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

perfect for what I needed. old was only pushing 60mbps max. This one allows me to push my max to 200+mbps.

It was quite a challenge finding a 2.5 Gb switch. This switch is great. Easy set up and worked right out of the box. I can push 2.5 Gb to anywhere in the house. Highly recommend.

I like it

No hassle switch that gets the job done, and the metal case is really a bonus!

Just basing this review on a days worth of use. Purchased this to replace a netgear 10 / 100 fast ethernet switch. It was still working fine, which is why I purchased another netgear switch, but the 10 / 100 version had slow transfer speeds on my local network. With the 10 / 100 version, I was transferring files at around 11mb’s on my local network. With the gigabyte ethernet switch, I’m up to around 110mb transfer speed which is a huge improvement. Wish I would have purchased this a lot sooner after experiencing these updated speeds. Anyway, it was a no brainer as far as installing it. Definitely plug and play and everything plugged into it worked immediately. If this new ethernet switch is as reliable as my old netgear 10 / 100 switch, I’ll be pretty happy.

Up and running in less than 5 minutes!! Works great and the price is right!! Great buy!!

This switch works just as well as any unmanaged switch out there, and for the price, its a no-brainer!

Initially, this switch out of the box did not provide !G speed. I found out that the problem was one of my cables was faulty. This switch does a good job.

Weve only had the switch set up for about one month. It is working just fine. Plug and Play - no additional help needed.

I bought this one to upgrade the old 100M Netgear un-managed switch for a small office. Pretty much just plug and go. Not sure how long it will last. However, based on the previous Netgear switch that I replaced with this one, I assume it should last pretty long.
