Digital camera reviews of NETGEAR FS105NA Switch 5Port Metal
Digital camera Review: Excellent Switch
Summary: 5 Stars
This switch has been a pleasant surprise. I have a cable that runs from a router in my house to my office which is located in a separate building behind the house. The switch is in my office and performs flawlessly. I have a desktop connected to the switch and am able to transfer large files with ease. I have a phone system connected to it that works better than my landline. I have a wireless access point connected to it for the use of my netbook which is located on the opposite side of my office. This has been a unexpectedly useful investment.Digital camera Review: Excellent, inexpensive switch for home networking
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this product by Netgear to be very effective in setting up a home network. I switch between a PC using Windows ME and two laptops running Windows 98; the system works very quickly in moving data between systems. In addition, I use the switch to control access to the Internet from these machines. the value of a switch over a hub is that it grants almost your entire internet bandwidth to the machine requesting it; it moves faster than a hub.
The other great thing about this switch is that it is small; doesn't take up a lot of space, and works reliably.
Digital camera Review: FS-105 is a Poor Product.
Summary: 1 Stars
This product needs a larger backplane to handle a network. I have encountered delays and lost signals with this switch. I asked tech support why this was happening and they told me that this switch could not handle large file transfers. That's too bad because now I'm going to return this product.Digital camera Review: Fast router, flexible, design is a bit uncomfortable for me.
Summary: 4 Stars
I originally had a hub, and when I realized that I wasn't getting anywhere near the throughput I would get with a switch, the obvious choice was netgear. the switch is fast, slick looking, and has LED's to tell you everything about your connections. the downside? design. the ethernet cables plug into the front of the unit, while the power cord plugs into the back. the problem here is that if your ethernet cables are as flexible as warm butter, they get in the way of the led's or each other. when i plugged three cables in, the box sat to the side because the weight of the cable held up up. if you are going to wall mount the unit (it comes with screws to do so) then that might help, but if you are going to set it on your desk, the ethernet cables have to run from the front of it, instead of behind... the unit also gets warm, so make sure you have clearance on all sides so it gets air. otherwise, despite the design issues, the product is slick. has led for 10/100mb, full duplex, collisions, and the 5th port doubles as an uplink.... for fast networking netgear makes a quality product.Digital camera Review: First time using a netgear, I love it!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I do a lot of networking with other businesses (Linksys and belkin) love the Linksys and the belkin both.
I am very happy with this switch, it workes great without problems (sofar), connects easely and smoothly with-out trouble.
I love this switch.
It says, connect and use, I just connected all the cables, with in seconds, it was working GREAT with no problems.
I recomend this to anyone.
If anything goes wrong, I will update.
