    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.

    It met our expectations and it is working fantastic. Also, because of its size, it was possible to place it inside the control panel.

    Resolved my issue right out of the box. Smaller power brick fit easily into my crowded power strip. Seems fast. Most of all Netgear equipment has been more durable than other brands both in switches and others.

    Needed to update home network, to replace an obsolete 5 Port 10/100 Ethernet Switch. Now with the 8 Port 10/1000/1000 Gigabit Switch, I have increased bandwidth and addition ports for the future!

    We owned this exact switch for years and it worked great. So, when a lightening strike took out all of our internet equipment, we didn’t think twice about replacing it with the exact same switch. We’re happy it was still being made!

    I use this in conjunction with my WiFi router to give access to all the wired devices in my entertainment center. It gives great speeds. Be mindful that it is, however, a "dumb" switch and you will need some type of router attached to provide connectivity.

    Needed something to connect the in-wall ethernet cables through the house to our router and this did the trick. Easy, plug and play type setup and speeds are what I expected. Well known brand name so I shouldn't have any significant issues.

    This is exactly what I needed. The router we use only had four or so ports. This allowed us to plug in all of our wired devices. Everything just works right when you plug it in.

    I have used these in my office at work. We had lightning strike by the office and damage a lot of our hardware. We replaced our switches with the same ones. With such good quality in the office I purchased one for my house to expand my network. I have never had a problem with them. Plug them in and forget about them.

    I needed to replace a networking Ethernet hub. Purchase this one on 5/1/20 and it works great. Revived it soon than expected and had all the computers backup and running on the internet in no time. I would recommend this Ethernet hub.
