NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS308) - Home Network Hub, Office Ethernet Splitter, Plug-and-Play, Silent Operation, Desktop or Wall Mount

8 gigabit ports work as they should.

It was a replacement for a 5 port

Used this to distribute ethernet throughout my house. Works great. Wish the mounting slots were situated in a better spot, not behind the circuit board or put optional external mounting brackets on it.

Very pleased with this product. It is solidly built and allows for wall installation - particularly useful when you install near the wifi router. I recommend.

This device is perfect for a home or small business requiring separation of devices/functionality.

I read that it was a simple plug and play but then the netgear folks came with going online and then i had to pair stuff etc...which i have no handle on...making this easy installation harder....a week later i received a not from netgeat saying that my connection wasnt successful....however my computer runs faster....which was one of the main goals.

Missing STP setting to disable

merci

This is advertised as supporting gigabit speeds, but comes nowhere close. I will start off by saying I understand there are a lot of components to networking and a lot of things that can potentially go wrong. I am comfortable with network troubleshooting and I feel Ive reasonably narrowed the cause of the problem down to this switch. I have run speedtests on all connected devices: PC, TV, PS5, Xbox Series X and Chromecast with Google TV. On each device I get around 50 Mbps download speed. I have tried different cables (all CAT6) and different ports on the back of the switch with consistently slow results. I have tried each device one at a time with nothing else connected, no change. My home internet is 400 Mbps. When connecting any of these devices to WiFi instead of using this switch, I get within 20 Mbps of the target 400 consistently. Which I would be happy to use permanently if not for the fact that Ive never been able to achieve a stable, interruption-free WiFi connection. The switch provides a more reliable, but MUCH slower connection. The fact that it is advertised as supporting gigabit speeds is one of the main reasons I bought it. I dont need reliability as an alternative to speed, I need both. Very disappointed, will be returning it.

I returned this as 8 ports might be a bit too many. I only needed 4 ports.
