The NETGEAR® 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch with a plug-and-play configuration has auto-sensing, 10/100/1000Mbps ports to allow for connection and integration of multiple systems. Rely on the non-blocking switching construction to provide maximum throughput at wire speeds. The ports allow for bandwidth delivery of up to 2000Mbps with full-duplex capability for quick, simultaneous reception and transmission of large files. It supports Linux™, Macintosh®, and PC operating systems to expand the pool of devices compatible with the modular switch.

A plug-and-play system eliminates the need for configurations and software installation, making the NETGEAR 5-port, gigabit switch GS105 easy to use. Outside the system are status indicators including port duplex mode, power, and collision status to help monitor the condition and functionality of the modular switch. Energy-efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) reduces power consumption upon detection of inactivity or light traffic to lower the cost of operation. A self-cooling, fanless design minimizes noise to make the NETGEAR network five-port switch a viable option for noise-sensitive environments.

Competitive pricing improves cost management while dual firmware needs addressing

What is our primary use case? We use NETGEAR for IT-related tasks such as connecting printers and access points. It's primarily utilized as a layer-two solution. Additionally, one of the NETGEAR switches is deployed at a retail outlet. How has it helped my organization? It is difficult to quantify the return on investment because it's an unmanaged switch. By having unmanaged switches, we don't need to spend a lot of time on configuration or management, which simplifies our operations. What is most valuable? NETGEAR offers a competitive pricing structure, which is beneficial for cost management. The precision time protocol feature caught our interest for future use in specific settings like churches, where low latency is required. What needs improvement? NETGEAR should focus on eliminating single points of failure. They should introduce features like dual firmware or dual boot that allow systems to be updated without downtime. The user experience on their website needs improvement; it's often confusing which switches support Insight cloud features. For how long have I used the solution? The NETGEAR switch has been in place for a while, approximately three to four years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? NETGEAR stability falls between a six and a seven out of ten rating. We've experienced failures such as a 16-port dying after three to four years. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? NETGEAR's scalability through its Insight Cloud system is on par with Ubiquiti's, although it must offer features beyond its competitors. Higher-end switches deploy more advanced features, such as those needed for precision time protocols. How are customer service and support? Customer service navigation is not user-friendly; the website is confusing, making it difficult to find pertinent information. There are issues distinguishing which switches support cloud features. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? Ubiquiti solutions were used previously. Their limited customer support and liability issues with their operating system prompted a change. How was the initial setup? I did not set it up personally. It was already installed when I began working with it. Since it's unmanaged, we don't have to configure it continuously, simplifying the process. What about the implementation team? The installation involved two or three individuals from a different location. What was our ROI? The return on investment is hard to gauge due to the limited management required for unmanaged switches. The switch is operational with minimal intervention, which is expected for unmanaged solutions. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? NETGEAR is reasonably priced, between a six and seven out of ten on the pricing scale. Some high-end switches required for specific advanced features, like precision time protocols, can be more expensive. Which other solutions did I evaluate? We are currently testing Grandstream switches and have explored Ubiquiti products. We also have quotations for Aruba Instant On yet have not deployed it primarily due to its dual setup options with limited cloud access. Grandstream is evolving and offers the potential for zero-trust provisioning. What other advice do I have? NETGEAR is a viable option if you require cost-effective solutions. However, ensure the product aligns with your requirements for more advanced needs and cloud features. Always look for features that differentiate it, such as AI integration or comprehensive cloud provisioning. I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

Efficient routing and access control with an easy setup

What is our primary use case? We use NETGEAR Switches for networking, particularly for switch-to-switch connectivity. We connect them with core switches, especially for camera installation. How has it helped my organization? NETGEAR Switches have increased the throughput and speed of internal communication, and have improved our network efficiency. What is most valuable? The most valuable features are routing and access control. Integration is very easy compared to other brands, making configuration straightforward even for any IT professional. What needs improvement? They can improve on the commercial part, specifically the cost, as it is higher than other brands. For how long have I used the solution? I have worked with NETGEAR Switches for the last five years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? It is working fine. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? The integration part is very easy compared to other brands. The scalability of NETGEAR Switches is easy and very beneficial for us. I would rate the scalability nine out of ten. How are customer service and support? There is no issue with the support. If anything arises, we get good support. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive How was the initial setup? The initial setup was rated eight out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy to set up. Initially, there were some challenges because it was the first time, but later it was fine. What about the implementation team? The deployment was done in-house. We used three people: one to manage all switches, another for power connection and cabling, and a third for configuration. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? The cost of switches is higher than other brands. I would rate the price of NETGEAR Switches seven out of ten, where ten is the highest price. What other advice do I have? I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

NETGEAR Switch GS305v3 it disappoints!

I was hoping by purchasing this update version of a switch I already owned it would solve my problem, but it didn't. I have an internet system that uses 5G on the wireless side, and only 2.4Ghz on the wired connected ethernet cable side, after replacing the switch and even updating the ethernet cable, it didn't Read more

Helps with infrastructure planning and provides flexibility to leverage and connect more devices

What is our primary use case? The solution helps with infrastructure planning. If you have a point-of-sale system, you can use these switches to connect the internet devices through the right Ethernet cable. That gives more flexibility instead of trying to get the Ethernet cable in the infrastructure wall. We Read more

NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch, Plug-and-Play (GS105NA) is rated2.67 out of5 by3.

Rated 5 out of 5 bySkippy19 from Can cause problems on the LANThese are cheap switches, and you get what you pay for. Since there's no documentation, we had to find this out the hard way:These Netgear switches have short MTU of about 1300. So while your PCs and servers default to MTU of 1500, these switches break each full packet into two, which are then re-assembled at the destination. That process creates about 2X the network traffic, 2X the switch processing, and 2X the NIC processing overhead. In my experience, too many of these switches on an active LAN can quickly flood your network and overwhelm the switches.Instead, we upgraded to the Netgear GS108T managed switches, with variable MTU settings beginning at 1500. They give us far more control, and our network problems disappeared.

Rated 5 out of 5 byRTSD from Product unreliableHas minimal ports, used it for about a month, and lost signal to two of the 4 ports available, unreliable after only a short period of time, cost money for down time to find replacement, not made to withstand minimal usage, this product was used maybe 3 times a week for about 3hrs a day.
