[7.4 to 4.9 µs] I bought 3 of them. I need a switch in the field for live streaming and NDI connectivity. Very reliable 5

[7.4 to 4.9 µs] I purchased this to replace/upgrade older Netgear network switches in my house. Setup was a breeze using the ProSafe pro and web interface. I have two of the 8-port switches as hubs and several of the 5-port as end units behind computers and entertainment systems. I flashed the firmware, the new switches immediately found all the others, and my entire network is gigabit and totally stable! Really REALLY fast also - I have fiber optic to the street and we can stream and game forever! Great job Netgear! 5

[1 MB] sing this multi-gig switch in my home network, which is 90% hardwired, including router-to-router (node) backhaul. The switch performs as expected, which is to say exceptionally well. On my 1Gbps ISP (coax cable) plan, I am pulling the maximum (overprovisioned) 1.2Gbps through this switch at the far end of the hardwired network, at the same average latency as the main router is enjoying between its WAN port and the ISP itself. (Zero additional lag at the end of the network.) Excellent Netgear quality, as expected. Cheers! 5

[Metal] Capable enough for a complex home network. With a VLAN capable router this switch serves as the root of other managed and unmanaged switches and direct drops. Separates Core, Guest, and IoT VLANs with space left over 5

[40 Gb/s ] Open the box, plug it in and it works. No muss, no fuss, no software or router configuration required. 5

[40 Gb/s ] Paired up with my 16 port switch, this helps prevent packet storms at the edge of my network. All good! 5

[90%] I had high expectations from my previous experiences with Netgear products, but this did nothing to tarnish that reputation. I plugged in the incoming feed from my fiber jack in my networking closet and can now connect my routers and other devices to my ethernet ports all around the house. The lights operate as described with left and right leds lighting when there is a connection and flashing for data transmission. I have gigabit internet and through my networking testing it appears to achieve the gigabit speeds that it claims. Overall, this is an excellent switch that I would definitely recommend to anyone in the market for this type of networking appliance. 5
