Higher top quality small five-port switch. Operates best! I have my wireless adapter connected to the switch to supply connectivity to a Television, DVR, and Blu-ray player. NO CONS!!!

It operates, out of the box. Solid construction. No plastic parts to snap off. Hyperlink and activity LEDs are easy to see. as far as I can tell, it doesn't perform any far better than the ű TrendNet switch, so price tag is a con i guess... But i like the looks of this a single superior... Also it can be mounted on the wall or even rack mounted with 1 or two screws. (but i don't know who would rack a five port switch...)

Effortless to use. Little. Functions properly with regional broadband service. Connected two of them to a netgear router. No difficulties at all. Nothing I can consider of... Some reviewers complained about energy chord not staying plugged in. I have not had this problem. I purchased two of them to increase my house wired network through my residence. If you are like me and dislike wireless, these devices work wonderful. Use 1 wired router and spot a single of these in each area in the residence off of the router.

This is a wonderful swtich. It is constructed like a tank. It is a seriously good size for a modest application. Plug it in and it performs. None With the rebate, this is a great deal on a wonderful item.

It works fantastic with my Linksys router. Extremely simple to hookup and I like that I was able to wall mount it out of the way. The power plug plugs in good and safe, it will not fallout. It is nicely built. none It was a great deal with a บ.00 rebate and cost-free shipping.

Comment:
Created with a small heavier metal / plastic than the less costly ones. Worked suitable out of th ebox, with no troubles. I down graded to this one particular from a 16 port Netgear simply because of the size. None at this time

Feels like it is built solid. Value was correct if the rebates come by means of. The item kept turning off. Finally determined it was the energy cable that would not keep connected. The plug when barely wiggled will come out. There is no way to shove it in farther, it is seated all the way. Immediately after trying on-line & by phone (many occasions) I finally found a way to reach a live person (see Other Comments). This person seemed to know exactly what I was speaking about, so it must be a challenge. She informed me that I could have a new power provide sent out but I would have to spend a 23 dollar shipping and handling fee. I could upgrade to subsequent day for three dollars a lot more. I only paid 15 (with rebate) for it to commence with. She suggested I could go to RS and buy a new energy supply for 15, novel thought and an fascinating comment from Tech Support but nonetheless totals 30 for a switch which I could have upgraded considerably for that price tag. I do not suggest this for other but I will modify the power cord end to seat deeper and see if that performs by cutting back the molded plastic finish. Purchase a different brand with actual consumer service that does not recoup its expenses in shipping and handling.To get by means of to the Tech Assistance, their phone menu program is all messed up and when I told the lady I got about it she agreed with me and stated she had passed it up the line numerous occasions. If you want to speak with a reside person right here is how I located to get via:Call 1-888-638-4327 and press 1 for “reseller of Netgear items” there will be a lengthy recorded message but at the finish it will say please remain on the line if you need technical help. And then it will ask for the solution you are calling about. Pick the proper solution and sit on hold for a while, but you will get a reside particular person and the particular person I got was excellent to speak with and gave fantastic assistance and was courteous just in the finish was of no help, read above. I told the lady that she had thoroughly convinced me to by no means ever by Netgear again and she understood my frustration, but her hands were tied.

Low cost, compact, uncomplicated to use, performs immediately, built strong, and in no way had a single fail. A inexpensive straightforward reliable way to split a network jack, or to add a couple ports to an existing router/switch setup. Tough to discover a expense-successful replacement energy adapter if you drop it. I've observed them, but mainly utilized, and with shipping the total cost hasn't produced sense more than just purchasing a whole new unit. Not much of an problem because that's inexpensive adequate... nevertheless I do have one of these sitting about uselessly lead to I lost its power adapter. It bugs me. Great for IT work, an necessary I try to generally preserve with me in my "toolkit". Desks typically only have a single ethernet jack, negative when you want to google from a laptop although diagnosing a broken Pc (unless they have wifi -- offices usually don't). Carrying one particular of these with me to jobs, I can usually split a wall jack to get a net connection for my netbook simultaneously, even though staying in front of the dilemma machine, with no possessing to swap a single net cable between the two PCs.Also good for migrating a user to a new Pc. I can location the new Pc right at the user's desk with a net connection and boot up, without touching the old machine, remote in to both new and old, sync them up (thank you LogMeIn), then the actual changeover is a speedy seamless move of video/mouse/keyboard wires to the new Pc. User has no down time, and the old Pc can keep there a even though in case of concerns with the new -- going back to the old is a comparable seamless cable switch and I can nevertheless remote in to both.

