Nice, inexpensive gigabit switch
Compared to other inexpensive 5-port and 8-port gigabit ethernet switches out there, this one looks great, and has a small, light and energy-efficient switching-mode power supply (a nice touch). It is trivial to set up (it's an unmanaged switch... there's nothing to configure).

works fine unless loaded
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
Pros:
- works great with good transer speeds when using gigabit devices
- Can be mounted on a wall or upright in 2 different ways
Cons:
- 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

This item slows the network
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.

Good Value
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.

Netgear - GS608 - 8-Port Gigabit Network Switch
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.

Does what it's supposed to do. Reliable and bone-simple to install in your network.
It does what it's supposed to do. I've bought several and none have so much as burped. Styling is attractive enough. I like the Netgear brand and this item does not disappoint.

Disappointed
I was real excited when I purchased this modem router, I thought I got a good one. I do like a lot of the features in the software program that came with it. It shows all the things that are connected and you can name them.

Great item. I bit small
Great item. I bit small than the one I've used for ten years. Works just as well.
