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

I use this to feed 7 IP cameras at 8mb/s to my NVR. It never fails, no packets are lost, and I never have to reboot it.

TL;DR RMA is more expensive than the switch itself to honor the warranty, just buy a new one.

Item arrived on time. Easy to install. Works as advertised. No surprises.

easy to set up. plug and play.

As a Network Engineer, I have experience in having some equipment not work out of the box.

Im not a low voltage expert so I can only express from the feeling after using it. Does work but the internet speed is not as good as if I connect the modem directly (drop by 100mbps for a 500mbps internet). I dont know if this is normal. But I need these switches so I will keep them.

Macht was es soll. Das einige was stört ist geblinke der LEDs. Aber um zu sehen was angeschloßen ist ein muss

Awesome!

If buying a true managed switch is not an option for you, and your router software allows for assigning different sub-networks to each port, then for ~$20 this little switch is a super cheap and compact working solution. I have another one like this that can supply power (PoE), which one has caused zero issues over the last 12 months. So I trust that Netgear got this one right. I also like that it has a separate power supply, vs. built-in. More cbles, but easier to replace.

Excellent product for an incredible price. I use this everyday and take it on travel.
