My old switches were only 10/100’s. Time to update. This unit was in-stock and priced right. Install was only 5 cables and their power supply. All LEDs were flickering immediately. That simple, that quick.

NETGEAR - 8-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Unmanaged Switch - blue is a very friendly and heavy-duty switch. If you need a simple-to-use unmanaged switch that will expand the ports on your WiFi or WiFi Mesh router or business node, it can't get much easier than NETGEAR - 8-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Unmanaged Switch - blue. Plug it in, plug in a patch cable between your Wal connection, modem, or WiFi router. NETGEAR - 8-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Unmanaged Switch - blue will do the job, and you have 7 additional ports to use with your games. It certainly helped me out with expanding my new Mesh WiFi system to connect all of the computers and network devices in my media room and many more uses in the house. You can't ask for better, for you got it and for a fair price. I'm going to buy it again.

Solid with a nice weight to it. Connections are firm and with 8 ports…don’t have to worry about running out for a while. Got it on sale so even better.

Easy to use and with the amount of cords I need easily fills this with room to spare. I have had no lag problems, outages or hiccups. This has made my life so much easier then running splitters from my input lines directly from the box. Great Job

Purchased this hub to connect gaming systems to a wired network rather than using Wi-Fi. Performance is very good and allows our systems to download and run games very well with no noticeable impact to each other. Would certainly purchase again if needed.

I have a home office with a lot of network devices - a raided threadripper, raided NAS, wifi6 hub, laser printer, voip box, and sundry development boards. This switch connects them all with great speed, and it is rock solid. Get one.

Already purchased (2) 4-Port NetGear Gigabit Switches in last 3 weeks. Purchased this 8-Port NetGear Switch to keep in reserve for anticipated future use. When we moved into our new home 5 years ago, prewired the whole home with Cat 6 cable and installed a whole home LAN(local area network), along with fiber-optic Internet. This year started expansion with (2) LG OLED TV's a Rachio 3rd Generation Sprinkler Controller Wi-fi enabled, Tivo TV boxes along with an outdoor digital antenna.
All these new devices needed more cable connections chose NetGear switches the BEST for their ease of installation, reliability and well known Plug & Play. They just work! Connect them and forget them. Extremely pleased with their peformance.
Purchased the 8 Pperformance switch 2 weeks ago.
