Ideal unmanaged switch to provide more ethernet ports to a lacking Eero gateway.
Perfect way to get more ethernet ports for my Eero gateway which only has 2 available ports on it. Works exactly as expected and does not cost an arm and a leg.
- KLH5 ★
Superb craftsmanship, superb rate, and performs outstanding.
Simple, great, rugged build, and works just the way it was intended. I ran multiple speed tests and they all performed much better than the other network switches that I own. I was so pleased with it that I decided to purchase two more for my home. Great price, too. I recommend it.

Magnificent Little Switch - Reliable, Silent, and Effortless
I couldn't be happier with this NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch. Setup was truly plug-and-play - I had it out of the box and running in under two minutes with zero configuration needed.Performance has been rock-solid. All devices connect at full gigabit speeds, and I've noticed smoother streaming, faster file transfers, and more stable connections throughout my home network. It handles multiple devices without any slowdowns or dropped connections.One of my favorite features is how completely silent it is. No fan, no buzzing - it just works quietly in the background. The compact design is also a big plus. It fits neatly on my desk, and the wall-mount option is great for keeping things tidy.Build quality feels solid, and it runs cool even after being powered on continuously. For the price, this is an outstanding value and easily beats cheaper "no-name" switches in reliability.If you want a simple, dependable way to expand your wired network without headaches, this is it. Highly recommended for home offices, streaming setups, or anyone who wants fast, stable Ethernet connections without fuss.
