NETGEAR FS108 8 Port Fast Ethernet Switch with Auto Uplink (10/100
Features 8 ports of 10/100 Full-duplex ability. It comes in very durable metal casing and feels somewhat heavy. It is truly plug and play. Compared to my generic (TrendNet 5-port 10/100 full-duplex switch) it blows it out of the water. I get better pings across my home network and when loaded with 7 computers transfering files at 100mBits full-duplex it shines! The only con is that it runs HOT! Be sure to place it where it can breathe and not next to anything heat-sensitive.
Simple Plug and Play
Rating: 5/5
Nice little Ethernet switch box. No set up required. Just plug it into an Ethernet network. It appears to work just as advertised; I can transfer files between computers at near 100 Mbps. Note that although the model number has remained FS108, my newer box purchased Mar-2002, has a small power brick and runs nice and cool. I had an older FS108 that had a way bigger power brick and ran hotter than you would expect, as mentioned in earlier reviews.
it's good, but pls get 2A power supply instead
Rating: 4/5
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)
