    This replaced an older unit that had been in service for a number of years. The new unit was able to take advantage of increased internet speeds and the unit has nice look. The additional ports helped too. I highly recommend this unit.

    This is just what I needed. I bought mesh routers and they only have one spot to plug in anything besides the modem. I plugged in 3 devices to this and have room left over for more.

    Our internet cable company told us to buy this for the issues we were having and it worked! I’m not a techie and don’t know much about it but we plugged in all the cables and it works fine.

    Works perfect. My old 5 port switch went bad and this was a great replacement, plus the 3 extra ports were a bonus. Just plug and play.

    Upgrade from a 10/100 switch. Just plug it in. Increased wired speed to smart tv. Bomb proof and reasonable price.

    I use a lot of switches at work, and the Netgear brand ones always seem to last years despite being in a very wet environment (inside a food processing facility.) Because of that, I have only been buying Netgear the past 3-4 years.

    This is a great switch. I now have my whole house wired - instead of WiFi. I rarely use WiFi. I wanted all the computers wired. It was quite a project. But one big step was adding this switch to split the signal to more devices.

    I use network switches in my work and NETGEAR has always been very reliable. you can plug it and forget it. if one would have a problem with it, 9 times out of 10 its a connector issue not the switch. anyways that's my 2 coppers.

    I had to buy two of these to replace an old switch that somehow was limiting download speeds to around 7 Mbs where we have a service of 100. These were easy plug and play, no setup required and restored our speed. Definitely worked as expected.

    As usually, this is a good item. I expanded to google wifi so I needed an additional port. I did not realize how many ports me and my husband was using. We may have to purchase more ports in the future.
