 IT'S SMALL! August 24, 2007

I think this was the smallest gig switch I could find, so I bought it. I've owned several other Netgear switches and have really liked them. This one is no different - works as advertised straight out of the box, although a bit warm as many have mentioned (a Netgear feature). All ports are on one side, and I like the fact that it has mounting holes and hardware that permit you to hang it out of sight so all that cable mess can stay off the top of the desk. Mounted with the ports facing down, all cables come up into the box neatly so I didn't experience any cabling issues as some have mentioned. Two thumbs up!
Switch vs. Hub July 2, 2008

I had a 5-port HUB (using 3 of them) across the room from my main system. When transferring files I got a steady stream of collisions. Really slowed down the transfer due to all the retransmissions.
The SWITCH was truly Plug & Play. Plugged everything in and it worked. It did all the address look-up and handshaking without human involvement. File transfers now run at full speed with no collisions.
Highly recommended.
Dropped Wireless on Desktops for Faster Speed September 1, 2007

I purchased this item because I set up a Windows 2003 file server in my home to store files from my various computers. I still use wireless for laptop, but no longer for desktop. Speeds file transfer speeds increased greatly from 100M to GB speed. Well worth the price. Unit has good build quality and is made of metal, not plastic. Unit has been working since I purchased it with no problems (switches are so much more robust than the routers they have to deal with). File transfer to W2k3 box is about 40MB/sec. (1GHz P3 server)
I like Netgear's Professional line.
Simple, dependable switch. No mess, no fuss. May 13, 2008

For years and years Netgear has been producing a line of metal enclosed unmanaged (read no need to mess around with configuration) network switches. This line of metal enclosed Netgear switches have a proven track record -- I've used a dozen of them over the years without encountering any problems.
This 5-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch continues this flawless track record. I picked up two of these 5-port switches to ensure that my newly wired-for-Gigabit house maintains Gigabit speed on my internal wired network, only dropping to 100Mb/s Ethernet when network traffic crosses onto my router and then upstream to my DSL modem and beyond.
The Switch is small and light enough to be stashed out of the way attached to the side of a desk with the included mounting screws. The switch has two keyholes cut in the base of the unit. If you carefully position the two included screws in a vertical or horizontal surface (to mount on the underside of a table) then the switch will slide onto the screws to securely hang the switch.
Best product I've every seen! December 18, 2009

Bought it primarily to connect 2 PCs and NAS, but also connecting Internet Router and Xbox 360.
Profs:
* Small
* Cool (temperature)
* Metal case (asking why this is prof? Because not smelly plastic like most others!!! And of course metal provides extra shielding)
* Excellent quality
* Perfectly works on 1 Gigabit speed
* Package also contains 4 rubber legs and screws for on wall mounting (if needed)
* Green. Up to 60% power saving (as declared on the box). Of course haven't checked by myself! :-)
Cons:
None so far
