good but could be better July 19, 2008
i have two of the gs108 switch, one is the version 1 (larger) and one version 2 (shown in the pic), the version 1 has been working for 3 years now and had no problem at all. the version 2 one just quit yestereday.
the symptom was all of the LEDs blinks at the same time (on - off - on), and the computer shows the network cable was unplugged. did a little bit search and it seems this is a quite common problem for this switch, it was caused by two capacitors (6.3v 1000uF), following others steps i replaced them with two 10v 1000uF, and now everything is workig again!
so if you have similar problem, check the capacitors, unless you can wait for netgear send you a replacement. the two capacitors cost about $4, i'd say cheapter than the shipping cost.
 Piece of junk July 12, 2008
Mine lasted 28 months, then bricked with the "green lights of death." Save your money and buy a different switch.
 Inexpensive, reliable equipment June 26, 2008
I have been using a Netgear 24-port Gigabit switch ( Netgear JGS524NA ProSafe 24-Port Gigabit Rackmount Switch ) for about two years, and added this one in June 2008. Never had any problems, and as others have pointed out, pretty much plug-n-play; with auto uplink and small but readable lights, these are hassle free unmanaged switches. Our network consists of Macs, Linux, Windoze, and NAS boxes -- all seem to play well. I am also a big fan of the metal enclosures as they add a degree of sturdiness that plastic units can't muster. I have used these for portable temporary net expansion and the metal has made a difference in certain mishaps between having a switch and throwing away a broken switch.
Sturdy, fast, and "just works" - exactly what I want from a switch June 25, 2008
Just like my trusty old FS116 I bought here on Amazon years ago and gave a glowing review to, this FS108 is cut from the same cloth. It features a nice, sturdy metal casing that doesn't creak or flex at all.
Like higher-end enterprise equipment, the LEDs are on the jacks so you can see which connection is what speed (or not working) without having to constantly turn the device around as with lower-end devices where the LEDs are on the front and the jacks on the rear. This makes debugging a bad cable much easier!
Other than that, I just plugged these in (I own two of them) and they work perfectly to provide gigabit connectivity throughout my house, eventually terminating at an Apple Airport Extreme router providing the wireless 802.11n. No issue with interoperability or anything at all -- just like a switch should be!
 dies quickly June 25, 2008
Works very well while alive, but I've seen 3 of these die already; average lifespan seems to be a shade under 2 years.
