A solid unmanaged switch. I will be investing in a managed switch soon, but this thing is fast and so far, very reliable (>3 months use). If you need more ports and aren't worries about segregating your network, the unmanaged switch is perfect. If your building servers, having a managed switch gives additional control over the security side of things. The product's hardware and software offer prestigious network bandwidth and work without interruption. {I guess I mean interruption that is perceivable to a human ;) }

It’s a 8 port unmanaged switch. Plug it in and let her play. Solid metal construction. Side note when it was delivered it was right after the newest switch console released. I told my daughter there’s a new switch on the front porch and I needed her to grab it, all excited she skips over and picks it up and couldn’t wait to open it. After opening it she was not as impressed as I was. Anyways. 8 port switch, does what it do, solid performance. I’d give it another star but my daughter was mad it didn’t come with Joy-Cons so 5 stars it is.

Compact, well-made, excellent performance. Great price to value ratio. Would buy again, in a heartbeat.

NETGEAR 8-Port Unmanaged Switch - GS308 is a great little switch if you just need to split one Ethernet line into 7 or less more lines (one port is for the incoming line to be split). But that's it, just that simple, plug in one Ethernet line from your source (home cable modem in my case) into additional lines to feed additional routers and that is about it. Simple, quick, and easy to install, just plug and play, lol. Mine runs 24/7/365 and NEVER gets warm much less hot, never stops working, lights keep blinking to let you know it's still working, well the power light stays on steady, but the data lines blink with a wink to let me know I can depend on them, no worries. However, NO software which is actually a good thing if you just want a simple splitter with zero ability to manage or control what gets fed to what, when, how, etc. At first that was all I needed, now I need more and find myself upgrading again. I started with a 5-port switch that had 1 input port with 4 output ports, and no management software. I expanded and needed more so I bought an 8-port which added 3 more ports, nothing more, nothing less. Now I need to be able to manage some of my ports so I will be getting another NETGEAR 8-Port Switch with options for management from my desktop, laptop, smartphone, etc. and a little security built-in among other things which I find more necessary every day. I will be sticking with NETGEAR for the solid construction and long life reliability of their products. I will leave a review for whichever model ends up running with my system so I can speak to their software and management solutions. This is only for my home networking solution and served me well, so no need to change brands, just a little more money for more features that the next models up the NETGEAR line have to offer. It will be either the GS308T (simple managed switch version) or maybe for a few dollars more (what a great name for a movie) do a little future proofing with a GS308P or GS108PE-300NAS if I don't breakdown and spend even more for extra security, but then it gets more complicated with the software and I like keeping things as simple as possible while serving my actual needs. NETGEAR has never let me down and you definitely get what you pay for over TP-Link (NEVER AGAIN) for example. Stick with what works, brands you know and know they stand behind their products. You cannot go wrong with NETGEAR unless you get a model without enough ports or without port management if you need it, otherwise this model will serve you well. NETGEAR switches with their metal cases are far superior to the ones with the cheap plastic cases which can and do break as well as overheat in my personal experience.

It’s an unmanaged gigabit switch in a metal case. Typical NETGEAR quality. Not much else you can say. It just works.

My expectations for the NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS308) as a home network hub and workplace Ethernet splitter have been far surpassed. I tried a different product after using the prior switch from a different manufacturer for four years, which sadly failed after just two months. At that time, I discovered the NETGEAR GS308, and I couldn't be more pleased with my decision.First and foremost, this switch is incredibly reliable. I can state with confidence that after using it for a while, it has consistently and steadily handled my devices while maintaining a network connection. I had no trouble setting it up because of its plug-and-play functionality; I didn't have to deal with any difficult configurations or software installations.The GS308's quiet functioning is one of its most outstanding features. This switch doesn't make any noise at all, in contrast to some others that occasionally make annoying fan noises, which helps to maintain peace and quiet at my workspace.The switch's elegant, small shape also seamlessly integrates into my system without taking up extra room. I am confident that it will continue to operate dependably for many years to come because of its sturdy construction.The GS308 is a future-proof investment because it has the most recent upgrades as well. It has shown outstanding interoperability with contemporary devices and allows high-speed data transfers, making it the best choice for tasks requiring a lot of data.The value for money offered by the NETGEAR GS308 is simply exceptional. It is an affordable and useful option for both home and workplace use due to its fair price and great performance.The NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS308) is wonderful, and I am very happy with it. It has exceeded my expectations by proving to be a dependable, effective, and silent network hub. Finding this model has been a game-changer after a negative experience with a previous brand. Anyone in need of a high-quality, trustworthy Ethernet switch should definitely choose the GS308.

I use this for my home network. It has a manageable website that you can use to setup VLANs, port mirroring, and much more. It doesn't have as many features as the more expensive ones but it's great for a basic home network.

Bought this to replace another Netgear switch as I wanted ports with better bandwidth. Simple to install, literally just plug in and off you go.The thing I would point out is for anyone ordering outside USA, the plug is a US plug and mine didn't like the adapter for a UK socket, the plug failed. I have replaced this with a suitable UK plug (Output: DC 12V 1A) and it is running without issue. Would buy again.
