## Description

Review: Does exactly what it says on the tin - Bought this to bring 10 Gbps Ethernet functionality to my home network. I can now copy files between my PC and my Synology NAS at faster transfer speeds than a locally attached SATA-III SSD. Very pleased with the performance. Setup was easy and the provided web-based UI is responsive and functional enough, you don't need to install Adobe Air and use the desktop apps if you don't want to. One thing I would advise is to download the latest firmware from Netgear's web site as it contains important security and performance improvements. You'll be asked to set a new password for the switch after updating the firmware which is a good thing because the factory default password is not secure at all. Build construction is good, solid metal outer case and the switch feels hefty and durable. It is also silent during normal usage. I've connected my 1 Gb devices and my two 10 Gb devices simultaneously and each device operates at its maximum rated bandwidth with no contention or slowdowns. All in all, for a home or small business, it's hard to find a better value for money proposition in the market for 10 Gb Ethernet switches. If two 10 Gb ports is all you need, then this unit is highly recommended.
Review: Good bit of kit - My first impression was that it didn't look like a Netgear product - they have a certain look to them, this was quite nice. then I got one and it feels all kinds of plastic. The app is a breeze to use and the web interface does its job. My biggest gripe is that the plastic around the sockets is too limiting which makes inserting and removing cables a real pita - even the usb one! Talking of which woudn't it have been great if the usb port could have been network discoverable, but no, it's just a charger socket. I know, I want a lot for my £25 - £310 depending on what time of year it is!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent switch - all computers connected instantly to the internet with fast speeds.
*by C***O on 26 August 2018*

This switch is connected by ethernet to one of the ethernet ports on the back of my ISP's Internet Router. I then connect all the computers in the house to this switch and instantly everyone has fast and stable internet on dedicated ethernet cables. Only 1 problem stops this switch from getting 5 stars - the cable management at the back has slots to pinch the cables (see product photo). Buyer beware - the slots on the amazon photos are much wider than the actual product that arrived. The slots on my switch are really small (3mm wide halfway down the slot, 2mm at the bottom) and there's no way I'm pushing my expensive 6mm wide Cat7 cables into such a pinch. They'd be crushed and ruined. I doubt you'd dare pinch anything but a bell telephone cable in them. This renders the cable management side of it TOTALLY useless. There's a non-cable managed version, but I want this great little design. NETGEAR! Surely you checked decent cables in these slots?! Your plastic tooling is designed for way too smaller cables. I also checked my standard Cat6 cables (around 5mm width) and I wouldn't push them into a 3mm slot either!
