NETGEAR5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Easy Smart Managed Essentials Switch - Desktop or Wall Mount, Home Network Hub, Office Ethernet Splitter

I actually have 2 of these. One is in my computer room and allows me to plug several computers into my ethernet line at the same time and without mucking around changing cords, etc. The other one is at the cable modem input and allows me to leave my wifi router off unless I need it for something. The latter I find to be a security measure, since the wifi router is not broadcasting and can't be compromised if it's off. When the wifi router is on, the output goes into the Netgear router and then into the cable modem - without me having to mess around changing plugs and wires. These units are plug and play - they simplified everything and increased my security at the same time. I really like that it's small and as far as my internet connection is concerned, I've seen no impact at all on speeds. I do wish that the power connector was in a different location (it's on the side opposite the ethernet connectors) but that's so trivial as to be unimportant. I recommend this product heartily!

Plug and play. This is the third unit I've purchased and I'm very pleased with the product quality and performance. Solidly built and performs quite well. Due to how my home network was hard wired, I needed to daisy chain three units throughout the house. The network speeds coming out of the third unit have a very minimal drop off, overall highly recommend the product. Quick easy set up with excellent performance.

This 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch is a must for my home network setup. Setup was truly plug-and-play — no configuration needed. I just connected my devices, powered it on, and everything worked immediately with blazing-fast speeds.All five ports deliver solid gigabit performance, and I’ve noticed zero lag or drops, even when multiple devices are streaming, downloading, or transferring large files simultaneously. The build quality is excellent — compact, sturdy, and runs quietly without generating much heat.It’s ideal for home offices, media centers, or anywhere you need to expand your wired connections without the hassle of a managed switch. If you're looking for a simple, reliable way to boost your network capacity, this little device delivers big performance. Highly recommend!

Works perfectly. Light weight not heavy. Looks nice and the speed is good. So far stability is great. Features 5 1gig slots for multiple inputs.

This switch has been a reliable addition to my home network. The setup was straightforward, and it has been working without any issues. The performance is solid, and it's great to have the extra ports for connecting multiple devices. The silent operation is a bonus, especially since it's placed in my home office. Overall, it's a good and trustworthy product for expanding your network connections.

This product is truly impressive! The size is perfect for my setup, and the ease of use made connecting it to my router or extender a breeze. No complications at all. The functionality is top-notch, especially with how reliable it is for my network needs. The weight is incredibly light, which makes it easy to place anywhere, and I appreciate the added security when using an Ethernet connection. It feels very dependable. The heat resistance is a nice bonus, keeping it cool even during heavy use. Overall, it’s an amazing quality product. I recommend it if you need a safer online environment or just want to expand your Ethernet ports.

I have been using this for several days and so far so good. Great price. It works great for my living room tv. I got tired of it losing the wifi. Nice construction makes no noise. I get a great signal and speed is also great. I recommend this product.

Well made switch that works great. It is small and easy to mount with a solid build. This is my fifth purchase of switches in this line. I’ve yet to be disappointed.
