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

If buying a true managed switch is not an option for you, and your router software allows for assigning different sub-networks to each port, then for ~$20 this little switch is a super cheap and compact working solution. I have another one like this that can supply power (PoE), which one has caused zero issues over the last 12 months. So I trust that Netgear got this one right. I also like that it has a separate power supply, vs. built-in. More cbles, but easier to replace.

Netgear builds their products without sacrificing quality for profit. I have replaced all of my other brands with the Netgear line.

We have ordered tons of these over the years and hold up well.

So far, it is working as expected.

Great product easy to setup and use. Quality is sturdy so not worried about it breaking soon. The network bandwidth is very good on this. Each port is on a separate collision domain.

Was plug and play like specified, very easy to setup. No problems whatsoever. Well worth the price I bought it for

Does what it’s supposed to - the only thing I’d like to see improved is the web UI. Other than that, I mainly just wanted it for the VLAN functions.

Very upset I paid extra for the managed version then find out I ALSO have to pay a monthly subscription fee or it turns my switch into an unmanaged version.

Yes, Netgear is the very best provider of efficient and reliable network switches. This 8 port switch connects several devices and computers day & night seemlessly switching data at 1G. When you fill up your 5 port Netgear switch, move up to 8 :)

Ive been using this 24/7 for nearly three years, and have had no problems.
