A go to item if you need more ports!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 August 2018

Style Name: UnmanagedSize Name: 5 PortVerified Purchase

If you've run out of ports on your router (of course you have we all do) this is what you need, top brand, nice and compact, no loss of speed and no setup other than plugging in the cables, what more could you ask for, mine runs cool 24/7 without issue, it does what you need it to and can probably handle more!

Please take a second to hit the helpful button it makes taking the time to write the review worthwhile x.

Ideal solution for providing additional ethernet ports/connectivity.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 May 2018

Style Name: UnmanagedSize Name: 5 Port | ProSAFEVerified Purchase

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.

Easy to use and does its job but...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 August 2017

Style Name: UnmanagedSize Name: 5 PortVerified Purchase

While my initial review of this was pretty positive (see below) now that I've been using it for a while I've found that it's actually become a bit of a bottleneck in my network as I basically ran my room off of it thinking it would be ok as only one or two devices are on at any one time but I was wrong and it actually throttled my speeds after a while so I would recommend getting a managed switch instead (Netgear still a very good brand so went with their prosafe 'built for business' model) I immediately noticed a dramatic difference after switching

Very Quick to set up and easy to use, does what it says on the tin so to speak, a single ethernet from the downstairs router and 4 ethernets going around my room, great little solution for expanding a wired internet network, would personally prefer if the lights were spaced out more so they're directly across from the port they correspond to, the power light is opposite ethernet 1 and the light for ethernet 5 is opposite ethernet 4, hardly important ofcourse but just something that I noticed and think it would be better if they were opposite their corresponding port

DO NOT USE WITH Sky Q

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 March 2018

Style Name: UnmanagedSize Name: 8 PortVerified Purchase

DO NOT USE WITH SKY Q, it has caused non stop issues with intermittent drop out of my network mini boxes ! It took an age of narrowing down the cause and Sky themselves basically gave up as everything showed setup was perfect.

I have subsequently found one other review with several similar problems on the Netgear Community site.

So...hard to put a number on it....seems to work fine as an off the shelf switch but...given its caused nightmare amount of pain and clearly a tried and proven compatibility issue with Sky Q ....not so good ?

Tidy, compact and very easy to use.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 September 2017

Style Name: UnmanagedSize Name: 5 PortVerified Purchase

I ordered this not for a home office but for a home entertainment system and it works perfectly.

In these days where everything is connected to the internet I found that having a TV, Blu Ray player and amplifier as well as the home lighting system that all want an internet connection it was difficult to provide for all of them. Particularly when I tend to stream high quality audio files which can put enormous stress on a WiFi connection.
This tidy little box proved a perfect answer, I just plugged all the Ethernet cables in, connected it to the mains and that was it! No configuration or anything else. It just worked straight out of the box and it's small enough to easily tuck it away out of sight.

All the streaming works fine with no buffering and all connections are solid and stable. Money well spent.

ATTENZIONE ALLA SPINA AMERICANA

Reviewed in Italy on 8 April 2018

Style Name: UnmanagedSize Name: 5 PortVerified Purchase

Forse il prodotto è eccellente (non ho avuto modo di provarlo) ma ti arriva con spina americana e quindi inutilizzabile in Italia.
Va ricomprato l'alimentatore e quindi alla fine costa un sacco.
Il fornitore cmq era disponibile a riprenderlo indietro...ma con i costi della spedizione che equivalgono (o quasi) quelli del nuovo alimentatore
