    Old expansion network switch had failed and it took some time to figure out it was me and not the cable company. Bought this replacement, which had more ports than the original, plugged it in and was back online instantly. Worked like a charm, and is still working months later!

    The switch works fine, but it's lacking any manual configurations. I understand it's unmanaged but I've owned unmanaged switches from other manufacturers that allows you to configure things like link aggregation for home NAS devices. This switch lacks any GUI interface, it is great for people don't want to deal with configurations and just want a plug and play option. Had I known previous, I may have opted for a different brand, otherwise it does what it needs to so far.

    I had internet dead spots in my house, so I purchased mesh system. The mesh wi-fi 6 only has 2 ports, so I bought this NETGEAR - 8-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch. This is just what I need to get the extra ports I needed.

    This Netgear product if perfect for our home offices both downstairs and upstairs. It allows for transfer speeds that match our high-end ATT fiber optic internet. So easy to use and reliable. You can purchase smaller or larger port capacity as you need.

    This switch was easy to get up and working. Plug and play. I was able to connect it to my Starlink and now I have hard wire ports for my security cameras and Solar monitoring comm box.

    Extra wired ports for a small home network. Works well. Just plug 1 port into your router, and your devices into the rest of the ports.

    I was upgrading all of the cat 5 phone lines in my house to ethernet connections and need a switch to install near my cable modem. This switch worked great, was easy to set up, and wasn't very expensive. Best of all, it was in stock and I didn't have to wait two days to install it!

    I didn’t end up using this, because I used the managed version of this switch that I bought at the same time. So I returned this one. But its big brother the managed one works very well. I recommend either one.

    Whatever you need in an unmanaged switch, this thing should be able to do. These Netgear blue switches in 4 and 8 port models have a long history of being very stable for me. The price is great too. This is the switch.
