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

Have several of these units, reliable, and good management interface!!!

Never had any issues with these

My WiFis router only had one port for one computer. I needed more. So I got this and Im glad I did. Easy to setup and use. A must for any type of network.

This is my go-to ethernet switch. I use several switches of this model throughout my house to supply all rooms with gigabit ethernet connections. These switches are critical since nearly everyone works from home now. Only an old 5-port Netgear switch has ever failed, and even then it was probably because I wasnt using any sort of UPS or surge protector. So I cant really blame it all that much. But since using UPSs on all critical electronics, they have never again failed.

This little Gigabit Ethernet switch is such a simple, well built, idiot-proof, rugged solution for adding additional ethernet ports just where you need them. When you dont want the extra features of a managed switch, but you need the ultra-reliability of NetGear equipment, this is the best choice. I only needed four new ports, plus one to connect to another switch, but I chose the eight port model over the similar five port model for future additions at this location, because the price is not much more.

Able to bridge multiple ethernet cables at once.

Dependable and well built. No configurations to deal with. Great through put.

I have AT&T Fiber, but I prefer to use my own equipment. I disabled the wifi & connected my Asus mesh system to the gateway. The mesh device only has a single LAN port, so throwing this switch in the mix allowed me to connect my wired devices in my office to continue to be managed by my mesh router instead of AT&Ts gateway.

I trust Netgear product in general. My old device ran for long time, maybe ten years. Several instances happened in my home network. It looked like to be instability of the switch. But after I replaced it with this new one, my network problem remained. So it was not the switch at all. But I am keeping the new one.

This is one of the best ethernet switch products out there.
