> 3 dayLike 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+ *****

> 3 dayThis 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!!!

> 3 dayThis 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.

Greater than one weekoh I love these switches. I have Cat 7 cabling running around my house and the Gigiabit Ethernet switch worked well. I have 2 of them in the house (upstairs and downstairs) and the switches have been working flawlessly.

> 3 dayI was really surprised at the difference in down load speed when I switched from my old switch to this Gig switch. It made me up date my other computer hardware.

> 3 dayNothing is necessary other than plugging a small power brick into the wall for the switch and connecting ethernet cables to the switch. The switch is supplied with ethernet from a port on an Apple AirPort Router, effectively adding 8 ports - 9 total, where the Apple alone has three. Very inexpensive and completely transparent for printers, VoIP adapter and a T-Mobile microcellular site! You cannot set anything on this switch - it is unmanaged but that is fine for a home and a small office.
