Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got this on sale which is why I justified getting this upgrade. I was having packet loss issues while using my Xbox One S /PS4 Pro (both wired connection) so I decided to change my router and use this switch to eliminate packet losses. I no longer have a packet loss issue but I wouldn't recommend this at the MSRP.

Switch us high quality. Plug and play. No setup needed.

Made my wired connections fly! Very fast and super easy to setup

First off, it's heavy, so dissipates heat nicely. But most important, this is a smart switch. You log on to its IP Address and from there you can prioritize which port you need the fastest bandwidth and which ports don't. Last, the S8000 looks nice too!

I paired this switch with my Nighthawk R700 router to hardwire my gaming devices in the front room to the router in my office. It works flawlessly and does exactly what I want it to do, which is connect multiple gaming systems with reduced latency to the internet to play online games. Plus, I have no worries about WiFi range.

Easy set up gave me 7 more connections also looks good

Extremely fast switch. Needed to split line coming into room to 3 different accessories. Cable box and camera system would chug and pixelate with other switches. This switch instantly corrected those issues and improved the overall quality of both electronics.

This switch did everything except connect the cables for me. It works well and I believe increased my speed on a few devices.

Very reliable. Set up was a breeze. Worth the money.

I love this switch. It replaced a different unmanaged 5-port switch, as I needed a couple more ports. I have a PS4 Pro, 4 streaming devices, a PC utilizing the link aggregation feature, and a wireless access point hooked up and everything is perfect. If you're looking and have a similar setup to mine, or at least a few different devices, I would highly recommend this switch. Remember, for the switch to be really useful, you need every device you use hooked up to it, or it could be almost pointless over a cheaper switch. I had bad experiences with Nighthawk routers in the past, so I was hoping they could do a better job with a switch, and they did. I didn't even know it existed until browsing around one day in Best Buy and I'm so happy that I noticed it.

Set up is a pain but once you’re past it. Works great for multiple gaming systems n streaming 4K content.

Great price on the gaming switch. Works very well. No problems. Helped to eliminate lag on the computers for gaming.

Pick this up with Netgear XR500, plenty of port for your hardwire equipment, gaming, steaming items. I have not been able to set up the switch I order to get the full benifits due to my MacBook bonjour issues, going to use to windows today after work. I have gotten great speeds from the switch

I have used several manages switches. This unit works GREAT !!!! Easy to manage and setup. I needed a fast switch for all my security cameras and this beast does it with out looking back. I would defiantly recommend this unit to anyone serious in their wired network speeds.

good switch, it is what I expected and it doesn't throttle down the speeds coming from my r9000

1) Looks really cool, one of the reasons I bought it. 2) Setup and hookup was easy and since has worked without any issues. 3) I have used it to both stream and connect gaming devices, have not seen any lags, buffering, or any connectivity related issues so far.

This has been a great product. This product has met all of my expectations. Highly recommend.

Have mine attached to my router to add additional ports. QoS is big feature and works well.

The NETGEAR - Nighthawk S8000 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Gaming & Streaming Switch seems to perform well. The shape of the unit prevents it from having anything placed on top of it and rather insures that it's placed on the top of any stacked electronics.

This switch is fed by a cat 6 internet cable and it goes out to a Playstation a large screen TV and a home theater entertainment center there is no lag and there hasn't been any problems with this device plus it looks very cool and lights up and very modern.
