Netgear switches have proven to be invaluable in various scenarios where there is a need for additional network connections. They are especially popular in locations with limited wall connections, such as labs or rooms in small offices and homes. Users have reported that these switches are reliable and simple to use, making them suitable for smaller customers who do not require managed switches. Additionally, Netgear switches have demonstrated their durability in tough environments like warehouses and packing houses.
One of the key use cases of Netgear switches is the implementation of VLANs to efficiently route traffic to servers or the DMZ, allowing for efficient communication between devices. Netgear switches are also commonly used in SOHO environments, where users are looking for a cost-effective solution without compromising functionality. They are easy to set up and rarely require power cycling, providing consistent uptime.
Netgear switches are useful for linking small workstations and printers when there are limited network drops available. They can also be deployed in legacy data centers to enable remote access to HP ilo ports at a low cost. By deploying Netgear Rackmount switches to server racks, infrastructure engineers were able to provide remote access services to their infrastructure.
Overall, users have found Netgear switches to be dependable and efficient tools for expanding network connectivity and improving communication between devices. Whether it's in a lab, office, warehouse, or data center, these switches offer cost-effective solutions without compromising functionality.

Netgear SOHO Switch Review
- Gigabit speed is consistent and reliable
- Cost is low
- Easy to install
- Better advertisement about advanced enterprise features. My experience is with smaller switches and not with the fully managed switches.
- Additional management tools to monitor multiple switches in the environment. Similar to Cisco Network Assistant.
- Rarely need to reboot or troubleshoot the SOHO switches.
- Low cost for the functionality. For example, 8 port GB switches for $20 is a no brainer for a home environment that doesn't need vlans or more enterprise type features.
- No negative impact on any environment I am aware of, however have not tested in a larger environment with multiple switches.
