Customer Reviews
Very simple and solid 
2007-01-30
To set up this switch required just plugging in and it worked. Since I've installed it, I have not had to touch it once. I am very happy with this product.
Netgear switches rock! 2006-02-17
We now use nothing other than Netgear switches for all our small-mid sized networking requirements. They are solid reliable and work in all conditions.

These work great. I buy quite a few of these a year for use in our IT department.
Great Switch 2005-10-16
This is one of the better switches I have owed. The auto uplink works great. I accidently plugged in a cross over to one of my computers and it worked just fine. This is a great switch for anyone needing a small switch.
Power Problems 
2005-09-03
The power connector on my FS108 is very sensitive - try to shift the unit or move the power cord in any way and it goes into a fit, flashing all lights and all connected devices indicate they have lost their network connection. My friend reports the same problems with his. Mine is being relegated to the spares drawer as soon as I purchase a replacement - not another Netgear. A shame, it is otherwise a nice switch.

reliable switch at a good price

I have purchased many switches and have found the Netgear ones such as this 8 port to be very dependable. As with all lan switches however, even these are vulnerable to electrical surges so they should be installed behind high quality surge protection.
Netgear FS108, quiet, cool, easy 2005-07-21
Please note that they are and apparently have been shipping a later model than that pictured/described. The box is marked ProSafe 8 Port Fast Ethernet Switch FS108 v2. The unit is smaller (6'W x 4"D x 1"H), in a metalcase and has an external power supply (wall wart). Here is a link to HP's site;

It requires no configutation to set up as all ports are auto sensing for speed (10/100Mbps) and Auto Uplink for connection to PC, Modem (cable/DSL), or other devices with either straight or crossover cables. Simply plug and play in about 5 to 10 minutes.
Speed tests indicate no change in upload/download for my PC. It runs very cool as opposed to reports on other Netgear models. Have only had it installed a short time so I have no reliability info. Note that the warranty on the unit is quite long (5 years unit, 2 years power adapter)
it's good, but pls get 2A power supply instead 2004-07-12
I purchased this switch 3 years ago
happy with it, however, the supplied power adaptor seems not to provide enough current, it runs hot
it seems to have more current power adaptor to run (at least 2A, do not use the supplied adaptor)
now I install it vertically on the wall, just warm to touch (just use 3 out of 8)
for more stable operation, a stronger power supply is recommended (at least 12-15V 2A)
Great and solid performance 2002-05-20
An incredible product, currently running on a home linux network, works great and stays up and working for long, even for burning CD-ROMs through NFS... Great product!
