NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switch (GS308E) - Desktop or Wall Mount, Home Network Hub, Office Ethernet Splitter, Silent Operation, Black

I upgraded from 100mbp FIOS to 300mbps but my Xbox download speed still sucked. I had forgotten I had a 100Mbps switch in between the router and the Xbox. A few dollars and a few days this Gigabit switch arrived and I was back up to full speed in no time.

I was looking for a 5port switch when I stumbled on this one for about the same price. I hooked it up to my home network and it just works! It has been on my home network and give me extra ports that I was not counting on. Glad I found this one...

So easy to set up and use. Just plugged in the cables and it works.

Like the title says, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist or IT engineer to install this for your home network. Really nice and sleek design.

I raised the internet speed in my house up to 500 MBS, but all the wired items show no speed increase. Then I figured out that my ethernet switch managed up to 100 MBS only. I change my switch to the NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet and WUALAA, now Im happy.

I plugged my router into this network switch, then plugged in 5 different devices (Tivo, TV, PC, Laptop, and Blu-Ray player), and BAM they all had ethernet. Unmanaged switches are AWESOME, and this is an awesome unmanaged switch. Plug and play, lots of fun flashing lights to let you know its working, and the power cord is long enough to allow installation in an out-of-the-way place. Perfect!

Well, this thing already has 18,000 5-star reviews so Im not sure what else I can add. It Works great! Not sure if my review will matter, but it deserves 5 stars or more, so why not leave a review.... Power supply included. Just plug it in, plug in one line from you router to any port, and plug all your other stuff into any other empty port. Thats it. Could not be any easier. And only $20!!

Received quickly. Price seemed appropriate. Works as promised. All you can expect.

This little Gigabit Ethernet switch is such a simple, well built, idiot-proof, rugged solution for adding additional ethernet ports just where you need them. When you dont want the extra features of a managed switch, but you need the ultra-reliability of NetGear equipment, this is the best choice. I only needed four new ports, plus one to connect to another switch, but I chose the eight port model over the similar five port model for future additions at this location, because the price is not much more.

I upgraded my LAN system from cat 5e to cat 6 cabling, this switch works just fine. Easy setup.
