    If you looking to expand your Ethernet network this is a great product to do it. I throw Ethernet cables all over my house, and this extender is the hard of my network. I have multiple TVs, Xbox, laptops going at the same time, and I never hear my kids complaining of a bad internet connection.

    I have purchased 3 of these Netgear 8 port switches prior to this one. I have a smart home and have been adding to my system. Needed to purchase another switch to add more devices and did not even think of any other switch because of the quality and how long my first one has lasted.

    Needed to upgrade my networking form the 4 port switch I had before. I only needed 6, but this is good, in case i need more. Great buy.

    Great for when you want to go to wired instead of wireless. If you do not have a powerful wireless router, wired is the way to go. The unmanaged feature is preferable for a home since it is unlikely that you would have separate print servers, etc. make sure you use cat six or cat seven cable

    I don't know why, but consumer-grade hubs or switches that look like scaled-down versions of what you might find in a rack (such as this one) seem to last longer than consumer-grade switches with fancier industrial design that looks like it was intended for home use.

    Awesome product to use in home networking. Used it to expand my sisters home networking capabilities and used Linksys tri band wifi 6 3 pack unit to replace the crappy COX panoramic wifi. Works great!

    I added this ethernet switch to accommodate three additional CAT 5 wired connections to my home office. It works great. There are holes on the bottom of the switchboard to allow for mounting on a wall or framing which is an additional feature.

    This purchase was great for the sale price of a dependable 10/100/1000 switch. There is no setup or configuration needed for this switch so it is very easy to add to any network.

    I needed a few extra ports to pickup the additional ethernet connections I wired in to the house, so I picked this switch at a great price. So far it's working out great.

    8 Port Gigabit Hub

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I needed a few more network ports and ones that "auto-negotiate" for my home network. So I swapped out two older 10/100 hubs for this new gigabit 8 port hub. Plugged in all the cables and all is running just fine. This improved network performance versus the old set up.
