Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Inexpensive, reliable equipment
I have been using a Netgear 24-port Gigabit switch ( Netgear JGS524NA ProSafe 24-Port Gigabit Rackmount Switch ) for about two years, and added this one in June 2008. Never had any problems, and as others have pointed out, pretty much plug-n-play; with auto uplink and small but readable lights, these are hassle free unmanaged switches. Our network consists of Macs, Linux, Windoze, and NAS boxes -- all seem to play well. I am also a big fan of the metal enclosures as they add a degree of sturdiness ... Read More
Rating: - Sturdy, fast, and "just works" - exactly what I want from a switch
Just like my trusty old FS116 I bought here on Amazon years ago and gave a glowing review to, this FS108 is cut from the same cloth. It features a nice, sturdy metal casing that doesn't creak or flex at all.
Like higher-end enterprise equipment, the LEDs are on the jacks so you can see which connection is what speed (or not working) without having to constantly turn the device around as with lower-end devices where the LEDs are on the front and the jacks on the rear. This makes debugging ... Read More
Rating:  - dies quickly
Works very well while alive, but I've seen 3 of these die already; average lifespan seems to be a shade under 2 years.
Rating: - Works as expected
This switch is exactly what I expected it to be: solid. Just like the other Netgear equipment I've used, the GS108 is completely hassle-free.
My whole house is wired Ethernet in no more time than it took to plug in the cables. I took it out of the box, plugged in the power cord, and plugged in connections and I was up.
It's idiot-proof, since all 8 ports automatically detect connection speed and uplink/downlink.
Indicator lights show which ports are in use, and at ... Read More
Rating:  - Average Performance - Short life
I had this average performing device for 11 months before it began behaving erratically. Netgear's out of US warranty service requires you to pay for shipping both the return and the REFURBISHED one that they send back to you.
I expected much more from Netgear and this device.
