NETGEAR 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (JGS516) - Desktop or Rackmount, and Limited Lifetime Protection

I like this gigabit switch. It’s powerful enough, but doesn’t suck a ton of energy. It has no fan so it’s quiet, but doesn’t get hot. 5 Stars

All the speed and quality of Cisco at 1/2 the price

As an IT professional, i needed a Gig-E switch for home. Ok, so i really did NOT need the Gig-E speed but really wanted it. No fuss, no muss, no problem. Plug and play.

NetGear makes awesome products. Would highly recommend this to anyone!! Durable and reliable & easy to setup!!

This unit is easy to use and has extra ports for later expansion. Using this to build a smart home for my disabled wife. Working great so far!

Works flawlessly and meets all the needs

Met my needs for a network backbone and server connection point for a small to mid-size business.

Supposed to be plug and play but I cannot get an internet connection with this pos

When you have more than a few internet connected devices, this is what you need. This goes between your internet providers router and your devices. Ive never noticed any latency in response, even with the number of devices connected in my home. (3 tv boxes, 4 desktop computers, 6 laptops, 5 tablets, an xbox and three playstations, a smart home controller and devices, anywhere from three to 10 cell phones depending on whos visiting, and smart devices are my average load) I liked the performance so well - we never noticed it, which is just what you want! - that when a power surge wiped it out, we replaced it with the same thing.

Description says 8 PoE ports with 85W total power budge, but this is clearly wrong: there are no PoE ports on this switch.
