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

Nicely built (took apart to examine), metal chassis. A better choice for sound-quality (streaming) use.

This is a preliminary review. I have yet to contact technical support. My internet comes through my provider modem. I use an ethernet cable to connect to an Linksys WRT1900 AC wireless router. I connect the switch this router with an ethernet cable. I cannot detect the switch or any device hooked to the switch using either the NG Switch Discovery Tool or Prosafe Plus Utility. It is definitively not plug and play as was my old switch. To be continued after reaching tech support.

I purchased this switch and installed it in August 2021. Its on a simple home network so I didnt need anything complicated. It worked great at first, but ports have slowly been failing. Within the first few months, 2 ports failed. Since then, 2 more have failed and at least 1 is only working at 100 Mbps rather than 1000 Mbps. Im now out of spare ports and will soon have to buy another switch.

Great price for a great product. Cant beat a lifetime warranty.

Simple and straightforward switch. Period. Well worth 19.99!

Was a great product while it lasted i loved it and didnt give me many issues sadly it died in a storm last night though and their support is bad in my experience so thats why i am only giving 3 stars.

Use this for a Small home cabling setup

Easy to use

Works a described, plug and play. Will use again.

Easy to set up, using it to extend ether network
