    My go to switch for my travel bags. Always work and not a bad price for a well built switch.

    I originally had a Cisco / Linksys Small Business switch in its place, but it doesnt support Jumbo Frames. My home network has numerous devices which support Jumbo Frames and using two of these increased my traffic with a noticeable difference. Excellent product for the price.

    This is a nicely priced switch, with great looks and performance. I have a white Synology NAS box and white Apple Router sitting with it, so it matches the décor nicely. I have the NAS box connected to it, which is the highest volume device going through it, and have not suffered a bit of performance reduction. I have it standing vertically using the included stand (feet may be a better word), but it does have rubber feet built into the bottom of the for horizontal orientation. The LED lights for each port change color to indicate the speed the device is connecting at, and there is a front power light as well. The unit runs very cool, despite the plastic case and passive cooling. I have a small gripe with this router, but it is not enough to deduct from the rating. The unit is very light, being that its made of plastic, and this allows it to be moved by the heavier (and in some cases stiff) cables plugged into its ports. Not a big deal, but worth mentioning. I have the 8 port version and still have 4 ports left, so I expect to have this switch for years to come!

    Honestly my father owned the 5 switch version but it wasn’t enough so by getting the 8 you easily can have multiple connections and still keep your fast 1gb internet’s speed or even more without it hindering the performance at all!

    I upgraded from a 4 port to this 8 port switch gave me the expansion I needed without any loss of speed.

    This switch is the best I have had. It worked first time right out of the box with my MAC and PC environment. It auto finds the highest level it can work at and hold it solid. Highly recommended!!!

    I have always liked Netgear products and have never had any issue with them. I currently have 2 five port switches running in my office but needed one for our new finished basement so I could run all my devices over wired ethernet rather than through wireless. I have the switch sitting in a tv cabinet and it works great. It looks good, works well, doesnt get hot, and does what I need it to do. The price is good for an 8 port switch that runs at gigabit speed. I also like that non used ports do not consume power when not in use. Right now I am running an Apple TV, cable box, Xbox, and PS3 through the switch and it works as expected. I highly recommend Netgear products and especially their non-managed switches.

    I purchase this switch to give more ports to my wireless router and to separate my wireless traffic from my LAN traffic. When I had everything plug into my router my firewall was blocking many devices from seeing each other. Once I did the separation, I am now able to see my entire network.
