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

Great product easy to use, just plug and play

This is advertised as supporting gigabit speeds, but comes nowhere close. I will start off by saying I understand there are a lot of components to networking and a lot of things that can potentially go wrong. I am comfortable with network troubleshooting and I feel Ive reasonably narrowed the cause of the problem down to this switch. I have run speedtests on all connected devices: PC, TV, PS5, Xbox Series X and Chromecast with Google TV. On each device I get around 50 Mbps download speed. I have tried different cables (all CAT6) and different ports on the back of the switch with consistently slow results. I have tried each device one at a time with nothing else connected, no change. My home internet is 400 Mbps. When connecting any of these devices to WiFi instead of using this switch, I get within 20 Mbps of the target 400 consistently. Which I would be happy to use permanently if not for the fact that Ive never been able to achieve a stable, interruption-free WiFi connection. The switch provides a more reliable, but MUCH slower connection. The fact that it is advertised as supporting gigabit speeds is one of the main reasons I bought it. I dont need reliability as an alternative to speed, I need both. Very disappointed, will be returning it.

Easy to set-up...

RELIABILITY

With more devices going into homes, i needed a larger switch to handle the wired connection. the Netgear fit the bill nicely and is inexpensive. if you need an unmanaged 8 port switch, i recommend this Netgear.

Not much to say, it does what its supposed to. Good value.

This was a great little router for the price and security. I run several small PCs for mining and this fit the bill perfectly.

This is my go to for small office needs whenever the devices exceed the installed cabling. Works great.

Just got this, and got it setup in minutes. So far its great!

Just plug in your ethernet cables and youre ready to go!
