NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switch (GS308E) - Desktop or Wall Mount, Home Network Hub, Office Ethernet Splitter, Silent Operation, Black

So easy to set up and use. Just plugged in the cables and it works.

easy to set up

Used this to replace a 5 port cheaper switch that ran out of ports , it works well and is sturdy

Works perfect. Plug and play setup. Flawless high speed performance.

Dependable and well built. No configurations to deal with. Great through put.

I have 1.2gb Xfinity internet service. I replaced my modem to take advantage of the extra speed as my other modem could only go up to 1.0gb speed. I have a firewall after my modern and it can handle 2.5gb as well, so I needed a switch to connect to firewall, and then from switch to my Eeero Pro 6E (which has a 2.5gb port). With all now running through 2.5gb port I dod get the full speed of my Xfinity, of course except to those devices with older wireless or 1.0gb network card. This switch is not cheap but I have always used Netgear for my switches and have never had an issue. So far I have had no issues with this switch. Everything is working well and Im able to take advantage of my 1.2gb speed or higher speeds in the future. Im happy with my purchase and would buy again, just hope prices for 2.5gb products go down over time.

Works excellent

Got the 8-port Netgear switch for $18.99. Great value for a trusted brand and it works great. What else can you say?

Recently I upgraded my service to 1gbit. My WiFi card maxes out around 350mbit, so I needed to run an ethernet cable. Only issue is the only drop I had was in the next room going to another device. So I turned that drop into a backhaul by plugging it into this switch. It now feeds 2 devices and on my PC I am easily able to hit the full 1gbit speeds. Cat6a cable all the way from my PC to the router. Device is low power and doesnt get hot which is a plus. Though I did notice a high pitched noise when no devices were attached and the device first powered up. Seems to have gone away after being powered for some time with devices connected. So far no complaints with this switch.

I have many switches I use for NVR Video surveillance, and high end hone network testing, local backups and large file transfers. I got this as a backup but wound up using for redundancy to my network! It is managed but I use it out of the box as unmanaged and works great! Im not a huge netgear fan for routers, however their switches are first class for large scale home / small business use.. I needed tech support on a different switch that was out of warrantee but running behind this one which was covered, I was surprised at how really helpful their support was to not just help me with my one issue but providing a very quick solution for me that made sense as they really knew their stuff, just took them understanding exactly what my goal was and im very grateful they really helped me out, but this switch for the money is rock solid and would buy more, and would recommend to a friend, customer, anybody who needs an unmanaged switch or a managed one with limited options but some customization if needed, though always works right out of the box after all kinds of routers, ip addresses subnet changes, it immediately adapts and kicks right into new settings like a breeze!! Great product!
