This works great as I expected.

Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2024

Style: 8 PortVerified Purchase

I had a 5 port FS105 model that after almost seven years decided to freeze every few weeks. Kind of a nuisance. But after almost seven years I can't complain. I wanted a few extra ports and I wanted Gb speed, too. So I bought this for the same price as I paid for the old 5 port 10/100 model. Crazy.

The GS308 is unmanaged which is a "why would I need to managed switch/hub" question that I've yet to find an answer for. There are similar models that cost more, the GS108 for example. But other than the warranty and the extra lights on each port to tell you the connected device speed, I went cheap.
I don't spend much time looking at the pretty lights blinking on my switches. Because I'd have to lay on the floor under my desk. :)

i replaced both switches and several cables. I bought CAT 8 cables, overkill but "future proof!" so I'm good for a long long time. The LAN /is/ "snappier" with 10/100/1000 switches and CAT8 cables.

In my experience, Netgear makes good stuff that lasts a long time.

Great build quality and easy to set up. Doesn't require any configuration to get started, just plug it in and go. Of course, some configuration is available via web browser if desired.

I'm using this to connect the various living room equipment to the router via MoCA network. I couldn't be happier with the results.

Bought this to replace another Netgear switch as I wanted ports with better bandwidth. Simple to install, literally just plug in and off you go.

The thing I would point out is for anyone ordering outside USA, the plug is a US plug and mine didn't like the adapter for a UK socket, the plug failed. I have replaced this with a suitable UK plug (Output: DC 12V 1A) and it is running without issue. Would buy again.
