Fires up right out of the box. All metal. Sturdy fabrication. "0" installation setup requirement

Easy setup, 8 multiple ports versus 5.

Super easy setup. Plenty of POE ports.

Purchase cane as expected. Everything worked well


It seems to be a good switch for the price, I was just looking for a cheap switch to use at home and this is working without any problems

+ Compact form factor + Metal case with slots for wall mount + Plug n Play - no setup required + 10/100/1000Mbps + IGMP snooping built into the switch firmware. + Solid performance

Simple Plug and play. I have one switch that is not compatible with other equipment in my home network. The Netgear works flawlessly with all parts of my network. Yes, Faster is better and 8 ports of faster is always better

no installation required, just plug and play


- Solid metal construction is durable - Handles lots of traffic with ease - Does its job without drama or frequent resetting

Metal case. Very compact for a 10-port switch - I really like how small it is. I plugged in 10Gbps SFTP and 2.5Gbps devices and tested throughput. It moved 2.36Gbps between two 2.5Gbps ports and 9.39Gbps between two SFTP ports. In comparison, the same test (using iperf3 in Linux) between two SFP ports on my more-expensive Aruba switch gives the same 9.39Gbps. I was pleasantly surprised to see a "VLAN" switch on the front. The product description does not mention this.

Works great. Installation was simple. I have a telcom-supplied broadband router (Verizon FIOS), so I put this switch between the router and my home network. Simply put an uplink cable from the switch to the router, and plugged network devices into the switch. I now get gigabit speeds between my home computers. Couldn't be easier.

The MS305 (pay attention to the model number when purchasing) is a fine addition to a home network, especially with moving moderately large amounts of data between devices (pictures, streaming, archives) internally or via the Internet.
