    I have several switches like this throughout the house. They work really well and seem to be well made. I also have the 8 port metal switch which is sturdier but will get warmer than this. The switch comes with a power adapter and a couple of stands that clamp on and will allow you to install it vertically. The stand will do their job but dont expect much in terms of stability. The best time to get this switch is when Netgear has a rebate for it and they seem to have rebates all the time. At that time it can be found for as low as $20-30. Highly recommended product for the money.

    Bought it for the price as a backup to an older version that continues to perform flawlessly.

    I bought this switch to replace a 5-port version of the same thing. I have this in my entertainment center for all my internet connected devices. It is currently working great and gives off very little heat. The issue I had with the 5-port was that during a storm we got a surge and despite being on a surge protector it went a little crazy. I believe since my router was the only equipment I didnt have on a surge protector and it blew out. I am guessing that a surge went through the ethernet and killed the switch? In either case my new apple tv I had connected to the switch had its ethernet port killed as well. I ended up getting a free replacement but just be warned that the switch could have a chance of conducting a surge through the ethernet. Just keep all your stuff on surge protectors is the moral of the story really. Now everything I have is.

    This switch is great for home and home-office users. Its unmanaged, so dont expect to be able to log into the device and change any settings. I spent a while trying to guess at its IP address before realizing this. The switch looks nice (seems like a nod to Apple), but its construction is not exactly heavy duty -- and thats fine for home users. Lack of a fan means silent operation, but it does get a little warm. Would definitely buy another if I had the need.

    I own a lot of NetGear equipment and I have had no issues with the quality of the devices. This switch looks great and it stacks right under my NetGear wireless router I have another computer in the basement also connected to a NetGear 1Gb 8 port switch in addition to a NetGear NV+ NAS. All were great prices, look great, and work great.
