Review: Ideal solution for providing additional ethernet ports/connectivity. - NETGEAR GS105UK 5-PORT GIGABIT UNMANAGED ETHERNET SWITCH. (NOTE:- Please be aware that multiple different types/models of these Netgear switches are all foolishly grouped together under one single product review. Unless the review CLEARLY states the SPECIFIC model, you could be reading a review for a completely different model to the one you're looking to purchase)!!! ADDITIONALLY - Before I mention anything else, IF you do purchase the "GS105UK Unmanaged" - You MAY NEED to connect your router to PORT 5. (There's been conflicting info online regarding this issue for YEARS. Worse still, there's multiple versions of the GS105 as it's been in continuous production for years, in different variations, & released in countless nations. Some versions/variants ARE different to others!! (My last Netgear GS105 also inexplicably required the router in port 5 for example). Netgear's aging installation diagram shows the modem/router connected to a centre port. Many sources say it just doesn't matter which port, whilst others say the router must be connected to port 5!! (However, IF I don't use port 5 for my router on my switch & I connect another device there instead, it drops all other connections. Router in port 5, everything works exactly as it should regardless of connecting/disconnecting any other ports). With that out of the way.... As with many, I have an ever increasing number of devices in my home with internet connectivity that include ethernet. Router manufacturers insist on limiting available ethernet ports to 4 or in some cases only 2 & it's just not enough. If you just need additional ethernet ports without any other hassle, an unmanaged switch is an ideal solution. I've been networking PC's since the latter 1990's at a home/semi-enthusiast level or setting up for others. I've always prefered my static devices such as desktops, gaming consoles, TV, miscellaneous devices, (frequently laptops as well) to be hard wired for security, speed, & reliability, especially with some of my devices constantly file sharing, streaming, etc. My previous unmanaged switch recently died after many years solid service. I settled on another unmanaged switch for my current needs & for most who simply need extra ethernet ports, an unmanaged switch is all that's required. Given the low cost of these devices now, if I find a managed switch would be more beneficial I'll purchase one as required. I'm reasonably tech savvy, since installing the switch I've used a number of the most common tools freely & readily available for testing my home network for any issues. Thus far this new Netgear switch has performed admirably & I haven't run into any problems at all, (other than the port 5 nonsense). I've recently purchased a new router & swapped out all of my old ethernet cabling as well. I'm very happy with the performance of the switch & the entire network. The switch is very well made & they now have a full metal enclosure, (my last one was plastic). They are easily wall mountable for keeping the switch & all the additional cabling as tidy as is possible. The ports are all solid & to date I've only had one older Cat6 cable where the connector failed to lock in place. All of my newer Cat6a cables lock in securely, (which is just as well as it's considerably thicker than the 14 year old Cat6 it's replacing & the Cat6a is not particularly pliable). Otherwise, it's incredibly simple to use. Power up, connect your ethernet devices & that's it, no software or configuration necessary. (If you require greater control/options, purchase a managed switch)!! Each port simply has a pair of green lights to visually confirm the status of individual ports. The product is supplied in retail packaging with a quick start guide, (if memory serves the quick start guide hasn't changed in years). A power supply is also included, & a couple of small screws & raw plugs for wall/surface mounting. It's a good idea to register your switch on Netgear's website for warranty purposes, etc. Compared to a managed switch they are very simple but highly effective, they do their job perfectly well. I would happily recommend the GS105UK & gladly rate this updated metal variant at 5/5.
Review: Solid Piece of Kit - Bought this to replace a Netgear Fast Ethernet Switch that had been in service for 12 years. Unfortunately the power adaptor for that one was thrown out accidentally (although it was all still working perfectly) so I used the opportunity to upgrade to a gigabit switch. The construction is the same as the old switch, and is reassuringly solid and old school. A friend here saw the old switch and said "They don't make them like that any more", but it turns out that in fact they do. Apart from the construction, there isn't a lot to say about the switch. It worked out of the box and was set up and doing its thing in under a minute. And based on my past experience with Netgear I expect it to be going strong until Ethernet becomes obsolete. I can't comment on performance because I haven't taken the time to run speed tests, and since the weak link in my home network is the wireless N router, I am sure the switch isn't the bottleneck. The unit can be wall mounted and although the instructions noted that the screws and wall plugs were "not included" they actually were included. If you are in the market for a solid, no-nonsense 5 port switch, I believe this is a very good buy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect, hassle free and works a treat!
*by M***E on 16 April 2016*

With so many of these on the market I decided to take the plunge and opted for this product as NETGEAR is a well-known name. I am quite knowledgeable on PC matters but this is simply a 'plug n play' item, just connect 1 Ethernet cable (not supplied|) in to your Router and the other into port 5 of the item and that is basically it; all you have to do now is connect your cabled items into either your Router or the Switch. It is quite small, metal, very sturdy and well-made, it also comes with screws and wall-plugs should you wish to have it on a wall; I ran speed tests connected to the Router and the Switch and there was no drop in service at all, as I run a small network in my house I connected these items to my Switch and the rest in to the Router. If you need to connect more items than what your Router will let you then this little gem is a must!
