What our customer's say!

"Switch provides unexpected benefit", I bought the FS105 simply so that I could connect a TiVo to a wired network in a room with a single Ethernet port and a desktop that was already using that port.

Lo and behold, when I connected the switch the download speed on my desktop doubled. Overall system performance is now visibly faster, even in non-internet applications. Evidently the desktop had been using system resources needlessly processing Ethernet traffic, and the compartmentalization that the switch brought to my network eliminated this unnecessary processing.

It's great when a product actually does more than advertised.

"Great product", My old hub died after six years of use, so I bought this to replace it. It was brain-dead simple to install and it works great.

"Great product", This is a great product. Easy setup and it just works. Can't ask for any more than that.

"Cool!", I purchased this 5-port switch to replace an 8-port Belkin switch. I use the switch to provide additional ports for a Belkin Router. The Belkin Switch would become very hot, and subsequently cease to operate. The Netgear switch runs nice and cool, and keeps on tickin' The Netgear switch was very inexpensive and well worth the price (from Amazon)!!

"no universal power adapter/supply", *This review may be irrelevant to many people, but it is important for those who need or might need a portable switch that can work around the world from 100V to 240V. Unfortunately, FS105 only works from 100V to 120V, unless you buy an extra universal power adapter on your own.

Other reviews have done a good job on reviewing the product, but I would like to raise an issue which other reviews did not mention --- it does not come with an universal power adapter. The power adapter can only accept 100V to 120V. *But* Netgear neither tell you this on the product box, nor in the official product specification on Netgear's website.

I urgently needed a small & portable switch for my trip overseas. I did some research and I found three options:
- Netgear FS105
- Linksys SD205
- Trendnet TE100-S5

All of them are 5-port switches and their sizes are compact. The problem is that, they don't list what "voltage range" they can accept. This information is not listed in their product specification. Why? My first guess was that maybe they all have universal power supplies that work from 100V to 240V, so they don't need to list it. But my guess was WRONG.

Since it was urgent, I decided to take a chance and bought the Netgear FS105. It was delivered to my house the night before I left for my trip. Since there is no information regarding the "voltage range", I had to open the box. Then, of course it was a disappointment.

I guess the reason they don't list the "voltage range" in their specification is that it's easier for them to print and release the same specification around the world without modifying the specification accordingly.

For those who are looking for a portable switch with universal adapter:
Later, I found out that Linksys SD205 does NOT come with an universal power supply either. However, TRENDnet's technical support told me that TE100-S5 work from 110V to 220V. I believe there are some USB powered portable switches as well.

BTW, here is the specification on my FS105's power adapter.

Model: DSA-9R-05 AUS
Input: 100-120VAC 50/60Hz 0.3A
Output: 7.5V @ 1A

Read this reviews before You buy...

"As Expected - Great!", Worked great right out of the box. This is the kind of quality that I expect from Netgear. Now if they can figure out a way to eleminate the "wall wart".

"great home network extender", I purchased two of these switches to extend my home network; I needed two switches to accommodate upstairs/downstairs locations in home. They provide additional ports on a Netgear FVS114 ProSafe VPN firewall with built-in 4 port switch. I also have two wireless networks connected to the wired network; one supports video from a surveillence camera.

Installation was a breeze with nothing to configure; I wall-mounted one switch and 'installed' the second on the floor next to the outlet jack at my upstairs location.

These switches provide many network configuration options and I've used Netgear products for years with no problems. I expect the same will be true with these switches.


"Solid Product", By solid product I mean in terms of performance AND the product itself. The unit itself is made of metal and with every room in the house wired this is the second FS105NA switch I have put on my network. I WAS using a cheap plastic switch but it had a 10MB throughput limit and since upgrading to this one the kids are much happier since their games and chat sessions are faster. If I had to add a THIRD unit I would definitely purchase another Netgear product.

"Netgear FS105 5-Port Fast Ethernet Switch", Great product. It just works as it should. :)

"Great Product!", This product was a great purchase. I got it in a timely manner and it works GREAT!!
