Although the switch itself has a "lifetime" warranty, the power adapter is only warrantied for two years. Our failed after about 2.5 years, and Netgear charges $27.00 for a replacement with is closed to 30% of the cost of the switch.

I needed this small switch to install inside a wall mounted enclosure. It fit perfectly and has enough switch fabric to handle the throughput necessary for my project. Great little switch.

This is a nice unit that does all it suppose to. I chose the gigabit to pass on the higher speeds, so decide for you what is best. With so may devices going to the Internet, this helps spread it to the entire house and other access points (routers).

This is a tough switch. Our company's gear goes through hell during transport but this little guy can take the abuse... and then some!

Solid, robust construction; And fast too! Never had so much as a hiccup from this switch; I use it to run Cobranet between my PC and my company's line array PA system; It sits on top of 2 stacked subwoofers pounding at high SPL's and works/looks just as it did out of the box

Great Switch, works very well.

I needed another small gigabit switch for the network and this fit the bill perfectly netgear has a very good warranty they have taken care of my problems with any of their equipment in the past. I am happy with this 8 port gigbit switch especially for the price

Since the GS108 is an unmanaged switch, there's not much more to say about it, so I'll cut right to the testing. I tested using two systems running WinXP SP2 - one an Athlon 64 3000+ w/ 512 MB, the other a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 w/ 504 MB.

? Gigabit Ethernet with Jumbo Frame support for not a lot of

? Hard to tell if you're buying Jumbo Frame capable product

I purchase NetGear for all my networking components. While I've had issues with various components from NetGear, their switches have never failed me. I have only used it for about 1 month but I suspect it will perform as the other NetGear switches I have.

Very affordable 8 port gigabit switch. Needed this to expand/replace an old D-link from 2002. Conveniently the power adapter was the same helping to alleviate any need for routing cabling through the entertainment unit, just unplugged the old unit and plugged in the new Netgear.
