Customer Reviews

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

- Affordable gigabit switch
It worked without a single issue for 3 years until power supply went kaput. Netgear said the router has a warranty for 5 years, but just 3 for the power supply. Not a big deal since I've got several ones laying around.

Didn't really benchmark it, but it appears to be working just fine under normal home use.

- It's a fast desktop switch. Simple like a hammer
It's a gigabit ethernet switch. Plug in the power, plug in the devices, and away it goes. Great for a small office environment. I like the way Netgear does the LED's on their switches. The auto-sensing ports are a blessing that is pretty much expected these days. A nice change from the times of uplink ports and/or crossover cables.

I'm very happy with this item and think it's great for most office environments.

pretty happy

- Works great
Very space efficient, very reliable, never any lockups or issues, but does produce a decent amount of heat.Constructed very durably with metal, but not the most stylish. Stylish isn't really that important in a spot where wiring is coming together, however.

Fully recommended.

- Good Product Bad Rebate
I received two of these in 3 days, a good delivery from Amazon. The switch is good and does what it says. There was a rebate due but I am still waiting for these after two months.So my view - do not rely on the rebate.
