NETGEAR 5-Port Fast Ethernet 10/100 Unmanaged Switch (FS105NA) - Desktop, and ProSAFE Limited Lifetime Protection,Blue

Set up was easy and worked flawlessly as soon as I hooked everything up. No complaints and well worth it. The metal build of the product felt firm in my hand and didnt feel flimsy or cheap.

Plug and play . . . . .literally. Super-easy to install and plays well with other network equipment. Liked it so much I bought its bigger brother too.

I have been using this switch with a LAN connection near my home theater equipment so I can have a hardwire connection to my tv, DirectTV, receiver, and my apple tv. It was very simple to set up and have not had any issues with downloading or streaming movies.

As promissed

To this very day, Nancy has never let me down and for that she received the glorious fiver. If you dont own her already, do it. She is like no woman on earth.

I was running out of open ports on my router, this is perfect for what I need.

Awesome product, thank you!

Excellent!

Works as advertised. Would recommend if you need a switch to expand your home ethernet network. I havent seen too much of a drop in speeds either. Would/Will buy again.

I have 3 Netgear switches and 2 Netgear routers. Netgear is the only brand I will buy if I have a choice, and prices are comparable. That said, I bought this switch (my 3rd), and, even tho it works at the same high quality as other the Netgear products that I own, I now regret my purchase for the following reasons. First, 5 ports means that you only get 3 additional ports in most cases: You must connect this switch to your router. That takes up 1 port on your router and 1 on this switch. So, net-net, you will only get 3 (n+5-2=n+3) additional ports in most cases. That said, if you need just a few additional ports at a different location in your residence or business, and/or if you are connecting this to an existing MOCA adapter, this might be a good solution for you. While I have switches with larger port counts, I will have to exchange switches if I need more ports at this location. (Its already full, and I have already had to move devices to other switches.) Second, while I bought one of these under Todays Deals a number of weeks ago, it appeared today at half the price I paid then. It would be nice if Amazon had an automatic price guarantee. This is frustrating to a consumer, and suggests either that a better/cheaper product is coming out soon, or that the market doesnt like the product for some reason, or that, possibly, there is a hidden flaw resulting is dumping and/or discounting. Consider buying an 8 port switch instead. Whatever you do, $5 per port is an excellent price. To do a proper comparison, deduct the two ports you need to give up to connect the switch to your network when you do the price calculation. Some general networking advice: It appears that each switch, of necessity, keeps a table of the IP addresses on each port. I found that adding switches adds network stability because the tables in the switches dont have to be refreshed when you restart your router. Many times networking problems can be resolved by restarting just your router, causing the router to rebuilt its IP address table. However, if restarting your router does not fix the problem, it might be necessary to restart (one or more of) your switch(es).
