    I should have known better than to try a $15 GigE switch. It was terrible and I returned it after 1 night. First, it feels cheap. Second, who puts a freaking power switch on a network switch? Ive never in 30 years desired to turn off a switch. Third, it took my network offline 4 times the first night it was installed. I woke up to a slew of service down notifications in my inbox from my NAS. Do yourself a favor and buy a real switch, not this toy.

    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.

    I bought this switch back in 2009, and checking underneath I see now that it was the v2 version. It has worked OK but within the past several months, it has a tendency to dramatically slow down. Using speedtest.net as a gauge, my connection, when bad, will drop from ~150Mbit/s to 2Mbit/s. Unplugging the switch, waiting for a minute and plugging it back in brings speeds back to normal. In light of this, Im not inclined to buy a Netgear switch next time around.

    Netgear tends to make a fairly decent product for the price, but the GS608v2 is flawed. Random ports on the switch will infrequently negotiate 1000Mbit speed and will fall back to 100 after about 3 min without a link. Other ports work just fine at 1000Mbit, but you will have to experiement to find the ones that do work. On top of that, some network devices will not negotiate at all including two 100Mbit laptop network cards, one 3com and one xircom which are very solid, reliable devices in any other situation, but do not work with this switch. Other users complain of overheating issues or freezing issues that require a power cycle, or even complete failure after about a month, but I have only had mine a few days so those problems havent come up yet. Go with any other 8 port gigabit model. This one is not worth the hassle. I can only hope netgear will allow me to RMA this item for some other model.

    I installed two of these switches to expand my home network, using two of the ports on my Apple router. It was extremely simple. I hooked up various devices (DirectTV DVR, Apple TV, Vizio Smart TV, Vizeo Media Streamer, DVD player, etc.) and everything worked seamlessly. Have had them in place for several months now with no problems whatsoever. They look good.

    This is a GREAT switch. One of the best features is that if the power goes out, you dont have to reboot everything in a certain order. This has been a huge blessing.
