YSK: This is literally the most simple (in the best way) managed switch I have ever used. It perfectly straddles the line between managed and unmanaged and is a tough little thing too. My home wired network is not huge, and as such setting up a full network rack and cabinet would be excessive (and also I don't have space for that). More importantly though, this switch is a tough piece of hardware. Despite attempts to find a better location, the best place in my house for this switch is just inside of my attic. Living in Oklahoma, that means that its exposed to 100F+ summers and 0F- winter temperatures, as well as a fair amount of dust, dirt, and whatever the heck else is blowing through the wind here. Whomever designed this clearly thought that it might be placed somewhere like my attic, and as such it has not shown the least amount of wear, odd behavior, or any other concern for its environment. I feel I would be hard pressed to find another switch that could equally meet that challenge, especially one larger, and would gladly just add another one of these to my network if needed instead of choosing something different. Can't recommend enough. Buy the Netgear managed switch. It is worth it!

I needed VLAN support for a small network project, and I honestly didn’t expect much at this price point—but the Netgear GS108Ev4 surprised me in the best way. Setup was fast and painless using the web GUI, and I had VLANs configured and my network segmented in minutes, even behind a dedicated firewall. It’s been running without a single hiccup since. For the money, this thing punches way above its weight. Definitely worth grabbing if you need simple VLAN support without going full enterprise. ⸻ For My Fellow Techies – What Stood Out • 802.1Q VLAN Support – I was expecting basic functionality, but it handles tagged VLANs without any weird limitations. Perfect for keeping IoT, lab, and production traffic separated. • QoS & Rate Limiting – You can prioritize traffic and apply bandwidth controls per port. Super handy if you’re testing traffic shaping or isolating chatty devices. • Port Mirroring – Didn’t think I’d find this on a budget switch, but here it is. Great for packet captures or IDS testing on a budget. • Link Aggregation (LAG) – Supports basic port trunking, which is great if you want to push a little more bandwidth between core devices. • Silent, Metal Build – No fans, solid feel, and doesn’t add noise to the rack or desk setup. • Web GUI Management – Nothing fancy, but clean and functional. You won’t need a PhD in networking to figure it out. Honestly, for small labs, home setups, or anyone doing light segmentation, this thing just works. It’s not going to replace an enterprise-grade switch, but for what it is, it’s impressiv

Kept us going when we needed it fast. The in-store help was great.

This network switch works exactly as expected. Plug-and-play setup with no configuration needed, and all ports deliver stable and consistent speeds. Build quality feels solid, and it runs quietly without overheating even during continuous use. I’m using it for home/office networking and it has been very reliable so far. Great performance for the price.

Works well. Gives you multiple ports. Speeds are great.

Works fantastic and has really made connecting all of our systems smoother

Built a house and hard wired for the computers and Tv's. This is exactly what we needed. Easy to add to and fits nicely with router/modem.

Worked perfectly in to run central ethernet cables for my home. Easy to mount.

Helped me figure out which of my cables were bad and keep an eye on my network performance.

Easy to setup and worked as advertised. Recommended when needing to extend network.

I needed to upgrade my switch so that my internet connected to fiber optic cable to my house would run at gig speed. My provider is Metronet (TMobile). Actually, I am seeing a speed of something like 987 megs a second, but that may not be the fault of the switch.

Excellent product, and easy use, and good price for this.

My house was prewired for TV’s, but my system lacked capacity to accommodate. It was an easy fix with the addition of this expansion product. Two minute install…works great..excellent value

Easy setup and works great as with every Netgear device I have bought

Best machine for the job. Highly recommended. Makes your office connectivity fly like a jet !!

I rely on Netgear at home and work. Reliable and easy to use.

Not Much to say... It's a switch... it either works or it doesn't and this one does. Also nice to have a metal case instead of plastic since I'm using it in a warehouse situation for a few devices

So far it’s been great ease to setup and has plenty of inputs

Works as designed. I am a Netgear fan and recommend this to anyone looking for dependability and value.

Worked out just as we had planned. Perfect solution for our needs
