Weaknesses: Power supply design. Summary: Netgear makes the most reliable home and small office networking products on the market. The switch performed flawlessly and works with either patch or crossover cables. The power supply design is unnecessarily bulky making it difficult to use in combination with other adaptors on powerstrip type surge protectors. 100% of People (2/2) found this review helpful.

keviny Member Since: Mar 2006 View Member's: Reviews	Netgear FS105 Strengths: Stable Weaknesses: None Summary: This switch is plug and play and works right out of the box. It's very quiet and great throughput. It's small enough to hide under the desk. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are no comments for this review.

aakk Member Since: Dec 2006 View Member's: Reviews	Netgear 10/100 5 Port Dual Speed Switch RJ-45 w/ Auto Uplink Strengths: easy to install and trouble-free Weaknesses: speed Summary: This product is easy to install. Just plug and play then it works. It runs flawlessly 24 hours a day and 7 days a week from day one and there is no any issue. I am pretty happy about this. However, the speed is not quite gigabit. It can reach over 100M but far away from 100M. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are no comments for this review. Post a comment.

ntlgman from OH Member Since: Jul 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Day	Reliable Network Switch Strengths: Sturdy, small housing. Simple and easy to use. Doesn’t really generate much heat. Robust metal case, heavy weight makes it won't slide. Weaknesses: None so far, except a bit pricey. Summary: I’ve bought couple Netgear switches now and have been very happy with them, especially this one. I bought this one because of its reliability and it never disappoints me. What can I say? If you are looking for a solid network switch and willing to pay a little bit more, you should consider this one. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

babymaya from OR Member Since: Aug 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Weeks	5 port switch - good value Strengths: warranty - no fan Weaknesses: case can get hot but it seems to act as a heatsink Summary: this unit appears to be for business use than home use. the switch (not a hub) manages traffic on a network and allows and manages the data that flows. this unit has leds for active connections as well as data collisions (nice to look at but not terribly useful as you will likely not have collisions). Unit is heavy enough so multiple cables won't tip the unit. They also include plastic anchors and screws if you want to attach the unit rather than let it sit loose. It is a good switch.

ryk1998 from WA Member Since: Oct 2004 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Weeks	Netgear 5 port switch Strengths: great construction, useful led indicators Weaknesses: leds and ports on same side Summary: Very good product for connecting a couple of home computers in a small network or connecting them to a common internet connection. For MOST people don't be tempted to buy gigabit speed switches - this is more than adequate for the majority of users. Paid $12 after rebate as of October 2007. Good value. The case is metal and the power block is good quality as well. I would recommend this unit. Does what it should at a reasonable price. This is not a managed switch - it simply routs traffic.

mgcby from NY Member Since: Apr 2004 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Weeks	It is not cheap, but stable Strengths: Stable, easy to install, great case (metal) Weaknesses: Simple manual, expensive Summary: 2008-02-13 11:18:06 It is great switch, not cheap, but steady, great case from metal, can be attached on the wall. The size ?, small. It is come with simple manual, but actualy you don't need that. Dual speed 10-100, but you will never use it. Very light though. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?
