    Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2023
    Style: 5 Port with Enhanced FeaturesVerified Purchase
    We have a houseful, of electronics that require connections, and need reliable, fast response. Wired is still our method of choice - wifi is too glitchy and flaky for some of our needs so, we need switches. We have used many different brands of switches over the years, but wind up coming back to Netgear after every encounter with other brands. These little switches are small but sturdy - a perfect combo. The lights show at a glance what is working, and they are easy to install, and hold the cables securely. All electronics wear out, but the Netgear switches have lasted the best - we have at least 4 in use at all times - so it saves time AND money for us to buy switches that provide reliable, current standard connections to our multitude of devices. Very happy with these switches, we will buy the updated version when we next upgrade our systems.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good value, but with some issues
    Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2024
    Style: 5 Port with Enhanced FeaturesVerified Purchase
    I have two of these 5-port switches along with two of the 8-port variant G308E in my home network. I have 2 networks in the house and these switches allow me to have those networks share common cables so that I don't need to pull more cables through the walls. For the price, these switches work well and have now for almost 3 years. But, there are some issues:
    1) As others have reported the web-based interface for setting up the VLANs is confusing. Every time I go to change the configuration, which fortunately isn't often, I have to once again figure out the correct sequence in which to change the VLAN settings to make it work
    2) After significant up-time (measured in months), the web interface stops responding to connection attempts, even though the switch itself keeps working. It takes a power cycle of the switch to make it work again. I suspect there is a resource leak somewhere in the firmware code. This is a problem with both the 5 port and 8 port switches.
    3) As at least one other reviewer pointed out, and I have confirmed, the web interface for managing the switch is always available on all untagged ports regardless of the VLAN assigned to that port and there is nothing you can do about it. Which is a bit of a security risk that doesn't matter on home networks, but makes this switch unsuitable in higher security environments. Most purchasers at this price point shouldn't care.
    If you have a need to run VLANs, it is going to be hard to find a better switch at this price point, despite its minor flaws. If you don't need VLANs, you should be looking for different switch, specifically an unmanaged switch.

    This is easy to use and so far is working perfectly. It's also compact so won't take up a lot of room. You do need an electrical outlet nearby. Having a switch makes it simple to hardwire your house. I'm not a techy person so it took me a while to figure out how to do that but with this switch you can run an ethernet cord from the router to one area of the house and then have several ethernet cords coming out of it for use with computers, playstation, or whatever you need. We have bought two of these switches for our house and so far no complaints.

I just plugged this into a long cable, connected to the router, and my WiFi problems were solved. There was no set up or configuration necessary. Just plug in an ethernet cable and plug in the power supply. Yes, it does need power to operate.
