    I like having the RJ45 in the back and lights in the front. Easy to install. My 10/100 switch still works great after 10 years. I had too many fast ether switches in line, three. 300 mps in yielded 20 mps at the end. Putting All Gig switches has only lost 30 percent in throughput. Now my studio has 150(+) mps.

    Like so many other small home office users, I have recently upgraded my network to 1000mpbs to help increase productivity. Unfortunately, I originally purchased a GigE 8 port switch from another mfg. that used a fan on their switch, a VERY noisy fan. After a month of listening to what sounded like an airplane engine, I tossed that unit and purchased this 8port Netgear GigE unit. It is SILENT. Basically a plug and play item due to its unmanaged nature, I have had good data thru put and no problem. It comes with a small clip on stand for vertical storage if desired. The unit is finished in an attractive gray and chrome exterior. It is also small enough to live on a desktop without sucking up valuable real estate. So, if you are looking for a switch that will not be stored remotely in some closet, this is the one that will keep the peace in your office. A+ *****

    My primary PC was getting sluggish and I suspected that the no-name 8-port switch might be the culprit, so I ordered this, implemented it...and now connectivity (particularly downloads) = much faster. Should have bought a gigabit switch long ago. If youre using a 10/100 and are wondering whether a 10/100/1000 switch is worth upgrading to, buy one of these.

    I purchased both the Netgear giga switch 5 port and 8 port switches for use in my home about 6 months ago. I have had no problems with either device. I noticed another customer reported that the switch would not provide gigabit performance with his/her Mac Mini. I have had no such problems-- this switch is able to handle both 100mb/s and gigabit speeds with no issues. I have devices that use both speeds plugged in and the switch recognizes the networking capabilities of each device and provides the appropriate throughput. I think the style of these switches is good, compared to other brands. I have one that sits in my media center cabinet and it is stylish enough to not stand out (if you care about such things...) All in all, this does what it advertises, which is all you really want for something like this.

    This is an Ethernet switch, not a WiFi router, and it works great as a switch. It doesnt, and isnt supposed to have, WiFi and I didnt need Tech Support to install and use it. (Amazon should delete those review categories for this device.) Wish Id gotten one of these a few years ago -- it solved an intermittent problem Id had with a device using WiFi that cleared up when I wired it to this switch.

    Just installed and it seems to be working as it should. I would have preferred a metal case but I could not fine a switch designed for desktop use with the ports on the back side and the indicator lights on the front with a metal case. I would also prefer that it have mounting screw holes that go through the case for easier and more secure mounting rather than the usual hang it on precisely placed screws of a precise size and hope it does not get bumped off.
