Netgear GS308 Ethernet Switch

When I upgraded my Verizon Fios Internet speed to Gigabit, I was employing a NetGear Fast which, of course, was not designed for Gigabit speed. Once I realized I would benefit from a Gigabit Switch, I decided on another NetGear as the one used has never failed me. Once, I made the change, suddenly the speed was demonstrated with Verizon's Broadband speed test. and my iMac's Down and Up speeds reflected the speed increase and my iOS devices as well. Easy to install, trouble-free. There were a lot of choices for a Gigabit Ethernet switcher, but I stayed with NetGear based on my experience of real time experience with their products.

Pllug and Play is one thing...Plug and ENJOY is quite another. I receive the Netgear GS308-300 PAS and in under 5 minutes had it up and running. I was able to move the entire home network off of WiFi, increase speed, and utilize the Gigabit service I had upgraded to..but never saw it's full potential. I've used Netgear equipment for many years professionally, yet never considered it for home use. A small investment that is already paying for itself with many more smiles and near zero grimaces as video streaming is now possible. WINNER!

For security reasons I am not allowed to use wireless equipment at my home office. When I brought in a second computer to do some additional work, I discovered that my router didn't have enough ports, so I ordered the Netgear 8-port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS308v3). It's compact, inexpensive, easy to install, easy to set up and very powerful. I gives me the ability to wire all the devices I need to have on the same network, and the peace of mind to know it's going to be there for me.
