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

One word for this: AWESOME!

Simple unmanaged switch which works well. I went from 5 ports TP link to 8 ports Neatgear. While both works well, Netgear has brighter activities lights - maybe good or bad depending on your need, but my basement is bumping with blinking lights like a nightclub.

This device is perfect for a home or small business requiring separation of devices/functionality.

TLDR; Dead after 6months, 1yr warranty only covers physical appearance and not functionality..

Was having trouble with cheaper TP-Link unmanaged switches dropping down to 100mbps mode on long 300 foot cables. This switch has been maintaining a solid gigabit connection across the same cables.

I just needed it to work, and it does.

Ive used Netgear routers and switches for years because they just work (and keep working). I have another unit just like this one on my internal network, and despite power outages, and network changes, Ive never had to reboot any of them. ;-)

This is NOT a wifi router! It’s a switch. Essentially a splitter for ethernet lines... Plug line 1 into the source of your network signal (like your cable modem) and plug your other devices into it. Plug the power cord in and wait about ten seconds. Watch the blinking lights.

Working nicely without any issues, does its job

I love this thing because you just plug it in, and it works. No difficulties!
