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

Works as advertised

Bought it to extend ethernet drops available and works perfect.

Not even one problem. It just worked.

Great price for an 8 Pro Gigabit Switch

Pretty Simple. Plug and Play. Just Works for a Simple Non Managed Switch. I have Multiple Computers, VOIP Phone, Network Printers, Media Boxes, NAS attached to it and works like a champ. I also have the 8 port version for several years and it has worked like a champ as well. Just outgrew the 8 port and upgraded to the 16 port. Metal Case. Built like a tank. Money well spent.

Improved speeds with increased reliable services to each device at home.

I purchased this in 2017 for my first home Ethernet system. We were signed up for 100m cable internet at the time and it worked well. This switch is gigabyte ready. 2022 and a new company is offering 600m fiber internet with TV for a little less than the cable company that boost to 200m for free to try and retain customers. After the installation, the internet looked good. Then later the same day the tv started buffering. I checked the speed and every test was different. No internet, 10m, 100m, 300m. The next day it stabilized at 97. I plugged my router into the fiber interface and it was showing 630m, I plugged into the router about the same, I plugged into the switch and 97m. I don’t know what the life of a residential use switch is but at some point we reached it and didn’t know till we upgraded our home internet. I went with TP-Link switch this time.

Extremely durable and of the most excellent quality.

Bought a couple of these to use around my house in various places for my in-home network. price per port was very attractive compared to competitors.

Cant break them. Used them quite a lot while working in IT. Never had one that quit on me.
