There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It says 1000 mbs. But that is not what I see. I get 441 mbs when connected directly to my modem router. When I move it to the hub, I get 94 mbs.
The GS208 is smaller and made of very flimsy plastic, but its size turned out to be a bonus. I was able to reclaim some shelf space for two external HDDs. The on/off switch is unnecessary, but fortunately located in a place where you aren't likely to brush against it and accidently turn it off. The LEDs are very bright (so much so that I had to move the switch to my lowest shelf to avoid being distracted by it). Other than than that, there is not much to say. It works.
You probably know if you need more wired connections. If you do, a Netgear Gigabit unmanaged switch is a great way to solve the problem. You plug it in, plug one of the ports into your router, then plug your other devices into the other ports and they all talk to each other. It's that simple. No passwords, no setting up accounts, no software to install, no accounts to set up. I've had one for years and it has been completely reliable.
Netgear switches come in different sizes, and you might wonder which to get. You'll notice that my title says "addition of seven new wired ethernet ports". That is not an error. This device has eight ports, but you will use one of those to connect it to your existing network. Thus you only get seven new ports. Keep this in mind if you're thinking, for instance, of getting the slightly cheaper GS305 switch , which has five ports. That will add four wired connections to your network. It's not a bad idea to err on the side of bigger.
-- These are very small and light, much smaller then the impression left from viewing the pictures.
-- There is nothing more to the installation then plug it in and power it up.
-- Its connects to all 8 ports almost instantly. I reach back to plug it in and view the front and all the ports were connected .
-- The ethernet ports on the rear are well labeled and the numbers easily read.
-- What is a true convenience is that the lights on the front phsically match the port on the back. Many other switchs reverse the order and its a total annoyance. On this switch draw a line from the port lights to the connector to know which connector is was activity light. nice!
-- The front lights are easily seen. The ports show different colors for the speed, green for 1G and yellow for 100m.
-- Very very light and can be easily attached to desktop using double side foam tape and it holds in place when cables are attached.
-- How about speed performance? I have all 8 ports used to include a TV, Blu-ray player, 2 home security DVRs which (all 100M ports) are all streaming video for this test. The TV and the Blue-ray are streaming 4K UHD video. In addition I have a laptop (with 1G port) and the R6700 router (also 1G port) connected plus 2 standalone IP security cameras (100M ports). The port light colors were correct, Green for the router and PC and yellow for all others. I could tell no difference in the 4K streaming user interface or video performance when connected through the 8 port switch or when connected directly to the router. Every device connected through the switch performed perfectly without any hint of data slowdown. I did a speed test from my PC for the broadband service and I hit the maximum data rate provided by the ISP.
One thing could be improved:
-- I wish there was something to attach them to a surface. There are no mounting holes . Its a smooth small box.
Conclusion: Other than some 2 sided tape for mounting this is a perfect, fast and economical plug and play 1G switch.
