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

Used to replace the same type of device.

Easy to use, just plug and play. But when one of the ports died after about 7 months, I called Netgear as this has a year warranty. Yes they will replace it, BUT I have to send it to them at my expense, and then they send a new one. So, meanwhile my wired network would be disconnected for the several weeks this takes to play out. OR, for $20 they will send me a new one first, and then they pay for the return shipping of the old one I guess. Cool, except the switch costs roughly $20. So money-wise I would be the same just buying a new one myself. I can understand Netgear not wanting to get ripped off by sending me a new one first, and providing a return shipping label prepaid for me to send the old one back, only to have me not send the old one. Perhaps they could set it up so they bill me if they dont get the old one back in like 2 or 3 weeks? Would make more sense to me, as far as them honoring the year warranty. Disappointing they approach it how they are. Netgear is my usual go-to, but Ill have to look at a few of the other tech brands as well, and see how they are reviewed these days.

This is a great product with great reliability. I have all Netgear networking products and am now on second generation because of their value and reliability.

This switch works pretty well in my opinion. I actually really love having this for my server. It has a good transfer rate between the modem and access point. This provides me with a lot of different options which is really good. I have used it to play a lan game. Another thing I noticed about this product is that it does get a bit warm when you use all the ports so make sure you have it in an open area to make sure you have enough air flow. It does require a power source and you can use it with an access point if need be to create a wireless connection. It pretty much plug and play so you dont have to worry about any other installation. It does not come with a ethernet cable so be aware of that when you are using this. Also ensure you plug into the correct port in order for the data transfer to connect. Overall this product is great. It gives me additional ports and provides my server with a punch of more things.

good product good price

I was hesitant because of some of the negative reviews, but Ive had no issues with it. I get my full gigabit speeds through it, so no complaints

unmanaged switch, what do you want me to say? It does the thing.
