You can power this via USB!

You can power this via USB!
I saw that the 5-port version of this particular switch accepts a 5V - 0.7A DC input and I didn't want to take up another slot on the power strip just to power a switch.So I ended up fashioning a USB to barrel power plug cable using an old USB cable and the power cord that came with this switch.I have plenty of available USB ports in my Home Theatre set up and any one of them can power this switch. In fact I first tested that this method would work using a power bank and even that was able to power the switch and allowed it to transmit at full speed.I currently have 4 ports populated with 1000mbps going to each port.Its been stable so far and the metal chassis is relatively cool.Glad the labeled input on the switch was correct and that my experiment ended up working out!I would recommend this switch!

This was recommended to me by an IT engineer and after installing it and using it for months I can understand why. It took minutes to install right down to mounting it under my desk. I have no loss of signal or download speed after splitting off 2 computers and running them simultaneously. Great price and it works very well.

As a system integrator I have installed a lot of switches over the years from various manufacturers including TrendNet, D-Link, TP-Link and Netgear. Netgear continues to be my favorite.

This is a no nonsense Gigabit Switch with a metal housing. It can be used on a shelf, desktop or wall mounted using the slots on the back of the switch.

Set up is quick and easy - Plug N Play. Just plug the power adapter into the wall outlet and your network cables into the switch. There is no software needed and no firmware to update. Speeds are up to 1000mbps using Cat6 cabling.

I prefer the LED Lights on the Netgear 5 & 8 port switches compared to the TP-Link and some others. The LEDs are easier to read so it's easier to spot an issue on a specific port.

Overall all four brands of switches I mentioned are good however Netgear continues to be the one I choose most often if the price is the same or similar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reliable and simple unmanaged switch for home networks
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2024

I recently purchased my second NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS305) to add ports to my growing number of connected devices. While it may not have the bells and whistles of more advanced switches, it serves its purpose well as a basic networking solution.

The installation process was a breeze; I plugged in the power adapter and connected my devices using Ethernet cables. The switch immediately recognized the devices, and I experienced a noticeable improvement in network speeds versus WiFi connection speeds.

The compact design of the GS305 is a plus, taking up minimal space, aand its metal casing gives it a sturdy feel. The indicator lights on the front provide clear information about the status of each port.

While it lacks advanced management options, the simplicity of the GS305 is an advantage if you prefer a plug-and-play solution without dealing with complex configurations.

In conclusion, the NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS305) is a reliable and straightforward networking solution for users who seek a no-frills approach. While it may not boast advanced features, it serves its purpose well for those looking for a simple and effective way to expand their home or small office network.

Finally fiber-optic installed into my Maui neighborhood subdivision so we switched from the slow cable internet and then updated my home office from a 10/100 Netgear fast switch to a Netgear GS305E. However just needed simple new switch for Casita and just went with this GS305 as plug n' play since it only had a solar system gateway, desktop PC and Netgear Business WAX214PA Access Point connected with an extra port for a guest to plugin direct. Works as advertised, delivered new advertised internet speed same as the main house even though its at the end of a 250 ft. Cat5e cable run. Very inexpensive upgrade and no setup required. Have all Netgear equipment: Nighthawk 3-band router, wi-fi extenders, switches and access point. Just believe in their equipment as it has served me well even in many office buildings.
