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

Would not recommend. Barely two months passed and any network activity would cause this switch to act up and drop all activity.

Its a unmanaged switch, what can go wrong. I have about 6 of them and all seem to just work.

Perfect to add some wired connections to my router that only had one port.

This switch is a well designed, sturdy metal unit that was super easy to install. The link status lights make it easy to see if your connection is good. I am amazed that I can buy a managed switch for such a low price. This switch allowed me to remove my TV from the wireless bandwidth consuming devices in my house and use a Gigabit wired connection instead.

Works amazing, i attach multiple devices to my port and they all work amazing. No lost of speed.

Perfect addition to my network to expand to hardwire 2 more sonos devices

I did not need 8 ports but the small cost diff from 5-port to 8-port made it attractive. This lets my 1GB network cards on my four desktops to run at 1Gb transfer speeds without going through my 100Mb Router. However, the problem with Windows 10 not talking to older Windows versions remains unsolved. So while my XP and W98 PCs now have 1Gb transfer access, I still have to use a USB storage unit off my 100Mb router to effect transfers to/from my two W10 machines. I had hopes. Sigh. Even so, it is nice to have my W10 units transferring at 1Gb speed. Hint to novices, run this off one of the four ports on your router. The network to benefit from the managed router controls should look like: World === Cable modem === Router/Firewall === 1Gb Switch === PCs

Good value, product worked well when turned on.

Very fast. Full metal housing.

Exactly what I w are’s when I ordered :-)
