    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    8 Port Gigabit Hub

    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.

    Solved all the network issues. Gigabit switch (un managed) works well. Netgear makes good products. If you register your purchase the warranty is lifetime. Thanks Netgear!
