    Pretty much plug and play. I ended up buying about five of these due to the sheer number of wired devices; had I planned it better I could have gone with a much larger model. Hindsight. Anyway, I don't think I have ever had an issue with any of the ones that I have. The LEDs are useful and unambiguous. It's nice having gigabit throughout the house.

    Does what it is advertised. I have cameras and other equipment that has to be hard wired with Ethernet jack. My isp took away their router, which had 6 Ethernet ports and replaced it with one eero mesh router with one rj45 jack out. This powered gigabit pass through basically does what it suppose to do.

    I had to replace a linksys switch. For some reason it was downconverting to 100mbps on the router. I plugged this sucker in, and it worked great. I run 5 direct connections for devices, and my wireless router to my modem with this. it is plug and play. it fits easily in a lot of spaces. I have it running to a lower point of the TV stand.

    This is a solid piece of gear that everyone is familiar with. There’s really nothing much to say other than, it works and it doesn’t break. The curbside service was outstanding though. Ordered online, communicates through text, pulled up to a line of 20 cars after I was notified it was ready and I cringed. Five minutes was all it took to get me through that line. They crew was on point!

    This is one of those products that either works or it doesn’t. It is working fine and I appreciate the extra ports. As a home user, I am not using all the ports but it is nice to know they are there. Of course, buying from Best Buy, I got a good price and help finding the product I want

    It's a network switch, and it does what it needs to do. I use for hooking up network cameras in a studio, and it doesn't do anything strange like add latency or stutters. It has pretty good bandwidth, and is infinitely reliable. It has been powered on since I bought it, and has been running fine ever since.

    Great product with 8 Ports that handles your expansion. It's nice to have LAN hardwire vs WiFi as there's not chance for lag other than the occasional ISP lag. Definitely would buy again as it is very responsive and handles all my Home Theater electronics quite well.

    These Netgear switches are the perfect solution when you need a SIMPLE, unmanaged switch for a small network or a few extra ports at the far reaches of a larger network. Very reliable, haven’t required maintenance or power cycling.

    It works great! We wish we had bought one from Best Buy a long time ago. We bought it for home use to give us faster speeds and more secure hard line connections to our living room tv and Play Station.

    Switch works just as advertised. I installed it and was able to use it without difficult setups or configurations. It simply does its job and is small enough to be out of the way without taking much space. The green lights on the back were great for me as I can see that I am getting a good connection where I connected the cable.
