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

So far mine is working well. I havent experienced any of the overheating issues reported by others. I have generally had good service from Netgear products when used within their design parameters.

Used this to hardwire my office for telework in the new world of COVID. The switch works great. My VPN connection is as solid as can be expected considering my ISP and employer... Im a happy teleworker.

Worked fine for my need

This is a great buy

I highly recommend if you are planning to buy a switch also as mentioned above their Netgear tech support is the best.

I purchased this product in December of 2020. It stopped working August 2021. I contacted Netgear support via their web page to open a support case. After creating the support case, it stated that I had to call Netgear support within 24 hours or the case would be closed. What is the purpose of submitting online if you still have to call. So I called. After waiting on hold for awhile, I was connected to a support person I could barely understand. He stated I needed to be connected to a different area for network switches. He said he needed to create a new case number for the problem and then transferred me. After a short wait, I was connected to another tech who I could not understand. I spent most of the time asking him to repeat what he said. After awhile of him repeating himself, I was told I needed to wait for approval and that was closing the new case and going back to the original. Why open the new one in the first place. Again, after waiting for awhile, he said it was approved and something about RMA emailed to me. I checked my email and found it contained what I needed to return the defective product. I said thank you and hung up.

As soon as I connected the device to a power source, a spark went off and smoke came out of the ventilation holes. Dead on arrival, returned it to buy a higher quality one. Customer support was good but the device is not reliable at all.

Good product, does what its supposed to.

Product lights up but just stopped working after 6 months use. Under warranty but the cost of shipping is half the price of the unit. I found other reviews online with the same issue.

Upgraded my switch and modem (both Netgear). Modem was a bear to get running (probably a Comcast or Google/Nest issue). But now that everything is working I am very pleased with the new switch.
