Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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

Almost too light

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.

My plans were to hook this up to two computers and two Dish receivers and then leave to hook ups in other rooms for lap tops if needed. so far it has worked out great. My next step is to add video com. so my parents can see their grandaughter, I hope it will work. Wish me luck.

This is my third GS608 switch. I run two of them on my home network. This one is a replacement to the oldest switch. The old switch was running very slow and hot, so I retired it after about 3 years of service. These switches perform fine for my Cat-6 network and you can't beat the price.

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.

The only minor issue is that, rather than a native UK power supply unit, it came with a two prong PSU and a converter so it could be used in a UK socket. This works fine, but is rather bulky. That said, the device is working just fine.

This is one of the best switch i have ever used in my office

Sleek, low profile, low heat, all 8 ports Gigabit Doesn't have adequate weight to even hold itself flat against a desk if the cables are pulling down more than the edge. You can't go wrong with these desktop switches, I bought two for household and I have a *very* information intensive home network.

Didn't have a single problem with it, just plugged bunch of cables and that was it. Forgot about it. After a year different issues stared to happen to my network. I believed it was Virgin.

Small; same design as my router

failed after 13 months; not possible to nicely stack up with router

This netgear switch has great build quality. The front has large illuminated number indicators to show activity. It is easy to read even from some distance. It shows green for 1000 MBps connect and orange for 10 Mbps connect.
