    This switch is hidden away in an electronics control center in my house and it works perfect. Once you connect it to your cables you can simply forget about it because it just quietly does what it is supposed to do.

    I have been using the Ethernet Switch now for a few month and I haven't had any issues. The internet has been working just fine through it and It doesn't seem to have slowed at all. The indicators showing which one is being used is perfect and It's very subtle so it doesn't get in the way.

    Not being a fan of Netgear products at the start. This switch has me warming up to the idea of the possibility of owning another Netgear product. Blazing fast speed combined with a seamless ability to share network devices makes this impressive switch a mainstay of my home network.

    this is replacing my previous netgear Ethernet switch. The reason for replacement was due to the age of the unit.

    this switch is super easy to install, just plug in all the wires and it's up and running. didn't even touch the manual, as upload cat5 can go in any port so you can plug all your cat5 wires in randomly. so simple even a child can set it up. got all my office computers and network printer hooked to this box and it all worked fine.

    It does exactly what it is supposed to do, you don't need a big brain to make this work. Super easy installation and it works fine. I love products that are simple to setup and work as described...this is one of those products, so it was easy for me to give it a 5 - the first 5 I have given.

    I have several devices in my entertainment center that need to be hard-wired to the network, but my wireless router only has 2 ethernet ports. I bought this switch to address the issue, expecting it to take a few hours to set up. I was done in less than 30 mins!

    Works perfectly. No issues at all. I bought this one over the 5-port because it was only about $10 more. Turns out I needed one of those extra network jacks, so it worked out great.

    I purchased this unit to replace the exact same item, which had died during a power surge. The original unit had been chugging along nicely for at least 3 years, probably longer, with nary a problem until a bad power-spike took it out of service. I expect this new unit to perform just as well. Recommended.

    Works perfectly - with more and more devices needing Internet connectivity, including cameras, sound systems and routers, I added this to help with the jumble of wires and to connect much easier. My router ran out of space and this was a low-cost obvious solution.
