Sturdy and Reliable Design
NETGEAR's FS600 series switches are designed for use in a home and small office, housed in a compact white case that blends into your home decor. A fanless design keeps operation both silent and more reliable, and ports are located in the rear to reduce cable clutter. Each port has status LEDs for link and activity. The switch can be placed on a flat surface or vertically on the included stand.

Simple Setup and Stellar Performance
Plug in your Ethernet cables and connect a power cord, and you're ready to go. There is no software to install or settings to configure. The switch features auto negotiation, which automatically obtains the fastest possible connection, and Auto Uplink adjusts for the different types of Ethernet cables. There is no need for toggle switches or special crossover cables. If your network has existing 10BASE-T devices, they will work seamlessly within a higher bandwidth environment with each port achieving its full speed.

All ports deliver 100 Mbps speed. The FS608 has a 64 KB queue buffer, an address database size of 1,024 MAC addresses, and up to a 148,800 frames/sec max non-blocking, wire-speed frame forward rate for a 100M port (14,800 frames/sec max for 10M port). The switch uses store-and-forward forwarding.

The NETGEAR FS608 is backed by a 3-year warranty.

    Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

    Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Quit working in six months
    I have this switch behind a DSL modem. Since DSL speed is only 8Mb/s, the 10/100 speed is plenty. The unit is nice looking and running cool.

    However, it suddently stopped sending traffic through it today, even all the lights are working fine. I powered down all the computers and reboot ... Read More



    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Easy to set up, works great and looks good
    I was not really a fan of the Netgear, however after the last purchase I may become one.
    I had an older Linksys 8-port router that worked great for a few years, however after the last storm it stopped working.
    So I replaced it with a new D-Link router which died just a couple of weeks later. ... Read More



    Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not as pictured or advertised
    I ordered the stylish white FS608NA as Pictured and described to match my modem
    But recieved a Gray old style discontinued FS608 V2



    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Super-fast and nice-looking
    Really good switch. Has a very nice look to it. It doesn't take up too much space on my desktop. There's really not much to say about it; it works and that's the most important thing.



    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Does what it's supposed to do
    I got this Netgear switch to hook up other computers, so far only 2. I does the job well.. However you need to hook it through your router, it's got 8 ports which is I believe enough so far for my home network. Good product.Delivery was great either.
