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

Ive bought and use several of these blue Netgear hubs/switches with the lifetime protection. I had one fail after a big storm, called up Netgear, and they sent me a new one - simple as that! The ports are all auto-detect (for uplink purposes) so you just plug in and it works. The power supplies have got smaller over the years; now they use very small (and cold) switched mode power supplies instead of big (warm) transformer wall warts. Network performance is outstanding too.

It was a gift.

As long as you dont need a managed switch, but want basic hub-like functionality, this wired switch is plug-and-play--and forget that its there. Thats the way is should be--transparent as a big cable parallel connection with the features of a Gigabit switch. Its cheap enough, that should it be hit by lightning, you throw it away and get a new one. No need for tech support.

Works as it should. It really served its purpose. Great output.

Works great!

Theres a million ways to misconfigure VLANs and only a few ways to do it correctly. Thats no fault of this switch which, after a few misconfigurations on my part, ended up working perfectly to isolate my IoT network from my home and office networks.

Speed speed speed. Hard wire both wifi and non wifi devices. Blazing speeds. Works right out of the box. no set up needed.

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.

I like this hub. It splits to 8 ports. Its unmanageable but it does what it supposed to do.

great product, I really like this brand overall
