Well manufactured compact device with a premium look and feel. There isn't an ounce of doubt that this isn't a cheap device like some others out there on the market. The unit I received has worked instantly out of the box for a week and counting. Installation is a breeze, most users purchasing a network switch probably know how to install these but if not, simply plug your modem and/or router into the switch. Followed by plugging in your other ethernet friendly devices. TP-Link has also included a utility that'll help users ensure their devices connect to the switch. Overall the entire setup takes a few minutes. The device itself has 5 energy efficient ports that cables "snap" tightly into place on. The ports themselves come with various energy efficient technologies, from turning off unused ports, to analyzing how long a cable is to deliver just the right amount of power. Indicator lights on the device also inform you if you are connected to a 10/100 Mb network or a 1000 Mb. There's also support for port mirroring, loop prevention, cable diagnostics, QoS, VLAN, etc. The connections I used to review this product on for a week all worked perfectly without any issues. The device doesn't have padded feet to keep it from sliding around on a surface, but it does come with mounting holes allowing easy installation on a wall, behind a stand/desk, etc. (Mounting screws not included)

I work in information technology, and sometimes configure larger managed switches. When I read the specifications for this switch and then the price, I don't think I've ever impulse bought a network device faster, and I don't regret it. It does everything it says it does in the manual, is inexpensive, fanless, and has a great, sturdy iron case with notches for wall mounting using the included screws and wall anchors. Apart from the very solid build quality an iron case imparts, the extra weight is incredibly helpful to keep the device firmly planted where you put it when you have Ethernet cables hanging from all of the ports.

Small/efficient design Flexible PoE output

I own lots of similar netgear switches. The reason I keep buying them is simple. The price is good, they work well and they use a metal chasis.

Very solid metal build for a small switch. Price was very nice. Gigabit ethernet in a small formfactor

Worked just as expected almost perfectly right out of the box. If you don't need a managed switch, than Netgear's unmanaged computer network switches are a perfect alternative. Plus the previous network switch from Netgear that I purchased almost 14 years ago still has great spark. It's newer replacement, the GS516v3 16-port switch is a flawless replacement for my old smart managed GS716Tv2 switch from 2011-12.

Noticeable speed increase over my non QOS switch, this switch is sitting behind an IPfire Linux router, the QOS tagging made a huge difference with video streaming since the switch and router now both support QOS properly together. Now the kids can no longer barf out my sling tv or netflix with Steam or youtube, http-rtsp is set in the router for precedence over the other protocols, this didn't seem to have any affect before with the old switch and now I get dead reliable video streaming. The management is dead simple to use, just read the directions on how to connect to it.

The switch has a very heavy and quality feel to it. POE+ works great with my cameras, and wireless access points.

Fast performance and PoE+/++ out of the box! Small footprint and overall a performance beast for my network

I've installed several of these, all rock solid.

Fast (Gigabit); Cheap; Rack-Mountable; 24 Ports; Cool; Quiet
