    Would love to review how well this switch works but it was DOA out of the box. Wouldn't power up with its working power supply nor with another compatible power supply from a similar switch. Have ordered another GS108 and will review it if it works. This is the first time in 30 years I've ever received a dead electronic product. Extremely disappointed in Netgear's quality control.

    Bought it in January and it died in October. No idea why but started making a buzzing sound then all lights are off. I can power cycle it off/on and it works for a couple minutes then dies again.

    Failed after 1 year. I bought this unit in August 2020, and it just failed. While I don't know how long the life expectancy is, I feel like it should have lasted longer than a year.

    I never got it to work. It powers on but when I would try to connect my MacBook or pc it pop up some errors. I’m pretty sure it might be something with settings but no paperwork is given.

    Taking it out the box right after purchasing it I could hear rattling. Through the vents you could see it was the chipset's heatsink flapping around.

    Lasted a total of 2 weeks then dead. The only network device that went out after a big storm. Funny thing is it was on a battery back up and surge protector.

    Needed an easy way to add four wired devices in a corner of the basement where my wifi didn't reach. One long ethernet cable, plugged in this switch, plugged in other devices, and - done!!! Super easy, no programming or configuration required!
