    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!

    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.

    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!

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

    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.

    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.

    While upgrading to a mesh system I couldn't didn't have an extra port left on my modem to plug in the Mesh system. So instead, we moved everything to this easy unit which made the "tangle" hidden behind our TV way more organized. It's working well and we're very happy with it.
