first one showed up dead

No real magic to this product. Does what its supposed to it ... be an unmanaged switch.

I held back a couple of stars because the first one showed up dead i.e. had the well documented Netgear blinking lights of death syndrome. Excellent service by Amazon and the replacement has been working well for a few months now.

Works great, nice little item when you need to share offices

Our company is growing by leaps and bounds to the point that we have several offices that are being shared. When the offices were built there was only a single data port going to each, so rather than hire someone to come in and pull new wire to each of the offices, I instead used these to share the office single dataport.

They work great, and I have had no problems.

Works well

I have had no trouble with this switch. Other reviews suggested some major issues, especially when using two together. I think that maybe there were runs of defective products, or people with miswired networks? Not sure. Have had no issues, does not run hot, even after transferring large (gigabytes) amounts of data, still fairly cool to the touch.

Switch vs. Hub

I had a 5-port HUB (using 3 of them) across the room from my main system. When transferring files I got a steady stream of collisions. Really slowed down the transfer due to all the retransmissions.

The SWITCH was truly Plug & Play. Plugged everything in and it worked. It did all the address look-up and handshaking without human involvement. File transfers now run at full speed with no collisions.

Highly recommended.

Simple, dependable switch. No mess, no fuss.

For years and years Netgear has been producing a line of metal enclosed unmanaged (read no need to mess around with configuration) network switches. This line of metal enclosed Netgear switches have a proven track record -- I've used a dozen of them over the years without encountering any problems.

This 5-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch continues this flawless track record. I picked up two of these 5-port switches to ensure that my newly wired-for-Gigabit house maintains Gigabit speed on my internal wired network, only dropping to 100Mb/s Ethernet when network traffic crosses onto my router and then upstream to my DSL modem and beyond.

The Switch is small and light enough to be stashed out of the way attached to the side of a desk with the included mounting screws. The switch has two keyholes cut in the base of the unit. If you carefully position the two included screws in a vertical or horizontal surface (to mount on the underside of a table) then the switch will slide onto the screws to securely hang the switch.
