Excellent switch for the price. Bought first one a year ago to replace an HP 10/100 switch. Runs a pretty heavy load on a SQL database with no problems. I was a little concerned about quality for low price at first. Not now. Getting another one today.


Have three of these switches - all seem to be perfectly stable (in service about a year and a half now), and Netgear seems to do a decent job keeping up with firmware updates for it (have fixed a couple of critical security vulnerabilities and at least currently my Greenbone Security Assistant setup is happy with them). Dual firmware image slots, and the ability to use it totally offline with no cloud garbage enabled, SSH access, and even the web interface is decently speedy. It's pretty much all you can ask for in a small, passively cooled, smart gigabit switch.

It connects super easily just plug and play


-Worked right-away without any issues. -No conflicts with new AT&T Uverse Arris modem -Good quality (metal construction) -Downloads seem to be slightly faster -4 rubber feet -Lights in the front that show activity -Affordable


Compact size, low heat, low energy consumption, feature set, so much capability to learn about.

Easy installation. It is a "smart" switch and can provide basic information on port status and VLAN configuration.








Everything about this thing worked first try. Any port I have plugged things into, it has worked with zero hassle. My mac works with it, with sound, microphone, extra USB ports. My two older windows boxes work, same thing.
