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

This is absolutely packed with features! It does all the usual QOS , VLAN and link aggregation but also does 802.1X port based radius authentication and is really easy to configure.

The switch feels like a quality switch. I mounted it on a wall close to the router. It requires no setup; so it could not be simpler to use. I operated it for two months prior to posting this review.

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

These days everything but the toaster has a network connection, so you'll quickly fill up the four ports on your router. A switch can be the perfect solution, adding eight, 16 or even more ports, along with other useful features such as PoE and LACP. We tested 12 of them.

What if it's too expensive to buy a manageable switch but it's still necessary to separate telephony from other traffic in a small office? Usually it's typical to use smart switches that allow gaining control over the network with only a slight increase in the price of equipment.

Management simplicity; The presence of a cable tester; Protection against loops and broadcast storms; Traffic QoS support; Virtual networks support; Moderate size; Protection against simple DoS-attacks; Affordable price; Lifetime warranty from the vendor

The impossibility of connecting four PoE clients with maximum power consumption simultaneously; The absence of the Russian language in the interface of the management utility; The impossibility of turning the switch port on or off; setting its speed and duplex manually and to disable protection
