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

Works great. Replaced an old router I was using as a switch. Speed increased immediately. I might have been able to reconfigure the old router better but this was a quick and easy solution.

Works as Advertised, looks like a quality unit. Cant believe i wated this long to actually get one, but it has made my home office networking much easier.

I had one Ethernet port and two devices. What to do... Oh I got it, get a switch. Why choose this switch you ask. Cause I had another one for a similar dilemma and it works. That one has worked for years keeping my xbox and bluray happy. Now I expect the same from this one for my PC and VOIP. Way to go Layer Two device!

Im planned to use the 2 I bought in a networked audio setup at my church, based on recommendation from the other product vendor. Unfortunately, I dont think they fully understood what I wanted to do. So, I keep them for spares and continue to swap cable connections manually.

It worked as we thought it would.

Excellent quality 5-port Ethernet switch with a great warranty and repair policy. I originally purchased this as a mistake not noticing it was a 10/100 or fast Ethernet with only 100 Mb/s speed. I decided to keep it since a $10 rebate was being offered by Netgear. I also thought it could easily be used for my entertainment devices - TV, DVD and Audio receiver since all of those devices have 100 Mb/s Ethernet ports. Using this switch between those 3 devices and the router has improved the efficiency of this segment of my network. Constant re-transmitting of packets due to packet collision errors is a thing of the past with this unit installed. The only complaint I have isnt about the device at all. I found it disturbing that Netgear would NOT honor their mail-in $10 rebate. They denied it saying only 1 rebate per household. Since I submitted their mail-in rebate for the gigabit switch (GS105NA 5-port), they would not honor the rebate for this switch. Not good. I would understand if I purchased two identical switches but that was not the case. I purchased two different models and each of them had a mail-in $10 rebate offered. I have used Netgear products for many years now and have always found them to be a very good company to work with. But in this particular rebate issue, I feel they are not treating me fairly at all. Their wording in the small print one rebate per household should only apply to the same item and not include a different item being purchased by a person in that household. Basically, I paid the same for this item that I did for their gigabit switch I mentioned above. If I would have known it would work out this way, I would have cancelled the order for this item. I found a good use for it with my home theater devices so the pain is reduced. It would be nice though if Netgear customer service contacted me and made good on their rebate especially since I have spent hundreds of dollars on their products over the last few years. I dont expect that to happen at all.

This works great with the Actiontec Ethernet over Coax Adapter Kit. I was able to hard wire both of my gaming consoles. No more wi-fi makes for better gaming without the lags.

A few years ago Broadband Internet service became availabe in my neighborhood. I ran a single Cat 5e cable from my upstairs computer room to my basement mounted router. (I prefer cat 5e connectivity over wifi). Recently I acquired a Macbook Pro laptop and I wanted to use it in the same computer room (not via wifi). I bought this Netgear switch to run both computers on the single Cat 5e cable at the same time. It works perfectly. Problem solved! Although cheaper switches were available, (you get what you pay for) I opted for this Netgear switch. It is very well made. Old school, small footprint (mountable) metal encloosure which I like. It comes with a lifetime warranty, whch I also like. Power cable plugs into the back, up to 5 ethernet cables in the front. Six Green LEDs on the front where the ethernet cables are indicate (1) power and (5) data activity. I checked my download/upload speeds before and after install and notice no difference. No brainer installation. Plug in power cable, plug in ethernet cables, turn stuff on and everything works. I love it! Its been running for 2 days now, 24/7 and stays cool to the touch, which I also like!!! I can use a couple more of these. Spend the extra few bucks for this one and you wont be dissapointed!

I used this to replace an older model of the same switch that quit working and It works great. This switch works well in extending an Ethernet router when you need more connections.

AMAZON ROCKS , this unit works fine as expected ! Gr8 price , fast S&H and plug n play too thanks
