Pros: Simple. As an unmannaged switch the NETGEAR ProSafe JFS524 takes extremely little step time. Connect the switch to a router and other devices on the network with ethernet cables, give the switch power and it just works. Built-in power supply. The switch is powered with a standard IEC 320 power cable (computer power cable). No "wall wart" to loss or take up extra space on a power strip. Price. This is an older switch and by today's standards entry level switch. Hence this switch should be cheap to purchase. Cons: Not a Gigabit switch. This should be expected seeing this is an older switch. A little bulky. I've seen smaller 24 port switches before but most have external power supplies. Be ready to make room for this switch if you're replacing small eight port switches. For the price I paid for the NETGEAR ProSafe JFS524 (under $10) it's a really good value.Read full review
I currently have an 8 year old 24 port switch, and for $40, I purchased this unit as an insurance in case the original gives out. I tested it on two ports and it worked. It is now in my closet. If I never need it, so what? $40 is a cheap insurance policy.

This item was easy to set up and put into use. The price vs. performance makes it a good value. I have it for my home network.

does as an ethernet switch should. only complaint is i didnt get a manual with my used one and it took me ages to figure out that it is an auto-uplink, meaning it doesnt matter which port you plug the input into.

Switch was new in original box which was overpacked into a slightly larger box. It showed no shipping damage or even scuffing on the original box. Unpacked the switch, shut down my 16-port switch, put this one in using 20 0f the 24 ports, plugged it in. It came right up and is running now. I am happy.
