Love The GS Series of Devices
I have used the GS series of 8-port switches for years now and they have been outstanding in my home office network. I currently have 4 switches throughout the house and they work beautifully.
The ability to configure the GS308 series is a plus, as I can go in and give the device a static IP address and not have to worry about finding it with any other tools. The ability to set Vlans and other settings is also a plus.

Simple, straight forward and just works
pretty simple and straightforward. Just works right out of the box. I tried to figure out which port was the "in" to bring a connection from my router, but realized it doesn't matter. I guess I was overthinking it, but it would have been great if the instructions said something about it not mattering so I could have saved the minute I spent turning the unit, looking for a specifically-labeled Ethernet port, and wondering if it would work as I had done it.

NETGEAR GS308
Upgraded from a 5-Port to an 8-Port Unmanaged Switch. Just hook it up to the modem and it works perfectly.

Netgear 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Great product, well built, fast throughput, very inexpensive upgrade. Being used in my A/V system to hard wired all my gear back to the router for best performance. I trust Netgear with all my internet needs.

Works Great!
Picked up this switch in to add to my Nighthawk AX1800 for more hardwire options. Set up was plug and play and speeds have remained consistent and solid.

Where do I attach the router?
Bought 2 switches "installation instructions enclosed" I was informed. I received the switches broke out the "instillation instructions" and eagerly read them over and over. Nothing other than 'plug into power' and a graphic showing the router connecting to the back of the unit along with an 'access point'. All other hardware showed as connecting to the ports.I went online and registered the switches to my existing account and then queried 'support'. It sent me all over telling me how great this product was, meeting all these standards. Kudos from current owners. But nothing about where do you plug in the router. I even had to give out contact information so I could hear about how smart a purchase I made.Chat would not load, even used another system and it would not load. So I kept searching. After what turned out to be 2.5 hours I decided to try 'community support'.When I reached 'community support' I refused to become another sucker blindly giving out personal information from a group that guaranteed there would be no privacy (my spam filter chokes daily. I had purchased a product from an obviously arrogant company that could care less about the customer. I mean how difficult would it be to say "plug your ROUTER into ........ . It would be so simple to insert it on the website, even I could do it, but I do not know where to plug in a router to a Netgear GS308-300PAS 8 port Gigabit Ethernet Switch.It saddens me that that information is not available from Netgear either.My wife's urging is helping me get back to building the ethernet, but it is definitely not moving forward for at least another week while I research AGAIN to locate other equipment and this time if they can't/won't tell me how to use the equipment before I buy I won't waste any more time. A lot of companies make gigabit switches.

As a Network Engineer, I have experience in having equipment not work out of the box. As a customer, I am very satisfied with the performance and ease of use/setup with this product. Thank you NETGEAR!

Very good and efficient switch. Small an convenient. Worked without any special set up. Right out of the box. I connected all 8 of my wired devices and all get great internet connection. I have gigabit service and this switch is a gigabit switch and helps to get all my wired devices online.

I love the 8 port Netgear switch. It is easy to set up and works great. Plug and go not hassles and it works great in our classroom environment. It allows us to grow our desktop computer numbers without an expensive recalling effort.

Works like a champ
Needed an unmanaged switch for a home cable modem/router and ethernet distribution patch panel. Looked at some reviews, one indicated that the GS308 would work well with my router router, bought it, plugged it in, and every device found the internet feed from the router right away. No issues. Awesome!

Easy switch install
Replaced an old 5 port switch with a new 8 port. Plug anmd play, couldn't be easier. There's no way to go wrong as it doesn't matter which cable goes into which port. Plug it in and walk away!
