Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use this switch in many ways! VLANs is one huge thing I needed with this switch using 2 different networks within my home is one way for me to learn and with this switch being so cheap it was worth the $60 I spent on it!

Great switch hooked to my router and hooked all of my home theater equipment to it. Hooked up tv,receiver, xbox series x,apple 4k player,computer, plug and play helped so much with lag on wifi from basement.

Excellent 8 port managed switch that supports VLANs! Easy web interface to configure all the settings. Very similar to the larger managed Netgear switches in an 8 port configuration.

Works great, no issues. Plug and play, not much else to say.

Pain free setup, options that allow for extra control over your network. It's a great peice of gear for anyone from an average homeowner/consumer all the way to small businesses/prosumers

I discovered my home network wasn't reaching the throughput I expected from some of my devices. (especially for data backups) So, I added this NETGEAR managed switch and a few CAT6 cables to reach my full network speed potential.

I have this and a nighthawk router. Woke outstanding. The WAN Ethernet aggravated x2 is Friggin amazing if you have a homelab or run servers or a network with tons of computers with static ips running docker containers or kubernetes clusters. Highly suggest! Feel like I’m speed racer (the original one)

I have over 16 devices that used my Wifi for internet connection. After using this Gigabit Switch my device connectivity is at 1 GB speed.

I was given an open box item and told it was new. Called the store and they are very confused about what to do. Very poor experience from Best Buy. Device is configured with a password. Cannot access need to do a factory reset. It is physically dirty to the touch no condition for resale.

Decent little switch for the money. I love that I can segregate ports on their own VLANS on this thing. If you are not a networking expert No worries there is a very simple interface that you can utilize in Netgear's software that they instruct you to download in the documentation that actually make it extremely simple to set up and use.

These seem to go on sale for almost half their MSRP fairly often, and for ~$40 I think these switches are a great bargain for the managed features they bring vs an unmanaged switch. It's easy to setup multiple VLANs with this switch, and the statistics that the web UI provides is helpful at times for tracking down bandwidth hogs.

I got this switch to configure a simple VLAN in my home office network. The switch does a spectacular job and was fairly easy to set up.

Works as for what we are using it for, have not had any connection issues with this device

For the price, you get a minimally managed switch that works great. This was to be a direct replacement of an 8-port TP-Link that wasn't cutting it, or at least didn't appear to be. Regardless, I'm pleased with the results and can't beat the price, especially since it was on sale. Basic installation was "plug it in and move the cables". Configuring the management was a bit of work since I had to find it in the DHCP server first. You want a label maker as well to mark your ports and the device's IP address. Your network is getting complex, don't memorize that which you don't need to and ease your troubleshooting later!

We recently switched Internet providers and the gateway provided by the new company had only one available ethernet connection. This switch meets our needs perfectly and even allowed us to expand the number of available ports compared to our old router. Setup was non-existent as we just plugged it in, connected our ethernet connected equipment and everything just worked. We run a VOIP system at home for our phone service, so we wanted a managed switch that could be configured if needed. The switch came already preconfigured to recognize and prioritize VOIP traffic, so no configuration needed, although we could still make changes if we wanted to. We are very pleased with the speed, connectivity, and ease of setup.

Does what it is supposed to. Easy to setup and manage. Not a lot of features from a L2 perspective (but then again IO just needed a basic layer 2 switch)

Works great! Easy to use. Plug and play. Using with multiple VOIP phones.

Very easy to use. Simply plug and play. Great performance. I get full Gigabit speeds on my network between devices. Trustworthy brand. Would buy it again.

Great switch! Power cord was a little short for my liking, but worked well in an extension. Software was very intuitive, once I remembered to change my computers IP address to the same subnet as the switch that is. All in all great switch and very affordable.

I have had this switch for one month. You can use as plug-n-play or tweak the settings. No issues.
