Review of NETGEAR ProSafe FS108 10/100 Desktop Switch - switch - 8 ports by
phucco
Advantages: Fast, Reliable switching, Wall mountable, Solid piece of kit
Disadvantages: None!
...leccy bills. The transformer has Netgear written on it, which is nice.
Packaging
It came in a lovely box, but I noticed they spelt "installation" with only 1 l, so minus points for that. It came with a host of information about setting it up and wall mounting it, and it came with a form to send off for your warranty. I forget how many years it was for, possibly three.
The Netgear website has a world of technical information about this, and their ...

Basic but good at what it does
Review of NETGEAR ProSafe FS108 10/100 Desktop Switch - switch - 8 ports by
AndreBoyle
Advantages: Cheap, Good build
Disadvantages: Lack of features
all too often in these days of heavy internet useage are things related to networking bumped-up in price due to their 'distributed-team' and 'data-flow facilitating' properties. so it's nice for a changed to see a good quality switch come in at a low price (Sub £150).
Sure it's got a low feature-set but to be honest all you want in a good low-cost switch is the ability to segment your network at speeds up to 100MB and let it go at that. Extra ...

Hot switch!
Review of NETGEAR ProSafe FS108 10/100 Desktop Switch - switch - 8 ports by
PhilSp
Advantages: very compact
Disadvantages: runs hot
...have to say that the Netgear stuff runs hot! I have to put a PII heatsink on it! - even though it has vent slots around it - it does got hot during the summer, and just nice and warm during the winter.
It has link lights for all ports, and FDX lights for all ports too. ACtivity lights/collision you name it it has it.
It has lots of lights for everything - so you know exactly whats being used on you entire network. It also has a 'auto HDX/FDX' ...

Solid switch at affordable price
Review of NETGEAR ProSafe FS108 10/100 Desktop Switch - switch - 8 ports by
waga
Advantages: small, metallic, dissipates heat quickly, auto mdi-x
Disadvantages: gets hot during summer
Well, there isn't much to say about this switch... except that when i bought them, they were well over £200! (about 3 years ago)
As for transfer rates, with a 100mb full duplex switch, you should be able to copy a 650mb file in under 5-6 minutes. Full duplex meaning it can send and receive data simultaneously, theoretically boosting the speed to 200mb. Of course this is all theoretical, and samba over ethernet is only 50-60% efficient. If you transfer ...
