Great little switch.

NetGear has always made solid switches. They are always my go-to over any other brand, if for nothing other than they just feel better with their steel cases than a lot of plastic crap that is out there.

Only a bit more than the 8 port which I also have. They both work fine. data transfer speeds are as advertised according to my friend who did a couple of file transfers across different devices on my network. I think they were all over 750MBPS All my devices are connected at Gigabit. I guess that is normal. I run my router into this and then my devices. The 8 port is in the media room connected to TV, BluRay and Xbox. Much faster than wifi but a lot more hassle to run the ethernet. Worth it though for the stability and instant streaming of movies and upgrades. Far more secure as well.

cant go wrong with anything netgear. very simple plug and play, works beautifully.

I installed this switch after moving into a new house. I started seeing network speed deterioration from 1gbps to <100mbps and kept having to reset my router for the speed to restore. After about 4-5 weeks I got frustrated with the constant resets so started replacing components in the network to figure out the source. I finally replaced this a couple of weeks ago with a TP-Link dumb switch and voila all my issues are resolved.

Simple and straightforward switch. Period. Well worth 19.99!

This switch works well. I like all the Ports, it has plenty of room for future expansion. My only complaint would be that it lacks a din-rail mount. But, since it wasn’t advertised as having one, I’m not going to ding it on it.

Plug and Play

This is really nice switch. I wish the Ethernet plugged into back with lights in front versus both plug and lights on the same side. Silly issue I know, but usability wise that would work better. Net, very nice switch, great warranty, easy to use.
