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

Works perfectly

Never got above 50mbps using just 1 output. Not once... while Im averaging a tad above 200mbps from router so it should be at 100mbps at the switch but it seems it cant and wont do it. Disappointed. Looks like Ill have to do all dedicated runs in my home theater from the other room.

So far so good.

Needed to branch out the network. This got the job done. No fuss no muss.

I have it for long time and still working great

This Netgear Ethernet 5-port switch makes plug and play easy for novices. Great product design and compactness doesnt require much space.

So far, I am impressed with this switch. The small footprint and the ease of installation is really something to behold. It has been reliable as well, as a small, unmanaged switch should be. I debated on whether to get a gigabit switch or a fast ethernet (100Mbps) switch. I decided to be cheap and went for this little switch. I also have an old 10Mbit ethernet switch by Netgear; that only had four sockets, and one had to be designated for uplink. That little switch was the part of a reason for taking the Netgear, though; it was small, and it was reliable. In that regard, the switch did not disappoint. What did disappoint me was, though, the fact that file transfers between two peer computers (i.e. not to the Internet) took longer than expected. The peak transfer rate could not go beyond 10MB/s; that is expected, and totally fine for my DSL (and for streaming from one computer to another, to an extent) but I found it to be sluggish, as the transfer rate I had from an external USB to hard drive could go for 30MB/s or higher. I gave full marks due to the fact that it was a great switch for its class. The problem is, though, that the class itself is showing signs of age. For those of you who would like to set up a home server, I recommend you make a jump to the realm of gigabit ethernet.

Worked exactly as expected...

This is my third one of these and I am very happy with their function and dependability. I have them at the end of several long runs and my data and entertainment network (Computer and TiVo) work flawlessly.

I purchased this Ethernet Desktop Switch since I ran out of ethernet ports on my existing switch. It was easy to setup and the instructions were clear. If works great. I highly recommend this product.
