Its just a solid 8 port switch

Got the 16-port switch and works flawlessly

When I brought in a second computer to do some additional work, I discovered that my router didn't have enough ports, so I ordered the Netgear 8-port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS308v3)

This item is being used to increase the number of available ports on a modem/router and works as described, easy to setup, shipping was fast.

I initially thought 16 ports was overkill but, by the time I was done, there's only one free connection.

I have our primary router, and an old one that I've wanted to use as an access point, but I just didn't have the available ports on the primary router

Solid 8 port switch at great price!

They both had two dead ports

Used this to replace a 5 port switch with this 8 port - works great, easy to install.

This is just a straightforward 8-port unmanaged switch that does one thing very well: split a network signal into 10/100/1000 ports

Take out of the box, and plug in power and ports and your ready to go.

I had enough ports to hook everything up and some left over got my signal strength

The footprint of the 16 port is about the same as my 8 port, more compact.

It seems to work just fine as long as you leave the ports static and don't disconnect a laptop and move it to a different port on the same switch.

Worked great, now have enough ports!

Worked great, now have enough ports!

I bought one of the Netgear 16-port switches in July ’17, which worked until it failed in January ’19.

Then one port stopped working altogether.

I needed extra Ethernet ports to my router and this worked perfectly

Less than 8 months old and 3 ports go dead

Works well more ports than I need!

Sturdy chassis, standard RJ45 ports, etc.

I purchased a tester thinking it might be a cabling issue, but the testing confirmed both units had faulty ports.

Our port died and we needed one really quick

It replaces another Netgear switch that ports went bad only after a few years.

Lots of gigabit-capable ports, runs near silent and cool.

they work great and are a much better option than some other higher priced alternatives IMHO.This is a great unmanaged 48 port switch.

Remember you lose one port because you need one to connect to your router.

5 ports was just right for me.

The 8 port was cheaper then the 5 port at the time.
