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

Was working fine, until it didnt. Just up and stopped working, after about two months, dont know why. All the lights keep blinking away, just nothing will connect on the other end of any cable you plug in it. Shouldve went with TP Link, as Ive had good luck with them, well, lesson learned. No reason to bother with tech support on a 20 dollar item, just E waste at this point.

I got the 300 series switch today and hooked it up right away. I was not getting great speed with it but it was working enough to maybe deal with it for awhile. We have T-Mobile Home Internet and it has trouble reaching the other end of our mobile home. So I ran cable to use it wired at the other end with this switch. It started dropping off pretty quick...approximate time was roughly 2 hours in after being in use it popped my breaker and was smoking! I did not hesitate trying to get it out of the house so I ended up grabbing it and burned my fingers and dropped it on my leg and burned my leg too. Threw it out my door.

Easy to connect. Resolved my port problem and with no loss of bandwidth.

Easy setup, and a great product for expanding ethernet connection ports.

Our old switch was not delivering the 150+ speed coming in from our new cable provider. As soon as the old unit was swapped with this new unit, the network PCs were running internet apps 10x+++ faster. Perfect size and speed for my department

I really like the size and the features this has for the price point and the device itself is rock solid and not flimsy at all.

Versatile Usage

Feels solid. Works as expected. I hope it lasts for ten plus years. Thats really what I expect from a five star product. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I have maybe a dozen of these units, as well as some of the larger ones. The main things going for this little 8-port gigabit switch are (A) There is no fan, (B) They dont get hot. and (C) They just keep on chugging away. Simple as that, and they are cheap enough that I always have a few extra lying around in case lighting strikes or something.

Easy setup... Just plugged it in and go
