Digital camera reviews of NETGEAR GS105 ProSafe 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Desktop Switch - 10/100/1000 Mbps
Digital camera Review: Ruins my network
Summary: 1 Stars
I have been gradually upgrading my home network to full-on Gigabit, and this little piece of junk was the last thing standing in my way. No more.
I have the GS105v2 (from a while ago), and while I believed it was the first step to gigabit nirvana, it proved itself to be the last step preventing me from reaching nirvana. When I removed it from the network, I finally enjoyed all the speed I'd been paying for.
My now-working network consists of an ASUS RT-N16 Wireless-N Gigabit Router, a pair of TRENDnet 8-Port Gigabit GREENnet Switch (8 x 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation, Auto-MDIX Gigabit Ethernet Ports) TEG-S80G, and an HP ProCurve Switch 1810G-8 - Switch - managed - 8 ports - Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet - 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 1000Base-T - 1U - external, and now I've got Gigabit actually working. When I insert the Netgear into the mix, it lies by telling me that it's made a gigabit connection, and proceeds to throttle traffic such that a 2GB file transfer would take over an hour (instead of under a minute). Bad!
Digital camera Review: Simple Little Switch
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed a simple gigabit switch for my DSL home network and this did the trick effortlessly. No software to install. The wired capability ensures the security of my network from others. Price was right and it was delivered within a couple of days. How easy is that?Digital camera Review: Simple and it works - Intellimatic Inc
Summary: 4 Stars
Good switch for the price. Auto sensing works well. seems fast enough and easy to use. This is not a smart switch so you will not be able to monitor activity. Connections are in the front, back connections would have been better to hide the wiring. You may hear a slight high pitched noise when plugged in. Good value for a consumer product. Commercial applications should consider other higher end switches.Digital camera Review: Simple tool works perfectly
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not a complicated device ... but it does work perfectly which makes it invaluable. Great speed. Great deviceDigital camera Review: Simple, dependable switch. No mess, no fuss.
Summary: 5 Stars
For years and years Netgear has been producing a line of metal enclosed unmanaged (read no need to mess around with configuration) network switches. This line of metal enclosed Netgear switches have a proven track record -- I've used a dozen of them over the years without encountering any problems.
This 5-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch continues this flawless track record. I picked up two of these 5-port switches to ensure that my newly wired-for-Gigabit house maintains Gigabit speed on my internal wired network, only dropping to 100Mb/s Ethernet when network traffic crosses onto my router and then upstream to my DSL modem and beyond.
The Switch is small and light enough to be stashed out of the way attached to the side of a desk with the included mounting screws. The switch has two keyholes cut in the base of the unit. If you carefully position the two included screws in a vertical or horizontal surface (to mount on the underside of a table) then the switch will slide onto the screws to securely hang the switch.