Compact, properly made, functions appropriate out of the box. Rebate card came rapidly also. None. Boy did this hit the spot. I mounted it on the back of a pc cart with 4 old computer systems on a KVM switch and voila - no more switching the CAT5 cable.

Endures the beatings of countless LAN parties and numerous computer systems operating downloads and uploads for weeks on end with out resetting the box. In contrast to the Linksuks that I have. Simple to trip on cables when stretched across the floor? Had 1 get messed up. (It was my LAN celebration and get thrown in the duffle bag switch.) 3 out of the 5 ports function on it so all is fantastic. The other nonetheless performs great. Fantastic stuff appropriate right here, tell you what.

Comment:
Operates good. Excellent obtain for the cost. NO Cons.

Comment:
Higher good quality as usual from Netgear. None This is not passive so be conscious you will need to have AC power.

Comment:
Unpacked it, plugged it in, plugged my router into it, got 4 additional ports. Couldn't be simpler. None. We had scads of these Netgear switches (and hubs) in the I.T. atmosphere exactly where I worked just before retirement March 2007. They have been difficult as tanks and no 1 ever read a user guide; they just worked, day and evening. I purchased this one particular when, regardless of following all directions and unsuccessful client support, I couldn't chain two Linksys routers. And NewEgg service has made me a addictive NewEgg buyer!

Yet to find out but currently ticked by the way the rebate was rejected... The most ridiculous MIR knowledge I ever had and I am usually extremely very good about these. The fact that I am actually taking the time to complain about not getting ฟ is a fantastic telltale. The instructions clearly stated in the BOLD LETTERS in the middle of the web page that the form had to be submitted by 07ቺቦ which I did and they acknowledged. What I failed to see that there was another catch buried way under with all seemingly useless info that it also had to be mailed within 30 days of acquire. Ironically, the initially rep at the rebate firm study it specifically the exact same way I did and believed that the rejection was in error. Submitting the type 39 days following buy (and 38 days immediately after it was shipped to me) triggered them to reject it based on the "late postmark". California residents require to look up California Civil Code Section 1770 (a)ྱ):(a)The following unfair approaches of competitors and unfair ordeceptive acts or practices undertaken by any person in atransaction intended to result or which final results in the sale or lease of goods or services to any consumer are unlawful:ྱ) Representing that the customer will acquire a rebate,discount, or other financial benefit, if the earning of the benefit is contingent on an event to take place subsequent to the consummation ofthe transaction.Netgear is a CA corporation (HQ's are in the Bay Region) yet their TX- primarily based MIR processors - Parago aka ProSafe Rebates - are indifferent to CA state laws. Per Anthony (employee ID # 554) who introduced himself as a supervisor and Alex (ID # 1159) who claimed to be a manager, they do not take into account state laws when they contradict their Firm POLICY.

Step 1. Get rid of from box.Step two. Plug in cablesStep 3. Use internet. There are couple of things that I acquire that perform Precisely as they say. This is 1 of them. None. The rebates are stupid and are a hassle. Technically this factor is ű.47 or some thing with a ฟ rebate, but it's a Visa gift card rebate and it'll take 90+ days to approach, and in all probability won't even come by means of.

Works flawlessly. When it very first arrived I had an issue with my PS3 connecting by means of switch. Speak to Netgear Tech assistance through e-mail. They essentially stated it was a PS3 dilemma. Solved the dilemma on my personal, but 1 star off for lack of tech assistance help.
