Size: 5 Port
I picked up the NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet switch to go with my NETGEAR Orbi 370 Series, and it ended up being one of those “why didn’t I do this sooner” upgrades. The Orbi already delivers strong, reliable WiFi throughout the house, but adding the switch takes things up a notch—especially for anything that benefits from a wired connection. My TV, gaming console, and work setup all run smoother with zero hiccups. No buffering, no random drops, just steady performance. The switch itself is as simple as it gets. No setup, no headache—just plug everything in and it works instantly. It’s small, quiet, and does exactly what it’s supposed to without drawing attention to itself. Together with the Orbi system, it creates a really balanced setup: fast WiFi everywhere plus rock-solid wired connections where it matters. If you’re already using Orbi and have multiple devices, adding this switch is an easy win. ... show more

    • Review of the NETGEAR GS308 8-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch
Size: 8 Port
My expectations for the NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS308) as a home network hub and workplace Ethernet splitter have been far surpassed. I tried a different product after using the prior switch from a different manufacturer for four years, which sadly failed after just two months. At that time, I discovered the NETGEAR GS308, and I couldn't be more pleased with my decision. First and foremost, this switch is incredibly reliable. I can state with confidence that after using it for a while, it has consistently and steadily handled my devices while maintaining a network connection. I had no trouble setting it up because of its plug-and-play functionality; I didn't have to deal with any difficult configurations or software installations. The GS308's quiet functioning is one of its most outstanding features. This switch doesn't make any noise at all, in contrast to some others that occasionally make annoying fan noises, which helps to maintain peace and quiet at my workspace. The switch's elegant, small shape also seamlessly integrates into my system without taking up extra room. I am confident that it will continue to operate dependably for many years to come because of its sturdy construction. The GS308 is a future-proof investment because it has the most recent upgrades as well. It has shown outstanding interoperability with contemporary devices and allows high-speed data transfers, making it the best choice for tasks requiring a lot of data. The value for money offered by the NETGEAR GS308 is simply exceptional. It is an affordable and useful option for both home and workplace use due to its fair price and great performance. The NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS308) is wonderful, and I am very happy with it. It has exceeded my expectations by proving to be a dependable, effective, and silent network hub. Finding this model has been a game-changer after a negative experience with a previous brand. Anyone in need of a high-quality, trustworthy Ethernet switch should definitely choose the GS308. ... show more

    • Just as expected.
Size: 5 Port
It arrived quickly and well packaged. It's small and feels like good quality. I don't need a faster or managed switch, so this looks perfect on paper to simply add additional wired ports to my router. Installation was totally painless, just plug in the power and network cables and it immediately started working. No issues whatsoever. I've only had it wired in for an hour or so, but I will update this review if needed. ... show more

    • Excellent Quality Unmanaged Switch
Size: 16 Port
This is a very fast {1G, all ports} unmanaged switch. It seems of good quality as most of Netgear items are. One bit of information, after plugging every Ethernet wire in and then applying power, as the manual suggests, I was having stability issues that my Router's tech support solved which was to unplug every Ethernet wire and reinsert them 1 at a time, with power on, and the stability was fully restored. It's working flawlessly. It's worth the premium price for the performance it offers and the brand recognition. ... show more

    • Well worth the price.
Size: 5 Port
Well worth the price. Easy installation (plug n play) and works well. Upload speed dropped down a bit (from 950 to 790-800), but the difference is barely noticable. All devices had no issues with connectivity.

I needed to run internet to my garage located 280ft from my house, I had my doubts due to the length of wire I needed, but i got this Netgear 8 port data switch and 300ft of cat6a ethernet anyways and honestly, i should have done this sooner! Super easy setup! Plug in and go. Even being run through 300ft of ethernet connection speeds are great through this switch! Tested via wifi 100ft away from my garage router! ... show more

    • good cheap hub..
Size: 5 Port
Works perfect and price was good. I just needed a basic wired hub for 3 computers to run Ethernet through..plugged it in ran an Ethernet cable from each PC to the hub plugged in my Ethernet cable from my router and it was that easy. Connection was automatic and download and upload speedsis the same as a direct connection to my router. Has worked perfect for my needs with zero issues. ... show more
