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

direct internet for media, cleaner faster feed than wifi

Plugged it in and it just worked to the limit of the units connected. Easy!

Does exactly what I need it to do. Shipping was fast.

I use this for switching the network to different devices, and also to different rooms. The device is good performing, no lags. I had to contact customer support to use the enhanced feature. Netgears customer support is very good. They were patiently supporting me guide thru the process. Awesome support.

Good little managed switch for the price.

What can be said about a simple, unmanaged switch. The ultimate plug and play. Hope it lasts.

Not much else to say. Every so often (weekly-ish) this switch stops working (meaning any devices depending on it for network connectivity are disconnected) and needs to be power-cycled. Totally unacceptable.

Easy installation and reliability especially for its price point.

Living in Florida these things get hit by lightening so I always keep a spare or two ready to go. This last lightening hit took out two of my NetGear switches, but as expected did not get anything else on the network. 100% opinion here, but I feel as though they act like fuses for the network. Sure it sucks that they get hit, but it would be way worse if my router took the hit or my wired computers. These switches are plug and play.

The switch has basic management software giving much more flexibility to manage the LAN..
