There's not much really to say about this product, it works exactly as it should really. The Netgear GS08 is a great choice to add some extra ports to your home network inexpensively.

Silent; Easy to setup and use; Inexpensive

None really

Looking for an easy-to-use, stylish, and affordable gigabit Ethernet network switch? Look no further than the Netgear GS608 8-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch.

I have this connected to my main gaming PC, home server and TiVo. Should be fine if you are not transferring large files often but if you are I would get a metal chasis switch which will help reduce overheating

works great with good transer speeds when using gigabit devices; Can be mounted on a wall or upright in 2 different ways

every few months this switch locks up and stops working; I suspect the device is overheating as it will work again if you switch it off for a few minutes

Contrary to one of the other reviews, this is a switch, not a router. I have had mine for a while (longer then the warranty) and have had at least one port go bad. Others seem to continue to work. I have both 1GB and 10/100 devices connected.

1GB

1 port failed

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Easy To Set Up; Fast; Reliable; Very small and sleek

Almost too light

I bought two of these for home a while ago. I've since purchased three for my offioe. They fast smart switches for an incredible price. This is a good deal.

Fast Fast Fast; and cheap

None so far

This item is faulty and runs very slow. It doesn't even go 10Mb let alone 1 Gb. No wonder Netgear no longer sells it.

If you are searching for a switch that works with the PS3 and doesn't block UPnP this is the bit of kit you need.

This switch has been a great addition to my network . It allows for fast transfer sppeds and i have been using for over 3 months now with no problems. Unluckily it is not wall mountable which would have been useful, but it comes with some legs which can be used to stand it on its side.

Sleek; small; easy to use

Not wall mountable

one of the best networking switch i have used just plugged it in and that was it evrything just works my printer network hard disk my wireless media sharing centre.
