NETGEAR 5 Port Gigabit Network Switch (GS305) | Unmanaged Ethernet Switch | Ethernet Splitter | Silent Operation | Desktop or Wall Mount

An excellent mid range Ethernet switch. Works extremely well and has no issues managing my home network without any loss of signal. I’m by no means a computer or network wizard so can’t go through all the packet and data loss malarkey but I can honestly say, having just branched out and set up a home network, I simply plugged this in, connected the router and a few devices to the switch along with all the patch cables going to sockets and it worked perfectly. Very simple to set up, comes with screws and raul plugs for wall mounting or can be desktop set if required. More than happy with the product and the price is very reasonable in my opinion.

Easy set up works great and at a great price. Would recommend for home networking

Excellent now one year on. Used in the shed are working all the time

A great switch, child’s play to install. My only gripe is the power socket is on the other side of the Ethernet connections. In my opinion the earlier design was better where the power socket was on the same side as the Ethernet connections.

Well built and good performance, worth thw extra cost

It’s a un managed network switch that performs perfectly. Delivered on time, well packaged. The product box protects the item well and the network switch is well manufactured

I needed a switch to expand the amount of devices I have hardwired in my home network and this has been perfect for what I needed. It’s small, made of metal and feels extremely robust. The package comes with the unit and the power supply only so no cables included on this one. I’ve got this plugged in with my router sitting on top and have had no issues so far with heat or interference. There is no heat being transferred through the case and I feel very comfortable with it being plugged in all the time. For installation, this is a plug and play device which requires no management. Plug a cat6 cable into one port on the device and the other end into a free port on the router and then lead your other devices into any of the other ports. It’s worth noting that if you’re buying this switch and have gigabit Ethernet, you will need at least Cat6 cables to get the highest speeds. The size isn’t much bigger than a ps5 game game and comes in a nice black/blue colour. Overall I’m very happy with this and have seen zero issues so far and will update this review again if this changes. Definitely recommend for the price!

I have a room where I have an ethernet wall socket and devices that connect to it, but I have more devices than ethernet ports to connect to. This network switch let me expand the amount of ethernet ports available to me in that room without much hassle. It was a simple, plug and play set up. Simply plug in the ethernet coming from the router to the switch in port 1 and port 2 to 5 can be used to plug in my devices. The network switch is cheap, quiet, and fits neatly behind a cabinet.

Para ampliar mi red

Ho acquistato il modello GS324 per centralizzare tutte le connessioni Ethernet di casa. Nella confezione sono inclusi i supporti per il montaggio a rack (le "alette"), ma ha anche dei piedini in gomma se si preferisce appoggiarlo su un ripiano. Le luci LED sulle porte sono molto chiare per monitorare lo stato della connessione e la velocità. È un prodotto "imposta e dimentica": una volta acceso, gestisce il traffico in modo intelligente e senza mai un crash. Rapporto qualità-prezzo eccellente per uno switch a 24 porte di questa categoria.

Perfecte molt correcte

Despite that I bought this item via amazon.SE inside EU, it came with incompatible AC plug(I guess UK variant). Therefore I cannot use it. I think that it violates the Low Voltage Directive or alike.

Switch efficace et fiable, parfaitement adapté à un usage domestique avancé ou professionnel. Le boîtier métallique inspire confiance et la qualité de fabrication est très bonne. Les équerres de rack sont fournies, ainsi que la visserie nécessaire, ce qui permet une installation simple en baie ou en rack sans achat complémentaire. Fonctionnement totalement silencieux grâce à l’absence de ventilateur, tout en conservant une bonne stabilité réseau. Aucun problème constaté à l’usage. Un produit de qualité, robuste et pratique, qui remplit parfaitement son rôle.
