    We bought this switch to expand our LAN. It is very simple and it works. I don't need to reboot the switch every once a while like the other brands.

    I always use NetGear products for my network needs. Especially during this time of covid. Working at home required further network connections. This was an excellent buy.

    I wanted to add Ethernet capability to my computer, TV and other devices. This did the trick. Plugged directly into our router, and then ran the necessary cables. Works perfectly.

    This item is very high quality and well built. I only buy commercial grade networking equipment anyway, as it does not burn out as quickly and usually has a lifetime warranty. Have never had any issues with this item. Great product and highly recommend!

    I have been using Netgear switches for years, my network connections never broke. Could not say the same about Netgear wireless Routers that pretty much turned out to be defective back in 2005 when I bought my first two sets. I hear they have been improving over the years

    Product replaced an old 100 Mbit switch. It works fine get the speeds I needed. Like the metal case, so many things now are plastic. Also didn't hurt that it was on sale.
