    Simple "plug and play." Nothing to set or configure. The casing is pretty solid. We had an older model that we used for many years and it finally started to go, so we replaced it with this newer model. Easy to install and no problems yet.

    It works as promised, right out of the box. The only thing that could make it better would be to have the ports on the back of the device.

    This is much better to use at home wired connection for 3 Ultimate Roku devices, and Smart TV without interrupted to watch movie or you tub. This 8 port netgear replaced my 5 port netgear. No disapponitment at all.

    Easy to setup-comes with brackets that work great for mounting to the wall. Make sure you have an extra Ethernet cord on hand to plug this device into your router. No negatives to this point-would recommend this product.

    I needed to add three wired ports to my Comcast xfi modem, as it only has room for two I added the Netgear 8port switch. The setup was easy and it worked perfectly. This allows a more secure wired network connection.
