Needed a gigabit switch for an in-wall patch panel and wanted to get rid of the cord dangling down the wall. This being PD made it super simple. Have had it installed for about a week or so with no issues. Excellent management capabilities as well.

I've owned this product for 4 years and it is still doing great. I bought it to use link aggregation with my NAS and the extra speed totally justifies the added price compared to an unmanaged switch.
This particular product pushed me to switch over all of my networking hardware to Ubiquity and its family of AP, switches, and security gateways. There is a significantly noticeable difference in performance and value. I've used NETGEAR router products for years. This was the first managed switch I purchased. I found the interface and configuration of my network required that I work around how the product is configured and its software limitations.

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!!

I got the GS108T smart switch mainly to improve security and performance of my home network. After reading up on all the features, I was impressed with how easy it was to set up on my mostly consumer-grade network hardware. Even though it took a few tries and some googling to get the advanced features set up right, it will still work fine as a ‘dumb’ switch right out of the box on factory settings. There are much cheaper ‘dumb’ switches out there - but if you operate a SOHO network and are security-minded, or even if you’re a hobbyist who just likes to network all of your appliances together like myself, I would highly recommend this switch. It provides tons of functionality at a very reasonable price, and the compact form factor also fits nicely on a small desk or cabinet.
