NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switch (GS308E) - Desktop or Wall Mount, Home Network Hub, Office Ethernet Splitter, Silent Operation, Black

This is a pretty simple to use, and its pretty sleek looking. Plug it in, hook your Ethernet from the WiFi into the first slot and Ethernet cables to your devices in the next 7.

This unit is doing exactly what I need it to do.

Plugged it in. It just works. It is not the cheapest, but the switch seems well made. My only complaint is the description on Amazon which describes it as a Switch / Hub / Splitter. It is a Switch. Period. The other two terms are incorrect, thank goodness. Hubs have not been made since the Gigabit standard was adopted. Hubs blindly rebroadcast packets across all other ports, and are horrible for your network. The only reason they were ever made is that switches used to be prohibitively expensive. Splitters are a very different device used to send two separate Ethernet signals (at max 100 Mbps) across a single Ethernet cable. There are very, very few instances in which this is still necessary. Unfortunately, some consumers search for those terms, which causes sellers to include them in the titles and descriptions, which results in further consumer confusion.

This product definitely fixed my problem by providing me addition access points for all the stuff I have. I took velcro Command strips and mounted it on the back of my desk. Doesnt take space on my desk and I dont see all the wires.

Zero complaints. Took almost 30 seconds to get it out of the packaging and then plug it in and start using it. Excellent value and build quality. No registration, account, subscription, no nothing. Just plug it in and go.

Easy to use eight port switch. Been a year or so. Am content as of now, but I did not expect any warranty support from day one. Guess Im lucky.

I raised the internet speed in my house up to 500 MBS, but all the wired items show no speed increase. Then I figured out that my ethernet switch managed up to 100 MBS only. I change my switch to the NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet and WUALAA, now Im happy.

All the wired connections in my LAN run through this hub which is used to distribute the gigabit fiber internet connection from my EERO Pro 6. The Netgear 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS308) handles this task effortlessly. I plugged it in more than 3 months ago and it has been running continuously without any drama. Highly recommended.

My husband does a lot of wiring for small business. He loves the netgear brand. They always work great and are easy to setup. Plug the source wire from the modem into slot 1 and then all your additional devices into 2-8 and now you don’t need wifi! Way faster! So just for general info on an 8 slot you can only use 7 of the slots, the first slot is for bringing the Internet into the unit.
