    It works perfectly, and it's of better quality than the normal plastic switches you'll find. I have a number of these paired with a 48-port in the attic and all function perfectly.

    My previous Netgear switch failed last week after 17 years of reliable service. My choice was simple - go Gigibit with additional ports with another Netgear switch at a very reasonable price.

    Upgraded to a Nest router from Google. Only has 1 ethernet port. Sad day. This now sits next to the Nest router from Google and lets me plug in other devices. No complaints. Seems to work without error.

    Great if you need to plug in instead of using WiFi. Had issues with some WiFi devices, plugged them into this and the issues are gone. Probably bad WiFi in my space.

    Fixed the problem I was having with my internet not giving me full speed. The cable company put a 10/100 switch on my gigabit line and they couldn't figure out what was wrong. This was the solution.
