setup was a snap, very easy to navigate, the only con was that the supplied software was a trial version for 7days then you could purchase for 29.95 and up, other wise great product all around.

This switch does everything advertised and has not had any problems since instlled. I have not had to reset my modem, router, or switch since installing it a month ago. My entire nework came back up after a recent power outage with no problems. I would highly reccomend this switch that I am using along side a same brand wireless router.

Unboxed unit and plugged it in running for a month no issues. Good for workgroup use.

The subject says it all. When I got the switch it was bad. I contacted Netgear for a replacement but all their options are $20 in shipping before or after you get the switch. For a 30 dollar switch I have to pay an extra 20. This is my last Netgear product. Hello DLink and Juniper.

No problems after 1 month. Works great! Good Value.

Does exactly what it says it will do - simple installation, simple operation, and no problems after a month of operation.

This is my second purchase of the same switch due to expansion of my home office network. I was given fast service, setup was a snap and I like the color-coded lights to indicate 100 or gigabit speed. I've had no problems at all with either of these switches. Great product for a wonderful price!

Don't waste your time and money. The warranty is worthless. We had an AC Adapter for one of these units that was DOA right out of the box. After wasting 2 hours talking to their New Delhi warranty crew (1.5 hours on hold), they wanted us to ship the Adapter back before they would replace it. It costs more to ship the adapter back than it's worth and the fact the Adapter was defective to begin with indicates very poor quality control. This is not the first time we've had warranty issues with Netgear equipment and we've noticed a growing failure rate. We'll be switching to a different manufacturer.

This product is small and as a switch should be is very easy to install. The orange indicator light for 100mbps and the green light for 1.0gbps makes it very easy to diagnosis whether you are connected gigabit or not. I did have trouble getting gigabit speed on an Intel pro/1000 but found out that it was my cat5 cable preventing gigabit speed. Make sure you use at least cat5e with any cards that won’t connect gigabit. If possible use cat6 but that is about twice as much as cat5e. Overall an excellent product. Was ordered on the 29 and received it the next day. Thanks Tigerdirect

I like it but on the actual device itself it says ''activity lights are green at 100mbps'' but they are yellow for me at 100. So to have them green it would need to be connected to another gigabit device? I thought yellow was only for 10mbps.

Man...this product is awesome. Stylish finish at an affordable price. I have a gigabit network at my house and this piece is an extention for my family room entertainment center. It flashed orange with 10/100 mbps on my PS2 and flashed green with 1k mbps on my gigabit mobo. Great product!! Highly Recommended!

Highly recommend. I bought two of these from TigerDirect and they work great! Auto speed and auto cable type sensing, functions great and looking cool. Great reliable Netgear brand for oh so reasonable price! Pair it up with Trendware or Netgear gigabit card and you got whopping increase in your LAN speed! Only way to go if you transfer files or play game locally.

The switch works great and looks even better. The front LED lights are in the shape of numbers 1 thru 5. They light yellow for a 10/100 device and green for a 1000 to let you know what speed each device is connected at. Great product! Im very happy with mine and will consider Netgear in the future.
