NETGEAR 5-Port 2.5G Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Network Switch (MS305)

For purposes of a security system, I hardwired a couple Eero units to this switch, and it made ALL the units work much better. I’ve got a PC I’m using for a music studio connected to one of these, because it was FAR easier than running cable all the way to my router, and there’s something about connecting to the Eero unit, that’s connected to this switch, that gives me 1.5G internet speeds, as opposed to the 800mb I was getting before with a 65ft Cat8 cable ran straight to the router. Problem solved, and money WELL spent.

Easy to use. Has enough ports.

Far better than the previous Mokerlink I had which turned into a brick after a simple power cycle. This has been setup and running flawlessly for months now, even through a number of power interruptions.

Not too much heat. But this one is in a location where it gets good air flow. The internals, like almost everything made these days, is designed to work as intended, but with parts that heat up quiclky. I would have designed it with better parts and some cooling.

Solid build quality and works well, I was able to saturate each link at 2.5gbs. Power connects in the "back," Ethernet cables plug in on the front. The switch runs hot under load, so it might not be the best choice for something that sits in direct sunlight or in a poorly ventilated area. Basically perfect for my mini-lab.

Easy to wall-mount and get your Ethernet cords plugged in. Make sure you are close enough to an electrical socket to power the unit. I did a SIMPLE set up and install, plug-and-play, for home use. I did not have any networking rules or policies to implement. The speeds I am getting are very close to what I was expecting. If the specs fit your needs, I would recommend buying.

I love Netgear products for my home network. This did not disappoint. I do wish I’d gone for the managed variant, because in the unmanaged there are a few significant technologies that you just can’t use. Specifically making a trunk and port security.

I always go with netgear for my switches, nobody beats them for speed, reliability, and durability. Have never had one of them fail on me, highly recommended if you just need a basic switch.

Appareil bien construit. Fonctionne très bien, sans problème. Répond tout à fait à mes besoins.

Gran producto, excelente para extender conexiones de un modem/router para una sola red (No administrable ni configuracion de VLANs)

This item only ships with a 120-volt power supply. It is not appropriate for use in the UK and should not be sold here without a warning.

Work like a charm? No problem install ! Recommended

In almost 30 years of dealing with this tech stuff, I've never seen a switch burn out an onboard ethernet port. After a few days of having this online, my Gigabyte onboard ethernet is fried like an egg and no longer works. Very strange, returning this item and staying far away. Going back to my old 1GB GS108 workhorse.
