Pros & Cons
Pros
Netgear is one of my go-to products when it comes to networking. The switch seamlessly integrates into my system without taking up extra room. They are fast and seem durable and reliable.
The value for money offered by the netgear gs308 is simply exceptional. Mounting options for wall or shelf are easy to implement. The switch i was using in my living room is a pos asus.
Netgear 8-port gigabit ethernet unmanaged switch (gs308) is wonderful. The 16 port switch sits next to my cable modem. It plugs into a local 8 port switch for tv components.
Cons
Only replaced for better functionality, should have stayed with tp-link. You can not connect this switch to a router and in turn expect that the then connected devices will have internet access. It’s a sad day when wireless outperforms wired.
That multiplies the cost of the switch many, many times. Just another company like hp doing their best to squeeze every last dime from their loyal customers.
I naively thought that netgear will just replace it, the warranty is 5 years, so what's the problem, right? Your product is covered under hardware warranty till 2025-01-29. They wouldn't tell me if it was new or refurbished.
Highlights
Quality
These devices are extremely well built silent and reliable
My livelihood depends on quality running tech
I had a 5 port fs105 model that after almost seven years decided to freeze every few weeks
It doesnt have any management capabilities or user interface just plug your devices in and go
Price
Super nice for the money and just what i needed
This netgear gs308 8port gigabit ethernet switch is a fantastic network switch at a great price
The price tag is five times cheaper than what i paid for my original 20 years ago
Price for hubs have dramatically decreased over the years
Shipping
I ordered it on wednesday before thanksgiving and i was delivered thursday thanksgiving in the early morning
Competitiveness
The reason i gave it a 4 is that i had to buy it to replace another netgear switch smaller model that went bad
There are similar models that cost more the gs108 for example
I replaced a different brand with this one as a precaution as my other was quite old
