5 out of 5 stars Works as advertised   October 24, 2008
Jake2551 (Annandale, New Jersey United States)
The switch is truly plug-and-play. No drivers to mess with. Currently using 6 of the 8 ports for my home office with very little heat coming off the switch. Would recommend it to others.

M. Plaag (New Egypt, NJ)
Easy to setup, works well. It does get a little warm so make sure you have it in a well ventilated area and don't stack it.

Heinz Gf Matuschka (Colorado Springs, CO USA)
NETGEAR GS608 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch Plugged in the Ethernet cables, plugged in the power and the unit was up and running. Like plugging in a toaster.

This product works well; however my main complaint is that its basically impossible to find out the default admin user/pass if you don't have the documentation (which I didn't b/c I bought mine used). :(


5 out of 5 stars Great gigabit switch   February 13, 2008
Lester L. Chitester (Northern Alabama)
The title says it all - this is a great switch.

Good price and it just plugs in and works! I couldn't ask for more.
