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

I upgraded my LAN system from cat 5e to cat 6 cabling, this switch works just fine. Easy setup.

I had 4 ports and needed more and it was easy to add more.

Like the title says, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist or IT engineer to install this for your home network. Really nice and sleek design.

Get full 2.5 gb speeds with no problems

The accompanying directions were not helpful. The connections were not marked for lan input. Just attached the input at random and the connected devices also at random and everything worked. No software or setup was needed. Not sure why there was an instruction folio.

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.

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 replaced an older Netgear switch that was rated up to 100 megabytes/sec. It worked perfectly for 10 years. This one was easy to set up and even had the same dimensions and mounting hole pattern! I look forward to another decade of trouble free service.

I have used Netgear products in my homes for over 25 years - good quality and reasonably priced.

Plug and play. Used it right after my main google WiFi hub to expand ports for the 2 extra hubs and a ps5 and pc
