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

Was a great product while it lasted i loved it and didnt give me many issues sadly it died in a storm last night though and their support is bad in my experience so thats why i am only giving 3 stars.

Good product, does what its supposed to.

Purportedly switch management was available on VLAN1 and only VLAN1. BUT THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH MY GS305E (firmware V1.00.05EN most recent as of today).

I trust Netgear product in general. My old device ran for long time, maybe ten years. Several instances happened in my home network. It looked like to be instability of the switch. But after I replaced it with this new one, my network problem remained. So it was not the switch at all. But I am keeping the new one.

It does the job. Used behind TV to connect smart devices.

Seamless plug and play on our network. Great for remote areas that need expansion.

I have the google nest wifi and there is only one Ethernet out port. I have like 5 things I prefer to wire up( ps, switch, smart TV etc). This totally solves the issue and it’s easy to install. Plug and go is all we need to do. Recommend

I liked the internet speed on the ports and power saving mode. It made my life easier. All family members connecting to it through cable and speed is not slowing down. We are enjoying. Thanks.

Ive bought and use several of these blue Netgear hubs/switches with the lifetime protection. I had one fail after a big storm, called up Netgear, and they sent me a new one - simple as that! The ports are all auto-detect (for uplink purposes) so you just plug in and it works. The power supplies have got smaller over the years; now they use very small (and cold) switched mode power supplies instead of big (warm) transformer wall warts. Network performance is outstanding too.

Plug and play and it works well
