NETGEAR GS108 ProSafe (GS108-400NAS) 8 Port Standalone Gigabit Ethernet Switch

great little gigabit switch, practical and looks good

Just plug it in and go! Great little switch, pretty blinking lights, connectors on the front for easy access, rectangular metal box that lies flat and can be stacked, and sustains gigabit rates (unlike the TrendNet Green that it replaced, that didn't reach 200 mb/s). They also run cool and use very little power (I measured 3.4W). If you already pulled cat-5e cabling through your house, you can pick up a couple of these used for next to nothing.Read full review

High Failure Rate Switch

I've had 3 of these fail in 6 yrs. Originally installed by AT&T they just stop passing traffic. Just bought one off ebay and brand new it knocked off three computers and a printer. Replace with an alt brand, also plug and play and everything works fine. The 5 port ones don't seem to fail as much as i have3 of those with no problems ever.Read full review

Need to expand ports on your router? Get this, not another router.

What is there to say about this? It just works. By that I mean is there is no dancing around settings and router settings and troubleshooting to make this work like you would with a router, no bridging needed. It just simply works. I know some routers are easier to work with then others but this is simply plugging plugging in your Ethernet connectors and then it works. No garbage software, no need to flash your router for open source software just so it actually works, no dealing dealing with wifi and making sure one doesn't crash the other. No this one is actually plug and play.Read full review

Works well, but...

This is a very high quality switch, typical of Netgear, and works fine.

Just be aware that the CAT6 connectors and the lights indicating connection status are on the same side of the box, so if you want to see what's connected at what speed, you'll also have to look at and deal with all the cables going into the thing. Turning the business side away from you gives you a lovely view of the power connection plug and cable, and security lock hole in the back.

I knew all this going in, and so gave it five stars for performance.

But in a home environment, the thing is just unattractive sitting on a desk no matter how you turn it. Netgear's less expensive plastic home-style routers, with only status lights in the front and all connections in the back may serve you better in a home office environment.Read full review

Faster and More Secure Ethernet Switch

The Netgear Prosafe GS108PE Prosafe 8 port Gigabit Ethernet Switch was purchased to replace a Netgear FS108 10/100 - 8 port Ethernet Switch that was up-linked to a GS105 Prosafe 5 port Ethernet Switch. As you can imagine, this setup was causing traffic issues. This switch allowed for me to cleanup the wiring and speedup my connections without using an up-link, and with enhanced security and speed I needed. I would recommend this product,Read full review

Good Quality

My previous Ethernet switch had one port failure so I purchased the new Netgear GS 108. After doing a lot of research, I decided this product was the best for the money. This Netgear switch is the latest version available. It took me less than two minutes to transfer over the jacks to the new switch.Read full review

Just Works

The beauty of a good enet switch is not having to remember you have one. I plugged this one in in place of a dysfunctional one and have forgot it's there. Working fine and the price was great.
