Customers appreciate the 5-Port 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Unmanaged Switch for its easy setup process, plug-and-play functionality, and affordable price. Many users have commented on how simple it is to install and use, with no complicated configurations required. The compact size and ability to support multiple devices are also seen as advantages.
On the downside, a few customers have mentioned that the switch only has two ports, which may be limiting for some users. Additionally, there have been isolated reports of durability issues and incompatibility with certain setups.

I ran cat6 Ethernet through the attic to the living room where my home theater setup resides. I connected my Apple TV 4K, Lg 65C9OLED, Oppo UDP-203, and Marantz NR1710 Receiver. The thing is there are a lot of Ethernet switchers out there and this one for the price is worth every dollar. It’s simple to set up, just plug and play, and provides a solid network hard lined into your system. For the price I find it hard to believe other brands charge up to 10 times more for this same solution. Sure, you could go wireless, but I prefer to save a few hundred dollars. Great product, I highly recommend this option.

It's a little different from the manual. As it does have the button.
But, its easy to setup. And works great.

I got this due to the wifi being extremely bad in my house unless next to the modem/router and did not feel like running multiple 75' cat6 cables to basement this is hooked up to a ps3, ps4pro, xbx1s, & 4k smart; all of which show over a 100mps (i know this varies but is closer to speed im paying for rather than 30mps wifi and lost connections) download and only time i loose connection is when internet and cable is truly out

This is a nice compact switch. It weighs .25lbs and I was able to mount it using a Command picture strip. No need for mounting screws. I've been able to get the 1G advertised.
I got it on sale for $25.

I found that I needed some extra ports and selected this Netgear unmanaged switch. All I had to do was plug it into a port on my router and it was working. No fussing around.

Great switch exactly what I needed to extend my Network. And has a nicer home look than other switches that look like they belong in a data cabinet. Also it was very affordable.

Needed a gigabit switch to connect together the ethernet wall jacks in each room of a new house to our modem. No fancy or extra features, just does what it needs to do - connect all devices to the internet using a cable and no wireless. There are slightly smaller 5-port switches but it still fit in the cabinet where all the household cables end.

Easy to install, straightforward instructions. Stylish but wish it was more flush to wall plug. Wifi network extension functions well , extended my wifi out to my balcony where signal was previously nonexistent.

I needed a hub to connect TVs and cable boxes and blu ray players to the internet. I have 5 of these in different rooms in my house. They allow me to hardwire into my network and only pull one cable from my router to each room. They work fine.
