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

Exactly as described.

I was using a different port before this and I always had issues getting the internet speed I paid for on my devices connected to it. With this one from Netgear, I am finally getting consistent internet speeds and I couldn’t be happier with it.

Works as advertised.

I purchased this as a replacement for an older SMC switch which was malfunctioning and am very pleased. File transfer speeds between our desktops and the server in the basement are faster. And 16 ports (rather than 8) means I dont have to pick and chose which rooms are on the network. The cables come out of the front which may or may not be an issue depending upon location and wiring desired arrangement.

This switch is exactly what I was looking for. Easy setup, unmanaged. It just works.

1) The Router arrived WELL before projected delivery date. *****

Top speed test after hard reset is 16Mbps which is far below the reviews posted and doesn’t meet my home streaming media requirements. Tests were performed from a dedicated Internet streaming media device and a 5G home Internet router connection. The streaming media device was able to achieve 140Mbps download speed via wireless connection to the 5G router. When the media device was connected to the Netgear, the test results were consistently 15-16 Mbps. It’s a sad day when wireless outperforms wired.

Easy to setup.

cant go wrong for the monwy

Well built and great speeds. Comes with wall mounting hardware.
