The NETGEAR 8-Port 2.5G Multi-Gigabit Unmanaged Switch provides an instant, powerful upgrade for home and business networks demanding more than the standard. It is the effortless solution for expanding your wired connectivity, providing the bandwidth needed for high-performance WiFi 6 access points, powerful workstations, and immersive gaming setups. Experience the freedom of a network that works without complication, giving you the space to create, connect, and accomplish more. Experience the fluid power of multi-gigabit speeds. This switch features eight ports that automatically adapt to the connected device, delivering precisely the speed it needs—100M, 1G, or 2.5G. With a non-blocking switching architecture and 40Gbps of bandwidth, your data flows without restriction, ensuring maximum throughput at wire speed. It intelligently recognizes 802.1p traffic prioritization and honors DSCP tags, so your most critical applications run with the stability and performance they deserve. Crafted for quiet confidence and versatility, the MS308 is housed in a durable metal case that fits naturally into any environment. Its fanless design guarantees completely silent operation, making it perfect for noise-sensitive spaces like home offices or media centers. The compact form factor offers flexible placement options, allowing it to sit neatly on a desktop or mount securely to a wall using the included kit. Built for efficiency, it supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet, automatically reducing power consumption to lower your operational costs. Getting started is as simple as plugging it in. As a true unmanaged switch, the MS308 requires no software or configuration—just connect your devices, and it handles the rest. Auto-MDI/MDIX eliminates the need for crossover cables, further streamlining the setup process. Clear per-port LEDs provide immediate visual feedback on port speed and activity. The package includes the MS308 switch, a power adapter, a wall installation kit with rubber feet, and an installation guide, giving you everything you need for an immediate network expansion. Review: Great, but too expensive! - This MS305E switch has a much better http menu system than the earlier simpler units, such as GS105E/GS108E. The VLAN seems to have more options, but I'm not yet fully familiar. BEWARE: use an updated Browser, or the menu items might not respond. The DHCP functionality is great, making initial setup a breeze. Then you can easily assign a static address (and be sure to reboot it). I have not (at least, yet) experienced any of the problems others have mentioned, and desertcart claims it is "frequently returned". It's only been a few hours for me so time will tell, but so far, it performs as expected. There are no functionality or bandwidth issues, and transfer speeds are the same with or without this switch in the system. I needed a 2.5Gbps VLAN switch (to replace the 1.0Gbps units) and I'm glad I selected this one. That being said, yes, it IS super over-priced! I wanted the 308, but for another $100?!!? Marketing madness! Review: Works well, lowered latency - I prefer managed switches, even at home. The built in web management page is better than most and allows good remote configuration. Since my WAN router had a 2.5 Gbps port , my local network increased in throughput capability. Running a few speed benchmarks showed that my connections to it had about half of the latency of the previous 1Gbps switch. Good for gamers. ## Features - 2.5-GIGABIT ETHERNET PORTS: Features 8 x 2.5Gbps Multi-Gig Ethernet ports for high-speed connectivity.
