This is a solid 5 port desktop switch. It is a nice compact metal case with two mounting holes on the bottom so it can be securely mounted on a wall, or even a desktop for that matter so it does not slide around. It comes with a power supply and little cloth stickers you can put on the bottom to prevent it from scratching up your nice desk top. :-) The unit has the standard lights on the front and are quite visible and there is a master power on light on the right side. This is a fanless unit so there is no concern for those of you who hate noise and I did not notice that the unit got terribly hot under load. I hooked 4 computers and a network printer to the device and did not notice and hiccups at all and file transfer of both small and large files were swift.

No hassle set up, metal shroud keeps the unit cool without a fan (the last one we had was poly and died due to overheating), easy to see working lights.

Well Newegg shipped this item very nicely as usual. Well packaged. Infact, Very nice packaging which the box itself says offers 247 support right on box packaging which makes me feel better about the product. Not alot of products have that. The Switch Sockets are so tight. Well, Perfect. They are actually made with a nice outer bracket. Usually on most routers and switches the sockets are pretty wiggly and loose or become loose over time.. These are absolutely sturdy. The light indicators above the sockets work really nicely and give a great amount of light off. They are also useful letting you know if the port has something plugged into it and if it's working. The rubber mounts on the bottom are really nice. Usually that little rubber pad comes off fairly easily however these don't seem like they will. Can also be mounted on a wall as it has screw/bolt/placement options on the bottom. It's extremely sturdy, small and compact. I was surprised to see this was a switch. I took a speed test without the switch plugged in just Modem - Router - X I had a ping of 12 ms, download of 24.64 mbps and a upload of 4.36 mbps with cable internet Then I plugged in the Switch so the network as follows: Modem - Router - Switch - X With this I had a ping of 12 ms and a download 24.71 mbps and upload of 4.33 mbps. So there was not much difference I think that 0.07 could of course been any number of factors depending on the day and network usage in area. Same with upload. I did some network transfers from computer to computer via switch. To transfer a HD movie from one computer to another on network a 12gb hd movie transfer was sitting around 11.4mb /sec steady - 11.7mb peak. Then a movie 650mb movie at 11.7mb/sec 12.0mb peak. Then without switch I did a 12gb hd movie which transferred at 12.7mb/sec steady - 13mb/sec peak. Then a 600mb movie transfer went 13.5mb/sec - 14mb/sec peak. So I lost about 1-3mb/sec with the switch on. Which isn't bad considering I've seen them take 10/sec or more. Another good thing.. I did not have to restart Computer 1 however did have to restart the other. It had auto detection and picked up right away. There was no installation as I plugged computer 1 into the switch the internet icon showed internet almost instantly. There is no cd needed. Stays relatively cool which is nice because my router and modem get pretty warm after days and days of use.

Quick plug and play installation. No problems so far.

UniFi compatible and suited to the kinds of awful environmental conditions the old Ubiquiti Tough Switch Pro was perfect for. Being managed by UniFi rather than UISP simplifies the network, so it's GREAT to have this niche filled. Surprisingly useful to have more ports, didn't know we needed them until we had the option.




Easy set up, easy install,

Simple to use and small so it's easy to hide.


Fast performance and PoE+/++ out of the box! Small footprint and overall a performance beast for my network

Simple Plug and play. I have one switch that is not compatible with other equipment in my home network. The Netgear works flawlessly with all parts of my network. Yes, Faster is better and 8 ports of faster is always better




The switch has a very heavy and quality feel to it. POE+ works great with my cameras, and wireless access points.

Works as advertized. Good construction. "Wall Wart" in compact (small).

-Whisper quite -Many Features -Web GUI or phone app to manage it -You have to know what your doing or at least read the manual.
