    I used this switch as part of my Eero 6 mesh setup. Works perfectly.

    Also - this is some PSEUDO-smart switch. Doesnt have LACP/port trunking/VLAN/etc. It has a web interface and counters - thats pretty much it.

    The ultimate in simplicity. Plug it in. Attach ethernet cable from router to one port. Plugged in cable for printer, NAS, desktop PC. Really. Everything connected with no further attention. Only quibble which is also a plus is that RJ45 connectors are a very tight fit. Hard to get in (-) and out (+).

    It really is as easy as “plug and play”. Product is well-made and robust. It was as easy as making the straightforward connections and it’s done after all of 2 minutes...

    Outgrew my 8 port switch, and this 16 port does the job nicely.

    NETGEAR 8-Port Unmanaged Switch - GS308 is a great little switch if you just need to split one Ethernet line into 7 or less more lines (one port is for the incoming line to be split). But thats it, just that simple, plug in one Ethernet line from your source (home cable modem in my case) into additional lines to feed additional routers and that is about it. Simple, quick, and easy to install, just plug and play, lol. Mine runs 24/7/365 and NEVER gets warm much less hot, never stops working, lights keep blinking to let you know its still working, well the power light stays on steady, but the data lines blink with a wink to let me know I can depend on them, no worries. However, NO software which is actually a good thing if you just want a simple splitter with zero ability to manage or control what gets fed to what, when, how, etc. At first that was all I needed, now I need more and find myself upgrading again. I started with a 5-port switch that had 1 input port with 4 output ports, and no management software. I expanded and needed more so I bought an 8-port which added 3 more ports, nothing more, nothing less. Now I need to be able to manage some of my ports so I will be getting another NETGEAR 8-Port Switch with options for management from my desktop, laptop, smartphone, etc. and a little security built-in among other things which I find more necessary every day. I will be sticking with NETGEAR for the solid construction and long life reliability of their products. I will leave a review for whichever model ends up running with my system so I can speak to their software and management solutions. This is only for my home networking solution and served me well, so no need to change brands, just a little more money for more features that the next models up the NETGEAR line have to offer. It will be either the GS308T (simple managed switch version) or maybe for a few dollars more (what a great name for a movie) do a little future proofing with a GS308P or GS108PE-300NAS if I dont breakdown and spend even more for extra security, but then it gets more complicated with the software and I like keeping things as simple as possible while serving my actual needs. NETGEAR has never let me down and you definitely get what you pay for over TP-Link (NEVER AGAIN) for example. Stick with what works, brands you know and know they stand behind their products. You cannot go wrong with NETGEAR unless you get a model without enough ports or without port management if you need it, otherwise this model will serve you well. NETGEAR switches with their metal cases are far superior to the ones with the cheap plastic cases which can and do break as well as overheat in my personal experience.

The NETGEAR 8-port Gigabit unmanaged switch provides an easy, reliable, and affordable way to expand your network connections in homes and small offices. It is plug-and-play and features a rugged metal case. Features also include Auto-MDI/MDI, LED indicator on each port, energy-efficient technology, fan less design, auto-negotiation and non-blocking switching architecture.
