NETGEAR 300 Series Gigabit Ethernet
unmanaged switches offer an array of
features that make them the ideal choice
for providing easy, reliable, and affordable
network connectivity for home and small
offices. With the convenience of plugand-play operation, these unmanaged
switches provide seamless connectivity to
multiple devices without the need for
complex configuration. The switches are
designed to be energy-efficient, ensuring
power savings while maintaining optimal
network performance.

The NETGEAR 300 Series switches are
available in 5, 8, 24, or 48 port models to
meet the demands of a growing network.
Instead of stacking multiple lower port
models and your network grows, the
higher port models ensure maximum
scalability by reducing switch congestion.
With their plug-and-play operation,
energy-efficient technology, non-blocking
switching architecture, and durable metal
case, the NETGEAR 300 Series Gigabit
Ethernet unmanaged switches offer a
