Works flawlessly

This gigabit switch has worked flawlessly from the moment I plugged it in, and I have not had a glitch since. Very solidly built, great performance and compact compared to it's plastic competitors.

Still the best cheap desktop switches

Netgear's line of metal switches and hubs has always been an affordable, dependable product. I am glad to see that they haven't abandoned this format in favor of the plastic so many other companies are using.

I bought a couple of these for work when a group decided they needed to cram three conference rooms full of people on short notice. Netgear was the only product I trusted to work, and they didn't let me down.

Good switch for the price. Auto sensing works well. seems fast enough and easy to use. This is not a smart switch so you will not be able to monitor activity. Connections are in the front, back connections would have been better to hide the wiring. You may hear a slight high pitched noise when plugged in. Good value for a consumer product. Commercial applications should consider other higher end switches.

FYI: This is more compact than the picture atop its page indicates

This switch is barely larger than its 5 ports require, without the 2 inches of wasted space indicated by the photo at the top of its description. The second photo, lower in the page is accurate.

Personally, I'm thrilled to have both it and its power brick so small, and like the durable metal case.

Ideal use for this device is a location with only one wired Ethernet RJ45 jack, and needing to plug in 2+ Ethernet devices at that location. We used to stock its Fast-Ethernet predecessor like popcorn for such uses, and even in my home I already have 2, with a third on order.

Update: I expect thanks are due to Amazon. I'd earlier updated this entry to report Netgear was refusing to honor a rebate on this product because I'd bought it from a non-participating dealer. But I recently got a corrected notice from Netgear, reporting the rebate will now be paid. Thanks Amazon!

Works as designed

In short, does what it says in the review. I have 10, 100 and 1000 megabit devices attached and they all work flawlessly without any discernible issues.

The power supply is pretty small. although the unit does get quite warm to the touch.

In short, great price for a simple and no-frills Gigabit ethernet device.
