NETGEAR 5-Port Fast Ethernet 10/100 Unmanaged Switch (FS105NA) - Desktop, and ProSAFE Limited Lifetime Protection,Blue

Perfect for my network at home. I will buy these many more times.

As expected

Pros: Cheap effective switch for most users Handy to have in any Network Techs bag Good value when it works, which is most of the time Amazons most excellent return policy :) Cons: Does not work with every network device. In my case it worked with every PC and net device in my house EXCEPT my desktop PC, which it would not link with. Netgears tech support is less useful than breasts on a boar (Hows the weather in India today?). I could not get the phone support dude past The problem must be with your PC, but my PC works with everything EXCEPT YOUR SWITCH! Problems like this suggest loose component tolerances that result in timing errors preventing a link between devices. Other Thoughts: Replaced with

Very nice, simple plug in and go!!

I bought this little switch to run either my BluRay player or my Logitech Review from one ethernet cable which runs from my router. Build quality is good and it works great. I would recommend it.

Allows me to connect all the consoles hardliners but only connect the console that I am using so the speeds don’t slow unless multiple consoles are on, the switch will shut off ports not in use

Junk, Only one ethernet port worked. Tech support sucked. Will stay away from net gear. Purchased a china model for 10.00 cheaper and it works great.

As described!

I needed more ports on my home network - the router was full. Just plugged this into the router and plugged in all the additional devices and poof - everything worked. Well, I did need to reboot my router after plugging everything in, it got a bit confused, but everything works perfectly.

Just as specified and ordered
