8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Easy Smart Managed Essentials Switch (GS308E) - Desktop or Wall Mount, Home Network Hub, Office Ethernet Splitter, Silent Operation

The NETGEAR GS308E is a solid 8-port gigabit smart switch with silent operation (no fan) and a sleek metal build. It delivers full gigabit speeds on all ports and is great for expanding your home or small office network. Basic smart features like VLANs, QoS, and cable diagnostics are accessible through its easy-to-use web interface—no separate software needed. Perfect for users who want more control than an unmanaged switch without the complexity of enterprise gear. If you're looking for affordable, quiet, and manageable networking, this switch hits the sweet spot.

I recently added this managed network switch to my office to handle a mix of PCs, a laptop, a couple of game consoles, and even smart TVs—and it’s been an absolute game changer. Performance & Stability: The switch keeps everything running smoothly without any noticeable lag or bottlenecking. Gaming and streaming run flawlessly, even when other devices are pulling heavy traffic. Management Features: Having a managed switch means I can set up VLANs, prioritize traffic, and monitor network performance. Being able to give priority to my work devices during the day while letting the consoles and TVs run off lower priority settings is a real advantage. Build & Setup: Solid metal housing, fan isn’t loud, and plenty of ports. The web interface took a little learning curve, but once I got through it, the control was worth it. Future-Proofing: With both gigabit speed and flexible management options, this switch ensures my office network can expand without a problem. Overall, this is more than just a plug-and-play switch—it gives me the stability and control to keep a busy office (and entertainment setup) running at full speed. Highly recommended if you’ve outgrown a basic unmanaged switch and want something that can scale with you.

Well built high quality network switch. Compact and has a semi-gloss black powder-coat. Very easy to use, has a surprisingly smooth and in-depth GUI. Lots of powerful features like QOS, port mirroring and a cable test. Asks kindly if you want to register (completely optional) and never pesters you again. Couldn't get a port scan fingerprint so that's good. No SSH or CLI but not a big deal. Set it, forget it, exactly what a good switch does.

Easy to set up and exactly what I needed and expected. Zero issues and highly recommend. The price was right due to a flash sale. Zero shipping issues and it arrived on time and zero damage. Was compatible with my network setup and glad I made this purchase

great managed switch with a good price $22

Have enough functionality to manage for a home network or small business. I would buy again and tried but Amazon denied me. Said I couldn't get 2 more. I guess that I will buy from one of the other vendors selling for the same price. Extremely stupid and now I am inconvenienced!!! Not cool Amazon!!!

No complaints! Does exactly what I needed it to do on my home network (set up a few VLANs). The setup was easy and everything works as expected.

First impression: the unit comes in a nicely package box with more than adequate protection. It has a metal high-quality enclosure. Plug and ease of views: using it as a unmanaged switch for a household network distribution box. Worked flawlessly run out of the box. Chose this over the other one minute switch because of the ratings and reliability concerns. Long term: I plan on using this with an ER605 router with tagged vlan traffic. I nees to do some learning and testing first but am sure this switch will handle it.

This is really great. It worked fine straight out of the box. You can manage it from your PC and configure the more sophisticated features from there.

This works great as a manageable network switch. Setting up is very simple. I have assigned it a fixed IP so that it is easy to identify and manage. No issues whatsoever.

Por el momento funciona bien

Le commutateur NETGEAR Gigabit Ethernet Plus 8 ports est facile à installer et performant. Il permet de segmenter les réseaux avec des VLANs, idéal pour une utilisation fluide et sans ralentissement. Je recommande !

Works just fine and cheaper then purchasing from retail store, you do get a plain box and a universal plug with the adaptor for your region, so I guess that's how they sell it cheaper. I bought this to replace the same unit that failed after about 4 years. The old one still connected but all ports were limited to 100 Mb and couldn't get the full gig connection, the power light also failed to light up. The new one is totally plug and play, I didn't even bother connecting to it via the 162.1.192..... or whatever......it just works and no one else can connect to it so I'm not worried.
