NETGEAR 8-Port 2.5G Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Network Switch (MS308) | With 8 x 2.5Gbps Ports, Desktop or Wall Mount, Metal Case

Very happy with this switch. It has the solid quality you’d expect from a major brand like NETGEAR. Setup was simple, performance has been stable, and I haven’t had a single issue since installing it. It also looks surprisingly sleek and premium, even though mine is hidden away inside a structured media panel most of the time. Overall, definitely a purchase I’m happy with.

Easy setup, stable,consistent speed with zero errors. Connection is a breeze. The extra ports come in handy for future use. Great price.

For home use, I love the simplicity, reliability and performance of unmanaged switches. I recently upgraded my residence Internet service from 1Gbps highly-oversubscribed cable to symmetric 2Gbps XG-PON. This was the perfect time to upgrade from my old (but functional) 1Gbps TP-Link 8 port switch to a newer 2.5Gbps switch. The NETGEAR was literally plug and play - all my existing CAT5E cables work well with their 1Gbps downstream devices, and I did upgrade the upstream link to the eero Pro 7 router to use CAT6A to realize the full 2.3G symmetric service. Well done NETGEAR - great value, totally quiet, well-constructed and easy to install.

Works great! Allowed me to backhaul one Eero Pro 7 to another Eero Pro 7 to use as a hub MUCH faster than doing so over Wi-Fi. Plug & play - afford me a reasonable amount of ports vs the 1 that T-mobile/Eero feels is appropriate. Works flawlessly with my routers, pc, laptop, ps5, Hue bridge, and a couple other smart home hubs.

Quiet, compact and fast. I have done multi-TB file transfers over it and it handles it like a champ. Only criticism is that the link lights are a little bright for where I have it - in my entertainment center - but otherwise it’s a decent little switch.

Currently there are not a lot of options for unmanaged 2.5g switches from US companies. Netgear fills this void with a very solidly built switch. It really is plug and play and works straight out of the box. No problems and I love the metal feel of the device. I can tell it’s made with quality.

See the subject line. Their switches work fine. This one is expensive. Needed for my 2gbps cable service.

Want a real review? Tried of AI slop? Here it is, I bought this because my new fiber internet modem only has 1 output port. Ease of setup: 10/10 (Plug in network, plug computers to switch, gg you are done) Port capacity: 8/10, (great for the average techie but not someone who's running tons of servers.) Value for money: 10/10 (Cheapest 2.5gb Plus on all ports, network switch I could find that was not a cheap offbrand)

Un petit achat suite à l'Achat d'un nouveau routeur avec 4 sorties de 2.5G. J'ai pu diviser une sortie de mon routeur pour avoir un total de 2.5 qui peut entrer dans le routeur.
