About NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch
90% liked its broad compatibility, while 10% experienced compatibility issues
All devices run at gigabit and there are no issues with saturation, conflict, LAN dropping, address issuing/resolution and port speed.
If a later firmware comes out supporting SNMP, I will give 5 stars.
The device is incompatible with NICs from leading manufacturers like Intel, Realtek, and Marvell.
84% praised for its redundant fan design
I have experienced the benefit of the switch having no fan, as it was crucial for me.
90% praised for its easy management features, while 10% found it complicated to set up
Our product has management features that are usually expensive and not available in other products.
The web management interface is functional but awkward to use.
The switch is simple and non-manageable.
92% liked the flexible mounting options, but 8% found it difficult to install
The product has sleek dimensions and can be mounted in both modular and non-modular environments.
This switch is great for mounting somewhere unsentimental.
The physical mounting options are mainly for a rack or laying on a table, and there is no wall mount without jury-rigging it.
88% praised for its fast network speeds, while 12% experienced slow connectivity
I was surprised at the high network speed I was able to achieve for the price I paid.
After adding the switch to our network, we started getting 75MB/s transfer speeds between computers, which is nearing the limit of our hard drives.
I ran some ISP network speed tests and there was no noticeable change in speed results.
On our network, the slowest device limits the network speed.

81% liked the quiet operation, but 19% found it too loud
The fan serves as a source of white noise for me, but it could be an annoyance for those who want a quiet working environment.
I found that the switch is loud and tested different fans to identify the source of the noise. It was not the fan being too loud, but the vibration transmitted through the chassis.
The switch fan is loud.
96% liked the ample port count, but 4% needed more ports for their setup
When we switched to new phones, the ports showed 1000, which helped us figure out that the ethernet cable was running through older VOIP phones that were rated only at 100.
The 5-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch has a flawless track record.
After upgrading the firmware to 1.4.0.2, Port 1 is capped at 100Mbps and fails connectivity tests.
88% appreciated the durable construction
I was impressed with the quality of the unit from the start. It was well-designed and constructed with excellent fit-and-finish.
I am amazed by the quality of the switch and its build, design, and features.
The product has a solid metal casing, no capacitors, and a lifetime warranty.
The quality of construction of this switch is excellent. The case is metal and the device is heavy, with no cheap plastic and lightweight feel.

81% appreciated the robust security features, while 19% found them inadequate
I prefer having additional security features to make it more difficult to access my network.
The switch has a loop detection feature that ensures stability and alerts me if a loop has been detected.
The switch supports IEEE 802.1Q-or port-based VLANs for segregated traffic like voip/data.
The switch has no security features for administering it.
