Build Quality
Customers highly praise the build quality of the NETGEAR 5 Port PoE Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switch, with many noting its solid and sturdy construction, industrial integrity, and long-term reliability.

Price
99 and given the 123w think its a great price to value.
Management- the fact that its actually manageable at this price.
The other thing that costs this a half star is the ridiculous external power supply.
Update: i liked the 5 port so much and was hoping it would come back on sale but saw the 8 port for $79.
Shipping
I received it on time, i am very satisfied with my purchase.
Switch was delivered promptly and just plain works as expected.
Works as promised and delivered as promised.
Competitiveness
