Gigabit 8 is great
When I upgraded my Verizon Fios Internet speed to Gigabit, I was employing a NetGear Fast which, of course, was not designed for Gigabit speed. Once I realized I would benefit from a Gigabit Switch, I decided on another NetGear as the one used has never failed me. Once, I made the change, suddenly the speed was demonstrated with Verizon's Broadband speed test. and my iMac's Down and Up speeds reflected the speed increase and my iOS devices as well. Easy to install, trouble-free. There were a lot of choices for a Gigabit Ethernet switcher, but I stayed with NetGear based on my experience of real time experience with their products.

Plug and Play?
Pllug and Play is one thing...Plug and ENJOY is quite another. I receive the Netgear GS308-300 PAS and in under 5 minutes had it up and running. I was able to move the entire home network off of WiFi, increase speed, and utilize the Gigabit service I had upgraded to..but never saw it's full potential. I've used Netgear equipment for many years professionally, yet never considered it for home use. A small investment that is already paying for itself with many more smiles and near zero grimaces as video streaming is now possible. WINNER!

Excellent for home office
For security reasons I am not allowed to use wireless equipment at my home office. When I brought in a second computer to do some additional work, I discovered that my router didn't have enough ports, so I ordered the Netgear 8-port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS308v3). It's compact, inexpensive, easy to install, easy to set up and very powerful. I gives me the ability to wire all the devices I need to have on the same network, and the peace of mind to know it's going to be there for me.

Reliable. Works as expected. The only downside was the startup instructions, which insisted that you download their Insight app to manage their equipment. Why would you ask to download an app to manage equipment when it doesn't work on it? The answer is probably is it is a) easier than figuring out which equipment can use it, b) to improve download numbers or c) data miner. I'd like to believe that is the first two, but this is 2020 so the last one would definitely be on point.

What's not to like about this 8-port switch, each port capable of 1 Gb/s, especially at its attractive price point? Zero configuration: any port any device, upstream device on any port, no worry about cross-over cables, just plug and play. Too, MS Windows networking capabilities have evolved to the point where your PC will find and use a printer located on this switch with no user involvement. Ditto Apple iOS, at least for my iPad (I do not use a MAC computer). Highly recommended.
