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

Excellent quality managed L2 switch! The built-in vLAN capability is very useful if you don’t have that setup at the gateway layer. Having used several other brands of managed switches, I feel this Netgear switch has the same (if not more) features as others and costs much less.

Much smaller that my old that replaced. It works fine so size should not matter and takes less space.

This ethernet switched worked perfectly for slightly longer than the warranty period (15 months) and abruptly broke. The only changes in circumstances were connecting the switch to a new router and having the ethernet cables removed then plugged back in (carefully, I thought). Three of the eight indicator lights no longer flash upon power-on, the indicator for connection 8 remains dimly lit whether or not a cable is plugged in, and no internet is passed through despite the allocation of IP addresses. Technical support were very generous with their time but no wiser than me as to the problem.

Purchased this switch as a replacement. It was working until today 6/20/2021 (was purchased in May, 2021).

Switch works as advertised, ran some cat 6 plugged them into the switch and voila. Streaming is working so much better after running hard lines.

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.

I have used Netgear equipment for as long as I can remember, like from the early 80s and they never failed me. Small and large, managed and not all easy to use easy to install and they just work. Never had one failed on me and never changed one because of age, only because of needs. You want a workhorse that will work until you dont, get a Netgear! Honest, it will outlive you.

This product is a price of garbage. It wont last more than 6 months. The warranty is a joke, because you have to pay shipping exceeding the replacement cost of the unit in order to receive warranty support.

Completely satisfy ty

this wonderful product I recommend this to every one
