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

This is a nice inexpensive network switch its unmanaged that allows you to expand your network with these. I have several of these in use in my house and have had no issues with them over the years

I had the previous version of this switch for about 6 years and it worked great until a lightning storm took it out. This one is similarly good.

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!

Easy plug-and-play. I am provisioned for 2Gbps Google Fiber. Using cat6 cables, I connected from my Google Fiber routers 2.5gb port to the Netgear MS105 switch, then from there to a tp-link TX201 adapter in my PC. The speed test result is fantastic: 2.10Gbps down and 1.14Gbps up, with 2ms latency. So, it performs as claimed. Other than that, the MS105 seems to remain cool during use. Quality construction. Yes, there are other similarly-featured switches out there that are less expensive. But Ive never been disappointed by Netgear. This unit gets my vote as a solid purchase.

I upgraded from 100mbp FIOS to 300mbps but my Xbox download speed still sucked. I had forgotten I had a 100Mbps switch in between the router and the Xbox. A few dollars and a few days this Gigabit switch arrived and I was back up to full speed in no time.

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

This is one of the best ethernet switch products out there.

Able to bridge multiple ethernet cables at once.

This switch replaced a working D-link unmanaged model. What I noticed with that old switch is that it was making a very high pitched, low volume humming noise. This Netgear switch, so far, is perfect and its completely quiet. Just what the doctor ordered. Highly recommended.
