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

Needs rebooted too often. Should have purchased a managed switch.

great

Netgear has become a name I can trust, as a result I am a Netgear Superfan, speaking up on brand loyalty whenever I get the chance. I run two of these in my house to add on for the Main TV setup in the living room with wired connections to a ROKU 3, the TV, and a PS4 (Plus extra outlet for JIC the Roku doesnt work on video playback, I bring out the WD live player) This setup has served me tried and true for several years, it is also the solution I use for all of my customers. Great solution for a great price, just be sure to keep it in an area that has cooling, as with any electronics they will work but excessive heat can burn out things real quick and shorten a product life.

I recently purchased a Securewifi Almond router, which I absolutely love. However, it only provided me with two Ethernet ports. After extensive research I decided to purchase this Netgear switch. It works well, no drop in signal and is exactly what I needed. I also got a $10 rebate which made it an even better deal. Although, its still a great product even at full price!

Awesome delivery time, product was described perfectly, will shop again!!!!

Hello I have a question I have two laptops, one External Hard drive, usb printer, and a pc. i would like to share files among these computers send it to the printer and all. I dont mind havinf wired. My question is what is the best choice? Hub? Switch? router? i dont know the difference. and i dont want to spend over $50. can someone please make recommendation, how to hook these devices and computers up together? maybe suggest a product? Thank you for your time.

This Ethernet switch worked exactly as planned. Switches are simple pieces of equipment that should be placed as basically a way to get extra ports on your router. Take a cable from one of your numbered ports on the router to the switch, and you now have 4 new ports on your router! Make sure when you do your math though you count the two spots (one on the switch, one on the router) that you wont have. Example: If you are using a linksys router, they have 4 numbered slots usually. and this has 5. That does not mean you can get 9 devices hardwired. You will get 7, instead of four...3 computers on the router, one cable on the router goes to the switch, and then four extras on the switch! Good luck!

Good item

Im somewhat disappointed it Netgears quality control. All that needs to power the unit down is to bump it. The switch side of the transformer has a weird fit to it. It has to be pushed in very tight like something is holding it back. Once in, it works fine until even a slight bump will dislodge it and power the unit off. Its out of the way now so it doesnt get bumped and works fine. It was kind of a pain while setting my system up and moving things around but now that its stable, its fine.

Its so easy to use. Just plug and play.
