Saw one of these at one of the places I worked and was impressed by it, so I bought my own. It's a fast, unmanaged switch and it works flawlessly. Very happy.

PROS: Out of the box, hooked up and working in 5 minutes! I was pleased to get the features and benefits of the NetGear product and a great price. I use it in my entertainment system to share the wi-fi signal. Works great.

My network consists of an old Pentium II computer as a router. I use this netgear GS105 gigabit switch as a backbone for my entire network and so far it has proved itself worthwhile. The compact device plows through large file transfers accross the network with ease and it has never went down once.

I remember when an 8 port hub cost £100. This is silly speed for silly money. Works great with a Netgear gigabit NIC also from ebuyer and onboard abit IC7-MAX3 NIC. Make sure your patch cables are Cat5e or better. Brilliant.

Have had very few issues with these phones in an enterprise environment. Can set up DHCP-enabled VOIP phones, dual-sub net development workstations, this switch handled it all.

They won't honor their lifetime warranty. You can't make a claim via web/email, you have to call them, sit on eternal hold, and apparently be told your device is out of warranty. Even after repeatedly questioning about the lifetime warranty all they want to do is sell you an expensive phone support...

The switch does its job. Delivers gigabit speed in a small metal case. The version I received supports jumbo packets, full duplex and auto-uplink. I purchased the GS108 and the GS105 and they both perform well. The switch would be appropriate for business use because of the solid construction.

Rugged metal construction; small profile; runs cool for gigabit switch; ease of setup

Some may prefer plastic cases with cables in back

This switch works exactly as expected! It was either get a new router, a hub, or a switch...opted for the switch because I liked that it dedicates ports to each attached unit and not share between them. Works like a charm..

The sales staff was great they listened to my needs and picked this one for me. It works Great, does everything I was looking for and gives me the speed I was very concerned about keeping. It is small and can easily be mounted out of the way on the wall on the back of a desk or filling cabinet,.
