"Great little network switch,"

This switch has been a great addition to my network . It allows for fast transfer sppeds and i have been using for over 3 months now with no problems. Unluckily it is not wall mountable which would have been useful, but it comes with some legs which can be used to stand it on its side.
Pros:
  • Sleek
  • small
  • easy to use
Cons:
  • Not wall mountable

Device is a switch, not a router

Contrary to one of the other reviews, this is a switch, not a router. I have had mine for a while (longer then the warranty) and have had at least one port go bad. Others seem to continue to work. I have both 1GB and 10/100 devices connected.
Pros:
  • 1GB
Cons:
  • 1 port failed

Updates on Jumbo Frames and GS608

An update on using Jumbo Frames (> 1514 bytes per frame) with this product. According to the Netgear site the V1 version of this (non-firmware upgradeable product) did NOT support Jumbo packets.

Works great

Works great, gives me much needed network ports. Fast. Small and shiny. Pretty compact for 8 ports. Numbered lights on front display different colors based on 100Mbit or Gigabit.

Just installed this product, delighted! Everything sets up as it should, no problems (1 Caveat though - see below). Of course, Gigabit networking makes all those Multimedia file transfers sooooo much faster.
