Product Description
Netgear Model FS108 8 port 10100 autosensing switch external power supply FS108UK Networks Switches Hubs
Difficult to fault this product. It's small, flat, runs completely silently and simply bounces your packets around to all your wired devices. Very simple to use, just plug it in and go.
I got a netgear because I have had 50Mb Broadband installed by virgin media and wanted to take a cat 5 cable from their NETGEAR hub box they provided, to this Netgear FS108 and distribute to a wired network to a number of computers. I plugged it in and after switching one or two boxes off and on it started working fine.
That's it. I 've never had to bother with it again.
I ordered this to distribute Network around my home and cables could be put in as part of renovation works. It is a very neat, small unit with an external power supply provided, but does just what it says on the box. Very simple to set up, one feed in and seven out. I located in the loft space which made it easy to drop cables down the walls into the required rooms.
