Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank artcab

This is the lowest price I've seen for this switch. I have a couple of these in use and it's a good product. This switch supports some limitied management functions including VLANs, great if you have a separate IoT VLAN and want to have some ports dedicated to IoT devices and other ports dedicated to your isolated home network, all on one switch.

This is a great price for a web-managed switch. I don't think I have ever seen one this cheap.

That being said, do be aware that, historically, Netgear hasn't provided updates to their entry-level consumer switches for very long so you end up with an out-of-date and potentially insecure device on your network.

I have had 2 of these go bad on me - payed netgear shipping to RMA them.

Their customer service is terrible to deal with. Both times, it was software issue - firmware corruption- agree with above comment that there is never any updates for this switch.

Got the PoE version of this (GS308EP) a couple years back - still going strong and runs my POE IP cameras continuously.

Do you happen to know how many VLANs it will support?

My last employeer was cheap, so we used a lot of 5-port switches and when one went bad (being cheap) we did not have a replacement and Amazon was 5+ days shipping. I found a power supply with the same volts and more amps, cut the cables tested polarity and had a good working switch. We repaired 3 more in my time there with this method. (The power came from retired equipment). My point is it may not be the switch that went bad on you.

Thanks, I've been meaning to get a hub as my modem/gateway has only one ethernet port.
