Customer Ratings & Reviews

A simple device. Very easy to understand the directions; very straightforward to install. Works likes a charm! Reasonable priced, too.

Great simple unmanaged switch and a great price. Great for those quick jobs that need more connectivity.

Amazing product! Easy to use and user friendly. Well worth it for the price! Did not disappoint. Highly recommend! Thank You

There's not much to say about this Netgear 8 port switch. Just plug it in and it works. I have a 1 gig network and I'm getting 1 gig speeds. I had a Netgear five port switch that still works well and needed another few ports.

It just works! 8-port gigabit switch provides great speed at the sweet spot for value and functionality. 5-port sounds like a good choice until you consider that it’s only +3 ports above a patch cord.

I use this as a second switch. I have router which goes to a switch, then run a cable from that switch, then to this switch, then to various devices. Just plugged in and it worked perfectly no settings. Perfect for me.

Easy to setup, it's an unmanaged switch, just plug in and use. 8 ports to connect anything you want up to a GB. Metal construction and a lifetime guarantee. Netgear switches work great for me.

Exactly what I needed, with enough ports to connect all my electronics. Easy setup and works great. I’ve used Netgear products for years and I’ve always been pleased with their performance.

Easy to use plug and play no set up required. Works great right out of the box.

I had so many problems trying to connect all my devices to my router. This unmanaged switch solved my problems. Very fast exchanges and upload speeds. I am completely satisfied with this purchase.

Very reliable, compact, easy set up, great pricing. I was tired of my TV's dropping Wifi so I used this to wire each TV and my PC. No issues now.

I just need a simple switch to connect more devices to my router. I just need it to be reliable, simple to use, with enough ports to connect all the LAN cable to my router. This is it. Simple to use.

It does what it sets out to do, all while not slowing down speeds or introducing huge amounts of lag or latency. Well worth the purchase! It’s a heavy piece of equipment though compared to its actual size

Great item. Better than the plastic "home use" counterparts. These usually have lifetime warranty, (I have bought 7 of them and 2 have gone bad after a few years) but it is not worth sending them in for replacement (shipping etc), as the price has dropped in recent years. But the lifetime warranty does usually indicate confidence in the item from the manufacturer. The lights are really bright at night, so not good for a room you sleep in or use a Media center/TV. They do tend to get warm to hot.

Built very well and seems to manage the traffic nicely. Purchased this to go along with my eero mesh system since it become the router. Unless you know you only need 3 ports (one is mandatory for your router), I recommend the 8 so you have enough when you need it. Have a switch to turn it on and off helps increase my bandwidth at night when I turn all my connected devices off. Wireless network gets a little boost (I feel) when the mesh system is not being tasked.

This is the first time i use a device like this. I installed and is working perfect for what i need, to have ethernet in three different rooms for 5 devices connected to it. Much faster that wi-fi!!!

High quality, works perfectly, plenty of ports for my needs. I use them to run data for lighting dmx network, never had any issues.

This gig switch has run a lot of my home theater and home automation devices. I've been very pleased with the consistency and speed of this device. For the money, it's a great unmanaged gig switch.

Easy installation. Network picks up all attached devices. No conflicts with other hub to which it is connected. Clearly indicates when there is communication passing through each port.

This is a great addition to our home network. Needed extra extra ports with all the devices in our home. Easy to hook up. Netgear has always been a good product name for our house.
