    This is a great little router and is awesome for the price, but seems to have an issue where some NICs that initially connect at 1000 Mbps will drop to 100 Mbps for no reason. Plugging the NIC in question into any other port on the switch will allow the NIC to connect at 1000 Mbps, but plugging it back into its old port will cause it to reconnect at 100 Mbps. This behavior continues until you power cycle the switch, at which point the NIC connects at 1000 Mbps again. Dont misunderstand, this isnt a big deal, just a bit of an annoyance - when you notice a port thats supposed to be green has gone yellow, it means its time to power cycle the switch. Ive had to do this, on average, about once every two months or so.

    I had returned a prosafe switch which was a good move. This switch met my needs with no hassles. I would recommend this to others.

    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.

    I have not thought about this switch since I have installed it. It just works. Heres to all hardware being this easy to work with. Thank you, NetGear!

    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!

    What can I say it is ethernet switch. But, it comes from a company whose other products I have used, so I knew I could trust this product. I have had no problems with this switch. Its plug and go. Having eight ports is convenient.

    The Netgear 8-Port switch worked well in a home application. No issues to report. Probably would not use for a commercial application.
