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

The device came with UK type adapter which is not compatible with Australian plugs

The price was the best I could find anywhere, well, anywhere that showed up on the Internet searches from 3 different search engines.

No hassle switch that gets the job done, and the metal case is really a bonus!

Easy to install. Make sure you plug the ethernet cord from your modem into slot 1

Great value for the price!

inexpensive quality switch to keep your home working smoothly. i found the lights confusing so, when you see the connection light, its a gig. great value.

Its a passive NetGear switch. Theres not much to it, but itll run for years and doesnt require any effort to make it work. Theyre not the best switches as Ive had managed NetGears that didnt adhere to the 802.1x standard and were bought for that purpose, but they work with the basic functions. I use them at home, never again at work.

Great product for the money!

Living in Florida these things get hit by lightening so I always keep a spare or two ready to go. This last lightening hit took out two of my NetGear switches, but as expected did not get anything else on the network. 100% opinion here, but I feel as though they act like fuses for the network. Sure it sucks that they get hit, but it would be way worse if my router took the hit or my wired computers. These switches are plug and play.

NETGEAR has always made reliable switches and other similar products.... this one follows inline!
