NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS308) - Home Network Hub, Office Ethernet Splitter, Plug-and-Play, Silent Operation, Desktop or Wall Mount

Needed this to plug all the various media devices into for the home theater setup.

Simple plug-n-play connection, comes with studs for wall mounting. Very nice led indicators that show you when you are connected with 10/100 or 1000 mbs. These indicators let me know that I had some older CATV cables in the system. When I changed the cables to CATVe on devices that allowed 1000 mbs, the leds changed. In our small architectural office we view large image files off the server -- this switch speeds up our work significantly.

The Netgear switch is a simple flawless device that connects additional devices to your network. I own other Netgear switches and they work without any problems.

The product arrived dead. When I returned it, I received 50% of the total cost for a refund, not impressed.

Compact, easy to use.

Je le conseil a tous très bon produit

Good switch, worked great right out of the box. Feature ratings misleading-this is not WIFI-Its a hard wired switch. I also didnt need tech support, its basically being used as a dumb switch. Plug it in, connect the Cat 5 cables and away you go. Big improvement in speeds over WIFI. Prior I had speed tests of about 29Mbps with WIFI and got close to the 200Mbps Im paying for with the switch. Which is expected with WIFI, but thats why I bought it for the desktop connections.

Great gigabit switch at an affordable price. This works flawlessly; I have had zero issues.

The switch has metal case and its jot noisy at all. Plenty of inputs. I paired it with a Nighthawk router. Would recomend.

I purchased one of these a couple of years ago and put it on my network. Throughout the couple of years I had major latency issues at various points and called my ISP and complained to them multiple times. I finally got fed up and started replacing every component in the network. First the WIFI router and cables, and then finally the netgear switch. But I made a mistake and bought the same switch thinking that a couple of years later, it must be a new model, and seeing that it is highly rated I didnt think to check.
