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

Easy

If you get in a fight, this is the type of box you wish you have with you - it is solid metal. NetGear is a well known brand thats been there for ages, and I like it. One issue/concern I have is that the blinking lights are where the cables are plugged in, it seems they consider that to be the FRONT of the box unlike many others with the plugs at the back and the lights in the front for visual indication.

Node 1 - Switch - Node 2 & Node 3 wired each to the switch. Works exactly as it should. What more can I say? Using this for wired backhaul for my mesh wifi. Works much better than wireless backhaul even with my tri band wireless, it still had issues. Wired backhaul is the way to go. Using Monoprice Cat6 for the long runs with dual 75ft cabling running to node 2 & node 3. It does in fact have mounting holes so you can mount it to something. In my case its mounted to the back of a bedside table.

Great unmanaged switch when needing extra ports or adding devices to network.

Very easy to use. Plug and play. Love Netgear equipment. Used older versions of this switch for many years and they are still working.

Works great I used it for all my stuff

Nice little hub. But should have bought the NetGear GS316P hub with POE+ (power over ethernet) as I plan on installing a few security cameras. Will still be able to use this one though. Currently hooked up, streaming TV, Xbox, and a couple desktop computers... A Synology NAS is next. This little NetGear hub works great

Great performance at a low price.

Plug and play out of the box. It works

Cant get two cables out on one end. Thought it was the new cables I just bought at first, but one is an older cable. 6 ports are fine, two not. Should have stuck with Cisco, needed more ports.
