Very Happy with purchase

"This was very easy to setup. It replaced an older 5 port 10/100 hub in about 5 minutes. I like having a vertical footprint option, though I am not using it that way currently (must not forget where I've stored the feet) I like the clean look, so it's sitting on top of the desk and that way I can monitor the link/speed lights. Only issue is lack not a clear indication of port speed - 10 vs. 100 vs.1000. Manual i..." Read Full Review »

Not Very Pleased

"Four of the five ports went out within three days. We use an all-gigabit network and I thought this would be a lightweight portable switch for connecting multiple workstations in a single outlet room. I realize that these are low-end but I expected it to last at least a year, not just three days. It looked nice on a desk and if the thing would have just worked I would have loved it. The speeds were great befo..." Read Full Review »

"I purchased this product about a year ago. Plugged it in to the network and connected 2 PCs and 2 Macs. No configuration needed. So far, no complaints. It was up and running in a few minutes. The switch has been running non-stop 24/7 without a glitch. I do a lot of multimedia and video streaming at …"  Read Full Review »

"Don't waste your time and money. The warranty is worthless. We had an AC Adapter for one of these units that was DOA right out of the box. After wasting 2 hours talking to their New Delhi warranty crew (1.5 hours on hold), they wanted us to ship the Adapter back before they would replace it. It …"  Read Full Review »

"This product is small and as a switch should be is very easy to install. The orange indicator light for 100mbps and the green light for 1.0gbps makes it very easy to diagnosis whether you are connected gigabit or not. I did have trouble getting gigabit speed on an Intel pro/1000 but found out that …"  Read Full Review »

"The subject says it all. When I got the switch it was bad. I contacted Netgear for a replacement but all their options are $20 in shipping before or after you get the switch. For a 30 dollar switch I have to pay an extra 20. This is my last Netgear product. Hello DLink and Juniper. "
