Excellent fast & cheap used switch. Commercial quality metal case, desktop or easy to hang on wall w screw slots provided.

Working well so far. All I needed was an unmanaged router so all the advanced features I'm not using right now, i've Always trusted the Netgear name and they haven't let me down.

people dont give netgear enough credit for setting standards, but they should. sure you can get another 8 port gigabit switch for $19 but it doesn't have as much memory or processing power which slows down the performance of the switch.

I purchased this switch a while back to replace a broken L2 managed big name switch which was way more expensive and it did a great job handling transfers, sharing of resources and even sensing and distributing links to all the pcs, printers and servers.

-Easy to use auto sensing uplink ports; -Its 10/100/1000 transfer speed capabilities; -Works well with any router to provide optimal network speeds; -Grounding point included

-No cooling for long period of full load usage; -No grounding cable included; -No 1U rack mount kit included

This 8 ports switch worked so well for me. There was no problem since I bought this product a few months ago. Easy to set up. Just plug and play. Files transfer between several computers in the network are very fast.

Work so well with other branch

none

Mine's been running perfectly for 18 months, now. I plugged it in and it has done everything I've asked of it over that time without the slightest problem.

100/1000Mbps is the only switch to use for home use. Metal case and low-cost ($8/port) makes the GS108 a no-brainer.

Solid; metal case; 1Gbps; simple to use

Non-manageable - minor issue for home use

High quality switch. Got it to replace sisiter in laws cheap junk plastic switch that failed. Just saw that it went on sale today for $20 less than I paid for it. That is a huge discount on a $37 item. Oh well, had to buy it when I needed it. Stll happy with item that works and is rock solid!

Well there isn't much to say about this switch. I've bought 4 of these and they are all working fine. This is basically the big brother of the FS108 switch. The FS108 is 100mb Full duplex switch ( full duplex meaning it can send and receive data at the same time), which theoretically gives 200mb...

small compact size; metallic body; passive cooling=no noise

gets a bit hot during summer

...and also died. There seems to be a common problem with these, which manifests itself as the "little blinking lights of death". But it's from the ProSafe range, and has a lifetime warranty.
