I actually have 2 of these. One is in my computer room and allows me to plug several computers into my ethernet line at the same time and without mucking around changing cords, etc. The other one is at the cable modem input and allows me to leave my wifi router off unless I need it for something. The latter I find to be a security measure, since the wifi router is not broadcasting and can't be compromised if it's off. When the wifi router is on, the output goes into the Netgear router and then into the cable modem - without me having to mess around changing plugs and wires. These units are plug and play - they simplified everything and increased my security at the same time. I really like that it's small and as far as my internet connection is concerned, I've seen no impact at all on speeds. I do wish that the power connector was in a different location (it's on the side opposite the ethernet connectors) but that's so trivial as to be unimportant. I recommend this product heartily!

This product is truly impressive! The size is perfect for my setup, and the ease of use made connecting it to my router or extender a breeze. No complications at all. The functionality is top-notch, especially with how reliable it is for my network needs. The weight is incredibly light, which makes it easy to place anywhere, and I appreciate the added security when using an Ethernet connection. It feels very dependable. The heat resistance is a nice bonus, keeping it cool even during heavy use. Overall, it’s an amazing quality product. I recommend it if you need a safer online environment or just want to expand your Ethernet ports.

This 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch is a must for my home network setup. Setup was truly plug-and-play — no configuration needed. I just connected my devices, powered it on, and everything worked immediately with blazing-fast speeds. All five ports deliver solid gigabit performance, and I’ve noticed zero lag or drops, even when multiple devices are streaming, downloading, or transferring large files simultaneously. The build quality is excellent — compact, sturdy, and runs quietly without generating much heat. It’s ideal for home offices, media centers, or anywhere you need to expand your wired connections without the hassle of a managed switch. If you're looking for a simple, reliable way to boost your network capacity, this little device delivers big performance. Highly recommend!

I bought an Eero mesh router, which I love, but it only has two Ethernet ports. One is used up by Ethernet from the cable modem, leaving one. My printers are perfectly reliable and in good shape, but are old enough to not be WiFi capable. If I use the one Ethernet port available on the router, for a printer, the computer has to use WiFi. I replaced an old Acer router with the Eero. The Acer had five Ethernet ports. I was completely unaware of Ethernet switches. I discovered the,m on Google looking for a solution. I plugged a cable from the router into the switch, and then a cable from my old Brother laser printer/sheet fed scanner, and one from my old Canon Ink jet printer. Everything just worked with NO confusing setup or configuration required! Well worth the price to print to either printer from my iPad Pro downstairs. Printer are upstairs in my office. Perfect and easy!

TLDR: Affordable, easy-to-set-up NetGear switch, ideal for enhancing home network speed. 💻🔌🚀 In the world of essential home networking, I recently got my hands on this NetGear switch. Let's just say, it's the epitome of what a commodity appliance should be: straightforward, cost-effective, and gets the job done. The deal on Amazon was the cherry on top, making it even more wallet-friendly. And talk about convenience – same-day delivery had me feeling like I'd hit the express lane of tech shopping. Setting it up was a walk in the park. Just find an electrical outlet, plug the switch in, and then connect an Ethernet cable from the data port to the switch. Voila! You've got four extra ports at your disposal. It's like giving your home network a shot of adrenaline. In terms of performance, wired connections are in a league of their own, leaving Wi-Fi in the dust. Now, both my laptop and desktop are enjoying the fast lane of internet speeds. The whole setup process was a two-minute affair – the most time-consuming part was just making some room on my desk. The build quality is reassuring – sturdy and compact, it's like NetGear knows we don't need another bulky gadget hogging space. In short, if you're looking to boost your home network without any fuss or breaking the bank, this NetGear switch is a no-brainer. It's a small investment for a significant upgrade in speed and connectivity.

Easy to wall-mount and get your Ethernet cords plugged in. Make sure you are close enough to an electrical socket to power the unit. I did a SIMPLE set up and install, plug-and-play, for home use. I did not have any networking rules or policies to implement. The speeds I am getting are very close to what I was expecting. If the specs fit your needs, I would recommend buying.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I needed an unmanaged switch to connect some devices on my Gig speed network. I've been using this switch for several month and have had no issues so far. Performance is about what I would expect. So, no complaints.
