Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this NETGEAR 8-Port Switch to use behind my NETGEAR Dual WAN Firewall. It was VERY easy to set up: quite literally the definition of a "Plug & Play" device. It has worked wonderfully since then: reliably giving me Gigabit throughput.

Good value network switch. Works well. Would buy again.

Easy, straightforward operation, with great results!

A very solid product. Surprisingly heavy and well built. Does not feel cheap at all. It works perfectly. Easy to use and install. Our router did not have enough jacks and this fixed it.

Great switch at a great price. Did what I needed great

This works well for everything I need to plug in my new router. Plus, I still have a bunch of open slots for future connections. The price was very reasonable. It's slim and fits right into the enclosed area I have for my modem and router, etc. This device is solid and well built.

Using this at work in combination with our ISP's modem for extra slots. Good build quality with plenty of ports for what we needed. Had it for over a year and haven't had any issues!

Simple, yet very effective and functional. It does what it is supposed to do without any fuss. Plug it in, hook up your cables and go!

It's a switch. "Unmanaged," so you don't have to go in and configure anything. Simply plug it in, plug in the cables and go to town. Honestly, if you can use a power strip, you can use this to provide more ethernet ports in an area (say, for a TV, DVD player, consoles, whatever else the kids are using these days.)

Install was easy. Has Worked perfectly for the last few years now. Have three tvs and two xbox consoles connected. Would definitely recommend.

Performs as stated consistently!! Great value as well.

I love Netgear products. I can always rely on them to get the job done right without any deep technical skills needed on my part (although I know more than the average person would when it comes to networking). Easy plug and play and you know your home it set for life.

very easy to set up good performance and good price

This particular 8-port Gigabit Switch was purchased for a small business customer who's 4-port Wireless Router's 4 ports weren't enough anymore. I knew this one would be a great solution because I have one myself in my home-business network. Installation, setup and configuration was easy. There's so much to love about Netgear products. I love the high quality! I've been personally using and recommending Netgear products for 20 years or more. The only downside is that there are only 8 ports, and one of them has to be Router/Internet (or another Switch's) Input and, therefore, you only get 7 ports of expansion. So take this into account when considering it for your network to be sure you have enough ports.

Way better than having multiple long cords. Must have if you use multiple systems on LAN in a collected area.

I needed to connect a few devices to my router with Ethernet. This switch has enough ports for my needs. If your router only has one Ethernet port and you need more, this is an excellent choice. This Netgear works great no complaints.

Not much to say, but it just works! To me, that's all I want from a switch. I own many of these and have never had one fail over many years of using them. I only buy this switch when I require reliability.

Great switck for the price, when we get internet outages, I can unplug my ISP router/modem and plug on my starling and still provide hard-lined internet to my devices.

Its good that fills in the most Lan connection i need and doesnt disappointment. It provides the same speeds as would normally if connecting to the main source.

I bought two of these because I got WOW Cable and I now getting over 500MB downloads and my old 100MB switches weren’t letting me take full advantage of my new internet speed.
