Digital camera reviews of NETGEAR FS108 ProSafe 8-Port 10/100 Desktop SwitchDigital camera Review: Best Hub on the Market Summary: 5 Stars
After running out of ports on my Netgear 4 Port 10 Mbs that has been a solid performer for 10 years. There was no doubt in my choice for an upgrade. Not only did it improve my ability to move files across my Lan, but it improved my Lan Multiplayer games. Also it improved my Internet speed on all my PC's.
It is still small and compact enough to mount it inside my phone company's cabinet in the basement so the connections from the router to it, and to my built in home lines only need 12" Cat 5 cables. Many other brands are so big they would have needed to mount elsewhere with 6 ft cables or longer. What a mess that would have been.
