Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works fine. No configuration needed (because it is unmanaged). Throughput is fine. Virtually no speed slow-down from my gigabit fiber router. If the internet providers would put more than 4 ports on their routers it would be nice, but it seems none of them do. This little switch solves the problem. Just plug any of the jacks into one port of your cable modem or fiber router, plug in the power cord and you are good to go.

Super easy to hook up. Works well, speeds seem to be very fast.

I needed an additional two ports for my home network. Rather than buying a more expensive switch with double the amount of ports I would have no use for the 8 port I am already using. Piggy backed this into my other 8 port, and it does the job! It is a solid piece of network equipment. I highly recommend Netgear for your network needs! You will not be disappointed!

Great Price for what you get Easy to setup Great Product

It worked as soon as it was plugged in. EASY to use and very compact.

I needed to plug a second wired computer to get internet due to security issues. Purchased this product and set up was so easy. Even someone with limited computer skills could set it up.

Had an older Netgear switch for my office that was not rated for the upgraded internet speed I recently purchased. Believe it was only rated for about a quarter gig. So needed one that was rated at a gig. This one was easy to set up and works great as well as getting all the speed from my internet connection now.

Great little budget switch. Used in a commercial setting where the ISP provided modem only has a single port. Works as expected.

Working from home has added several devices to our home network. This was a great upgrade because the PC's and laptops can be connected via an ethernet connection keeping WiFi open for tablets, mobile phones and streaming devices. Reliable and easy to install. Just remember to connect this after your router for the best security.

I needed to "expand" my 4 port router but wasn't sure if I should get a 5 or 8 port switch. I didn't want a "big" 8 port switch on my desk but figured better too many ports than not enough. I was pleasantly surprised that the 8 port was not a "big" as I thought. It is the perfect size and will allow me further expansion if needed. Oh, and it works great too.

Purchased this the other day when I was redoing my home network set up. Once I got everything set up, I realized that I would not need this 8 port switch but I have the same switch in a 5 port set up. Like NetGear switches! Not to fond of their modems and routers though. Just my personal preference.

This little switch did the trick when we needed more ethernet connections in our network. Seven additional ports is nice for duture expansion in addition to what we need now. It dies everything we need it to.

Great for home office. Easy to use and set up. Does not get hot

Exactly what we needed. Works great. Available in store when we needed.

This works great and is very easy to hook up. Very fast unit.

This multi Ethernet port box is fast, small and lightweight. I highly recommend for a small space and can handle a lot of Ethernet cords.

This switch is great, easy setup and doesn't throw much heat at all.

No problems with use. Easy to setup. Very, very reliable.

Best Switch Ever!! So when I got my new Google Mesh 3 tier Router I need to plug in several devices I have. This worked out perfectly. All you do is plug and play it's that easy. I might even get another on because I'm adding new devices all of he time. Great Product! Great buy! Thank you Best Buy!

Netgear Prosafe products are solid! Just touching them and lifting them reveal how well they're made along with the enhanced warranty & support! Needed some extra ethernet ports for the home AV system and was able to integrate this easily & get high speed instead of resorting to using slower & busier wifi. No problems in recommending this!
