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 expected

I have 4 of these grouping pc and other devices in a vet clinic

It just works and does for quite modest price, what else do you need? I get up to 880 Mbps speed over home LAN (iperf), some degradation could be attributed to imperfect house wiring.

The Netgear switch is a simple flawless device that connects additional devices to your network. I own other Netgear switches and they work without any problems.

like it very much

Unlike many routers, these actually are gigabit routers.

Netgear builds their products without sacrificing quality for profit. I have replaced all of my other brands with the Netgear line.

Failed in less than a year. Look elsewhere. What else can I say about a device that should last for years, as it has no moving parts and very little in processing power to support.

So far, it is working as expected.

Finally replaced my old 10/100 switch with the upgrade to faster internet ... plugged it in, worked as expected with the upgraded bandwidth. Feels solid ... stays where it is supposed to even though the cables want to pull it every which way. Good price ...
