NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Network Switch (GS305)

I purchased this NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch (GS308) to replace a failing network switch in my home setup, and it has been a huge upgrade.Setup was incredibly easy—it’s completely plug-and-play. I connected it to my router, plugged in my devices, and everything worked instantly without any configuration. This is perfect if you want something simple that just works right out of the box.Performance has been outstanding. All of my devices, including my PC and streaming equipment, run smoothly with stable connections. I also ran a speed test and included a screenshot showing that I’m ge

The NETGEAR GS305 is exactly what I want in a basic network switch. It is compact, has five Gigabit Ethernet ports, and the unmanaged plug-and-play design means there is no configuration or software to mess with. Just connect the Ethernet cables and it is ready to go.The metal housing gives it a much more solid feel than some of the inexpensive plastic switches, and I really like that it is fanless, so there is no noise coming from it but it stays cool. The small size also makes it easy to tuck behind a desk, entertainment center, or network equipment. Perfect for home use or work at home.A gr

Nice size, small, lightweight but sturdy, durable metal protective outer shell. Very easy to set up (little hard finding it on netgear site to register) and it works great so far. Have my TV and PS3 hooked up and printer is next once longer ethernet cable arrives tomorrow. Had to move in with parents and wifi is not reliable, so had to get something to manage all my connected devices. This was by far the easiest and most cost effective! Just had to get a long and set of short ethernet cables and this switch. Everything was easy to hook up and signal is great. Super convenient way to manage sev

Exactly What I Needed — Simple, Silent, and Just WorksThis switch does exactly what it’s supposed to do, and that’s honestly the best compliment I can give it.It was true plug and play — no setup, no configuration, no apps, no nonsense. I plugged it in, connected my devices, and instantly had more Ethernet ports available. That was the entire experience.All 8 Gigabit ports work perfectly, speeds are solid, and it’s been completely reliable so far. It runs silently (no fan noise at all) and stays cool, which makes it great for a home office or anywhere you don’t want extra noise.If you just nee

NETGEAR 8-Port Unmanaged Switch - GS308 is a great little switch if you just need to split one Ethernet line into 7 or less more lines (one port is for the incoming line to be split). But that's it, just that simple, plug in one Ethernet line from your source (home cable modem in my case) into additional lines to feed additional routers and that is about it. Simple, quick, and easy to install, just plug and play, lol. Mine runs 24/7/365 and NEVER gets warm much less hot, never stops working, lights keep blinking to let you know it's still working, well the power light stays on steady, but the

Plug and Play.I've had no issues to date.This unit is unsecured.You will need ethernet line.No wifi or Bluetooth.

When I upgraded my home and shop with wired FiOS internet, I eventually ran out of available ports on my Netgear router. This little switch solved that problem instantly and even left me with a couple of extra ports for future expansion.Setup couldn't have been easier. Just connect one cable from your router to the switch, plug in the included power adapter, and you're ready to connect additional wired devices. No software or configuration is required. Each port has an LED indicator that lights to show an active connection, making it easy to confirm everything is working properly.One thing wor

Amazing switch at a sweet price. Solid metal construction. Runs flawlessly. Basically plug n play. Highly recommended! Netgear wins!
