Perfect in every regard! 3rd Netgear Gigabit for ME! - Reviewed on 2008-12-23

HI.
I already have 2 of these switches and needed a third one. Granted the first two were bought elsewhere but the 3rd was bought on Amazon and now I can give it a glowing review.

The switches look great.....they stack perfectly. They do not run hot when being used in a semi-closed closet type situation and the LED's make it very easy to tell if you are getting full gigabit or 100bt. (GREEN GIGABIT, Yellow - 100base-t).

Simplistic design, great styling, and perfect compatibility.

Great item!

Works as advertised - Reviewed on 2008-10-24

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.

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.

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.
