    I bought this switch to use in my entertainment system in the living room. All I had to do was connect the network cables and everything worked.

    Great product. Have one, needed another. Only way to go if you're splitting CAT 5 or 6. Reliable with a small foot print. Wall-mountable if need be. Recommend.

    No complaints, it's been running for months since i got it without issue. It works and that's all you can ask for from something as simple as an unmanaged switch.

    This perfect little switch offers full speed gigabit (that's 1,000 mbit) connections for all your pcs. It's the fastest and easiest way for all your computers to communicate, share large files, stream movies and video, share a database, etc. Installation couldn't be easier. Just plug everything in. Nothing to configure, nothing to go wrong. Besides, I've always trusted the Netgear brand for all my networking needs.

    I'm not sure how you could screw up an Ethernet switch but you don't have to worry about it with this one. I've always favored Netgear products and that's why I chose this switch. My wireless router only has 4 Ethernet ports and I needed a minimum of 6 for the various rooms in my home. I had this unpackaged, hooked up and powered on in about 5 minutes with zero issues and 6 ports humming along.

    I have an old house and one router with one wireless extended however gigabit Ethernet is SOO much faster! So I'm my home office I got this "switch" and now I can hookup my desktop, my VoIP phone plus both printers I have and more and I'm not slowing down the wireless strength of the internet in my house!! It's so easy, just plug it in and it makes your life much easier!

    The Netgear eight port ethernet switch works perfectly so far was able to split all my cables now. This way I was able to bring the router from Comcast up on the second floor so the wireless works perfectly now while the switches down in the basement

    I purchased this switch for college and so far it has weighed very well! It is very fast and connects 8 devices so I have yet to fill ask connection points.

    Plugged this Ethernet switch into Moca adapter downstairs and allowed me to connect my gaming systems to my network using Ethernet instead of WiFi. Greatly improved my network gaming experience. Was exactly what I needed and way better pricing than anywhere else I looked.

    I have used these switches before very successfully so I went with the proven product again. Earlier in time I had picked two up on sale but this time I needed them asap so paid average price for them (they weren't replacing the others but rather I was expanding the number of computers being used online. Little to say except it just works - with iMacs and PC's it was plug and play - no slow down, no issues with any of the connected computers and printers. It did what it is expected to do - allow everything to be connected easily and quickly and then stay connected. So far I continue to be very pleased and have no complaints!

    The switch has all of the features that you look for in a gigabit port switch. Lots of ports with gigabit speed for very little cost. Great value!
