Power-Packed
Moves huge files fast! Features a high-speed, auto-switching 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connection. And because Copper Gigabit Ethernet is a full duplex standard, you can get up to 2000 Mbps on each port.
Capable
Integrates 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps devices on the same network. Every port automatically senses the right speed and full/half duplex mode, while Auto Uplink technology automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables.
Accommodating
LEDs embedded in each of the 8 RJ-45 jacks make for easy monitoring. Space-saving dimensions are ideal for desktop or wall mounting in home and small office environments. And it runs quietly, self-cooling without an internal fan.
Solid
Strong, durable metal case securely protects the switch’s working parts. The GS108 is made to last and NETGEAR backs it with a solid warranty: switch - 5 years, power supply - 2 years.

I've had one of these for a while now, and recently suffered what is known as the "Blinking lights of death" problem where the switch stops working and all the LEDS blink on and off.
If you search for this problem (flashing LEDs GS108 etc) you'll soon find that it's not a matter of "if" this happens but "when", however the process is sped up by having more than 2 devices attached to it.
The problem is caused by Netgear using two poor quality (perhaps under specified?) electrolytic capacitors in the switch. These fail and cause the switch to stop working. Repairing these isn't a major task if you're comfortable with de-soldering/soldering etc but frankly you shouldn't be forced to be a position of having to even consider this!
Do a search on problems regarding this switch before you purchase one at least you'll then be unsurprised when it eventually fails.
I should say though, the switch does perform as advertised when it's working..

I'm currently on my second switch, the first having had a problem with the power socket at the back. I inserted the power plug, power/port LEDs lit up, moved the plug slightly, LEDs flickered on and off. On inspection, it looks as if the socket either had a dubious solder joint or had missed soldering completely. Not what I expect from a supposedly professional quality Netgear product. To their credit, Amazon replaced it within a couple of days and the replacement seems to be working fine. I've seen traffic at both 100Mbps and 1Gbps between the various devices on my home LAN without problems. Build quality (excepting the power socket problem) is excellent.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I like the Netgear Gigabit Switches because they are fanless (admittedly more common these days) and the ports are on the front, which suits my needs.

Just what I wanted
Well put together solid unit. Metal case and new more efficient external power supply. Comes with a lifetime warranty so don't worry about it popping after a couple of years.

Fantastic Customer Service from Netgear
Like a couple of the other reviews my switch also failed. However, a quick call to NG support for an RMA and the next day they sent someone round to pick up the faulty switch. Read more

Good for a while
The GS108 worked ok for 18 months, and then failed in a similar manner to a previous reviewer. I did a quick search on the internet, and this appears to be a not uncommon problem.

Good while it works
Worked fine for a few months then died flashing all of its lights on and off. Apparently mine is far from being the first. Back to Netgear this goes. Won't be buying another.
