    Excellent device. We are upgrading our home network. This switch was the last component we needed to complete the upgrade. Thanks Best Buy for having this item in stock and available for curbside pickup. Very nice!

    I mounted this switch inside the metal wiring enclosure in my laundry room wall and haven't touched it since. Now all my rooms are connected and I was able to move my router to a more appropriate location.

    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.

    Works great. Not much to it. Plugged it in to Google Wi-Fi, plugged hard wired items in to the switch. Everything good. Took longer to get it out of the box than set up.

    It works great for my home. I do a lot of work from home and using an Ethernet switch has taken a lot of the load off my WiFi router and helped speed up internet throughout the house. It works great!
