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

Works

Plug and play great. wifi needs too be close to modern

I bought this as a replacement and have no complaints.

Needs to be power cycled often. Otherwise, my TiVO Mini won’t work. After a reset it runs ok for a day or two or even a week or two and then it becomes chunky as all get up until I reset the switch. Worst switch I have ever owned. It never occurred to me that a switch could be so unreliable. Absolute garbage.

I used this so that our Xbox, cable box and Smart TV could all have a Ethernet connection

NetGear has always made solid switches. They are always my go-to over any other brand, if for nothing other than they just feel better with their steel cases than a lot of plastic crap that is out there.

Excellent product

Just basing this review on a days worth of use. Purchased this to replace a netgear 10 / 100 fast ethernet switch. It was still working fine, which is why I purchased another netgear switch, but the 10 / 100 version had slow transfer speeds on my local network. With the 10 / 100 version, I was transferring files at around 11mb’s on my local network. With the gigabyte ethernet switch, I’m up to around 110mb transfer speed which is a huge improvement. Wish I would have purchased this a lot sooner after experiencing these updated speeds. Anyway, it was a no brainer as far as installing it. Definitely plug and play and everything plugged into it worked immediately. If this new ethernet switch is as reliable as my old netgear 10 / 100 switch, I’ll be pretty happy.

Works great....needed a simple unmanaged switch for use in our house and this fit the bill. Good speed and I expect itll last with no issues given the lack of moving parts (no fan to fail, etc).

It works.
