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

Does what it needs to do. Does it well.

Simple to connect.

Great and inexpensive managed switch. Easy to setup for home use. Has gigabit speeds and stays cool and quiet.

Appears to be well made at an attractive price. The switch was plug and play and works as advertised. I have it connected directly with a CAT6 cable to my gigabit internet hub and have 6 devices plugged into it. The metal case and fanless design were big selling points for me.

This thing died on me after three months. Its not a very expensive switch, sure, but I expected more from a name thats been around a while like Netgear.

I recently bought both the GS305 and GS308 to up latency performance in my home network (half-duplex WiFi to full-duplex wired). Both work as expected and performance is better now.

Good little switch

My house is wired with cat6 to each room, but was wired for telephone. I bought this switch to convert my home to hardwired Ethernet.

The first one received all the ports died in a couple days even though the power was still on. I reset it several times but the porch never recovered. Amazon sent me a replacement. Im testing this out for a couple days. Will update my status for this product if it pans out.

Works great, easy to use. Only complaint is that its listed as an 8 port router, but its really a 7 port (7 out, 1 in).
