Best 8 port managed switch in small form factor
This 8 port Poe powered switch is an excellent addition to any small business or home network. Being PD powered you can connect this to a central POE switch without worrying about an additional power supply meaning it's perfect for adding multiple network ports in small spaces, for instance in AV racks and media centers. Being managed adds greater flexibility allowing for VLAN tagging to separate Video, Phone and PC network traffic. I have multiple of these running throughout my home and love how well built they are, the reliability and flexibility they offer and you can't beat the price too.

This switch is just what i was looking for. this year I have been learning as much as I can about computers. I have a number of devices that Im using in my home. So I bought a switch to expand my network. Its a managed switch giving me more expansion to my recent education in technology. But simple enough to just plug in and use if want to keep it simple.

Great all in one smart switch for those compact areas where control and power are needed! We used this handy 8 port switch to create a private subnet from our existing static network giving us an expanded use for one of our Satelite locations which we didn't have enough IPs for newly installed devices!! Worked like a charm and cost less than a good lunch!! I would recommend always having one in your kit as I now do!!

Netgear is one of those few companies that you can trust. The hardware is always top quality but what's more important to me is their support. They have never let me down when I needed help. The GS108Tv2 switch has worked flawless and reliable. The web interface is easy to configure. It's amazing how many features the smart switch supports such as multicasting (IGMP for the price. What I like about Netgear is they are in-touch with their customers and provide products and solutions for consumers and businesses.

Reliable Product That Works
Functionality and Reliability-wise, this unit works great. It's worked well with any PoE device. Setting up VLAN is quite simple. The only reason why I took a star off is because the GUI seems to not work as well with today's browsers AND requires Java. Requiring Flash or Java simply needs to go - they should make sure they stick with a GUI that can work fine with today's browsers without requirements of the past. If they are outdated because of this, they should allow a firmware update (perhaps to remedy this problem, simplifying things in the process. I'd still buy

Great Home Lab Switch
I picked up one of these switches recently and it has been great. If you need some interesting features but do not need multigig support, this is a good choice. I am only giving it four stars because there does not seem to be a way to change the administrative user name, or use 2FA, which are both security issues imo.

Love these little guys.
I love these little switches... I have about 20 of them in place. The fact that they can be powered from upstream POE Source makes them ideal for remote areas that just need an extra network drop. This allows me to keep the network up with centralized UPS devices. Most of the time I do not need to use the management portion of this switch, but If I need to designate a VLan, I am able to get it done - no issues.

Excellent Expansion Switch
Simple and relatively easy to configure, this switch is great for PoE capable networks: it can go places without power, which makes it possible to pull fewer home run category cables. If you have a protected power injector or PoE switch/router feeding this device, thats one more spot on your surge protector at your desk or a.v. cabinet, and more if you have multiple areas fed from this switch. Very solid device, which could use an LED switch to limit light pollution, and Mac/Linux compatibility for its guided setup and management apps, which would be easier to use than the web access page, or a guided setup on that page.

Great inexpensive feature rich switch
Using this to filter multicast storm control. It does the job well, and the sturdy hardware demonstrates the look of a high quality product. The one thing that I do not like and wish would go away, is the need to register the product in order to access most of the features. For most people this is not going to be a big issue, just an annoyance. However, you better hang onto the registration ID or else some years down the road there is a potential to end up with a brick should the switch get a factory reset after Netgear decides they no longer need to support an old obsolete product.

I have a good Netgear router and also a good Netgear switch, but with a new 2 LANs port NAS, I needed something more to have advantage on Port Trunking function. Have to stream fun for children as well as stuff for my freelance work were not always manageable. However, I came across a Netgear forum where a guy suggested to "manage" the port trunk function with the Smats Manage GS108T instead of disrupting the entire system is spend a lot of money. Very good suggestion! GS108Tv2 is very good product, easy to use like a cherry on the cake. The remaining part is Netgear.

Switch does exactly what it needs to and offers many more features and capabilities if you require more fine control over your network. My only complaint would be that the user interface seems a bit sluggish when managing the switch through a browser. Overall this switch has plenty of throughput and options that make the price point a good value for a solid product.

Like all netgear devices i have owned the primary purpose was served 100% out of the box. The additional benefit of remote control is new and therefore required a moderate learning curve to set up, but it works as declared and as expected.

It's a good Switch
It is a smart managed switch, so you can make VLANs. The web interface is easy to use and neatly organized. Also, it is in a very small form factorbso it is easy to hide.

Solid switch; good value
Only had this switch for a couple weeks, but I think this is a great product in balancing features and value.

I have a few of these...
I have three GS108Tv2's and a GS110TP. I absolutely love them. I can't say that I've done anything with the VPN features, but the PoE is SO handy.
I've read a few reviews where people had some troubles with these devices but they really sounded like they were trying to get Enterprise class functionality out of a consumer/SOHO device. Which reminds me of the people who thought the home PC (made by a certain manufacturer that I will decline to mention for whom I did technical support) should be capable of professional video editing. Back in the 90s. With free software that came on the machine.
I am a big fan of Netgear products and the lifetime warranty is just a giant demonstration of their belief in the quality of their products.

Simple and easy setup
I decided to go with this product for the 1 POE port that I needed for phone and my other equipment. Very easy to set up and get working. Highly recommend this unit for a small home office.

Good switch, good price
Was exactly what I was expecting for the price I wanted to pay. Sturdy construction, easily mounted, and all the features a startup homelab needs.

Good PD Switch
Retrofitted my house for Ethernet any used this to connect the different rooms in the basement. Being POE powered, I didn’t have to worry about putting power in my crawl space!

Great Performace & Price
I'm a 25+ year IT guy and when it comes to reliability, I turn to Netgear for my small business clients.

Works As Advertised
Painless hookup; plug and play if you want or custom configuration as well; excellent construction - business class and quality; should be good-to-go for life!

Won't get fooled again. from
Original and warranty units all failed.
I bought one of these a few years ago because of the POE PD feature.I was disappointed to find that an internet connection is required to "unlock" any useful functionality. Once you've done that, make sure you don't do the reset to factory settings because you might find that Netgear support has trouble getting you a new code. That's just the start. I had two of these fail in exactly the same way (they reboot themselves continuously after power is applied, resulting in lots of flashing light but no functionality of any kind. The replacement unit also failed.

Wonderfull switch, Terrible support experience
This is a great switch, easy to configure works well. However, I went to mount it on the wall with the screw slots provided in the back. Slid the switch on and it stoped working. Contacted support, turns out that there is a thin plastic cover between the circuit board and where the mounting screw hole is. The screw likely had a sharp edge and cut though the thin plastic cover and shorted out the switch. Netgear refuses to help me out so I need to buy a replacement switch. The Support engineer was actually kinda rude and said I used too much force. Sad to say, I was going to upgrade my wireless system to a Netgear solution, but now, I'm not buying any more Netgear products. Their Lifetime warrantee has lots of caveats. If you have have this product, take extra caution mounting it, they dont have much protection around the mounting holes. If possible use a plastic screw.
