Repeat Purchase – Netgear is a reliable name with a great switch. – This was a purchase to replace a failing switch and it worked just like it should.
G. O (verified owner) –
Easy to use. Quick to setup – This is my go-to ethernet switch. I use several switches of this model throughout my house to supply all rooms with gigabit ethernet connections. These switches are critical since nearly everyone works from home now. Only an old 5-port Netgear switch has ever failed, and even then it was probably because I wasn’t using any sort of UPS or surge protector. So I can’t really blame it all that much. But since using UPS’s on all critical electronics, they have never again failed.

Works great! – What can I saw. It works. I just needed to replace an old 10/100 switch and didn’t need any fancy functions. Just a basic unmanaged switch to give me some additional ports.
Z. N (verified owner) –
Does what it says it does – There was nothing really to install. I plugged in the power and then each of ethernet cables (It does matter which port you plug anything into.) and magically the whole system worked. I now have 5 ethernet devices connected to one internet router. Quick and simple.
J. E (verified owner) –
Faster than your internet company allows, this is the Autobahn – No, this switch will not slow down your internet, all seven devices will be running at whatever speed your internet service provider gives you.

Easy, fast, relaible – I recently switched my internet service from Viasat to Starlink. The Starlink modem lacked ethernet ports for my wired network. I bought this to serve the wired network. The first couple days of use my connection speeds were erratic and generally slow, apparently due to Starlink sorting out the connections, but since then I have had reliable, fast connections over my wired network. This does what I needed at a good price.

NETGEAR 8-Port Unmanaged Switch – GS308 – 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 data lines blink with a wink to let me know I can depend on them, no worries. However, NO software which is actually a good thing if you just want a simple splitter with zero ability to manage or control what gets fed to what, when, how, etc. At first that was all I needed, now I need more and find myself upgrading again. I started with a 5-port switch that had 1 input port with 4 output ports, and no management software. I expanded and needed more so I bought an 8-port which added 3 more ports, nothing more, nothing less. Now I need to be able to manage some of my ports so I will be getting another NETGEAR 8-Port Switch with options for management from my desktop, laptop, smartphone, etc. and a little security built-in among other things which I find more necessary every day. I will be sticking with NETGEAR for the solid construction and long life reliability of their products. I will leave a review for whichever model ends up running with my system so I can speak to their software and management solutions. This is only for my home networking solution and served me well, so no need to change brands, just a little more money for more features that the next models up the NETGEAR line have to offer. It will be either the GS308T (simple managed switch version) or maybe for a few dollars more (what a great name for a movie) do a little future proofing with a GS308P or GS108PE-300NAS if I don’t breakdown and spend even more for extra security, but then it gets more complicated with the software and I like keeping things as simple as possible while serving my actual needs. NETGEAR has never let me down and you definitely get what you pay for over TP-Link (NEVER AGAIN) for example. Stick with what works, brands you know and know they stand behind their products. You cannot go wrong with NETGEAR unless you get a model without enough ports or without port management if you need it, otherwise this model will serve you well. NETGEAR switches with their metal cases are far superior to the ones with the cheap plastic cases which can and do break as well as overheat in my personal experience.

Works great! I agree with the 18,000 other reviewers. – Well, this thing already has 18,000 5-star reviews so I’m 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. That’s it. Could not be any easier. And only $20!!
