5 of 5 Fast, Easy, Works! Sunday, February 22, 2009
Leo from Kalamazoo, MI
Looks like they've resolved the power issues that the other reviewers described below from years past. Not much to know or do with a network switch besides hook it up and they always seem to work. This one works fine and is a great value from a name brand company. I connected all of my AT&T Uverse TVs to this switch. I bought my first FS108 last year and it's still working great. This is my second FS108 and it worked great out of the box. I highly recommend this model. Was this review helpful?

2 of 5 Seems to be a bad product Thursday, November 20, 2003
Jeff from Tampa, FL
I purchased this item several months ago, and recently half the ports just stopped working. Seems there are lots of small problems with this unit from what I have read. The unit was still covered under Netgear's warranty, but they sent me back a very old model, that looked horrible. I am currently in the middle of trying to get a NEW replacement. My overall opinion, buy another brand. There should not be this many problems with a switch. Was this review helpful?

1 of 5 Power supplies die like Sea Monkeys Wednesday, August 13, 2003
Rob V. from Portland, Oregon
I've been through five models and three versions of the Netgear FS 108 Fast Etherswitch and have had seven power supplies die on me in the last two years, and no luck finding a replacement supply, from Netgear (or whomever owns Bay Networking) nor an after-market one. The three versions all have different power requirements. How hard is it to sell a piece of hardware like this and spend the extra $3 for a decent power supply that'll last 20 years.
Linksys gets my business exclusively now and always will. Anyone need some powerless Netgear switches? Was this review helpful?

2 of 5 OK Unit, problem power supply Thursday, July 03, 2003
A Customer from Irvine, CA
Interesting reading the other reviews describing problems with the power supply. I also had an FS108 which worked fine until the power supply died. The power supply appears to cost over $20, and nobody has one. I think I'll try a different brand this time.
The switch itself seems fine, a small, utilitarian design with the ports and LED's all on the front of the unit. Port #8 has an uplink button to switch between connection to a host or to another switch or hub. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Exellent office/home switch from Netgear!!! Friday, May 24, 2002
Lisandrogrullon from Bronx, NY
Switches are becoming very popular this days since the hubs are becoming obsolete in collition of packets. I just got the Netgear FS108 and it seem to be a wonderfull product in all aspects. It comes with 8 ports in aliment shape to keep track of cables in line as well Netgear include LED's in each of the ports "I guest to ensure connectivity between the connector of the cable and the actual port". This product comes with a uplink bottom whcih allow one to have a dedicated port for DSL sharing it with the rest of the network.In the same way Netgear bunddle a 5 years warranty of replacement. If you are interesting in a switch that will use a true 10/100Mb/s network trafic and is easy to use as well as an economical invesment from a respected company, I would surelly recoment you buy the Netgear FS108. Exellent product at a exellent price!!! Was this review helpful?

2 of 5 No mistake, flimsy power supply/connector. Wednesday, May 22, 2002
A Customer from South Windsor, CT
I have several of these switches over here and ALL OF THEM have really bad power connector. Even tiniest movement disconnects it. Also, two of them are lying broken on the shelf as their power supplies just went bad (all equipment protected with UPSes). So if you're looking for any sort of reliability, do not buy these.

3 of 5 Good switch, while it works Wednesday, March 06, 2002
drewish from reno, nv
I used to really like Netgear stuff, it was a good value and just worked. Maybe this switch was just a lemon but after owning it for a year or so the power connector started to go out. It would just reset itself when some tiny vibration jiggled it. It finally got so bad that the switch would just sit there tweaking out in reset mode. I guess I should have gotten the extended warranty, or a different switch. Was this review helpful?
