NETGEAR 8-Port 2.5G Multi-Gig Ethernet Easy Smart Managed Switch (MS308E)

2.5-GIGABIT ETHERNET PORTS: Features 8 x 2.5Gbps Multi-Gig Ethernet ports for high-speed connectivity. Auto-negotiating ports detect the optimal speed for connected devices and work with existing Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables.

EASY SMART MANAGED NETWORK SWITCH: Intuitive software interface offers Easy Smart Managed Essentials capabilities to configure VLANs, prioritize traffic with QoS, monitor ports, and manage network security for small businesses.

FLEXIBLE MOUNTING OPTIONS: Compact metal design supports desktop or wall-mount placement for versatile installation.

SILENT & ENERGY-EFFICIENT OPERATION: Fanless design ensures silent performance, while IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet reduces power consumption without compromising high-speed network performance.

REGIONAL COMPATIBILITY: Made for use in U.S. & CA only

The NETGEAR MS308E is an 8-port 2.5G Multi-Gigabit Easy Smart Managed Essentials switch built for small businesses and advanced home networks ready to move beyond standard Gigabit speeds. It bridges the gap between plug-and-play simplicity and intelligent network control, ideal for powering high-performance workstations, WiFi 6 access points, IP cameras, and lag-free gaming across all 8 ports simultaneously. This is a Layer 2 switch only. It does not support inter-VLAN routing; a separate router or Layer 3 switch is required to route traffic between VLANs. Configure and manage through the built-in web browser interface from any computer on the network. No app required. Supports up to 64 port-based and 802.1Q tagged VLANs for traffic segmentation, QoS for traffic prioritization, port mirroring for many-to-one network monitoring, loop detection, IGMP snooping, cable testing, and link aggregation. All 8 ports auto-negotiate at 100Mbps, 1G, or 2.5G and work with existing Cat5e or Cat6 cables. 40Gbps non-blocking switching bandwidth eliminates bottlenecks even during heavy usage. Compact metal case supports desktop or wall-mount installation. Fanless design ensures silent operation in typical environments, ideal for noise-sensitive spaces like desktops and conference rooms. For use in the United States and Canada only. Engineered by NETGEAR, over 30 years of networking innovation.
