 Better than a 5 porter. July 1, 2010
F. Lum (Hawaii)
I think the connectors should be in the back of the unit, & not on the same side as the lights. I also think you should be able to mount it on a wall. It certainly does expand my capabilities to use other computer hook ups.
 Count on Replacing Every 2-3 years July 1, 2010
Domino009
The product works well. It (and its smaller cousin the GS-105) tends to die when it reaches between 2 to 3 years old. Count on replacing it. It seems to be very reliable and fast while it works. I've owned two GS-108s and two GS-105s.
Mostly excellent May 19, 2010
R. Price (Louisville, KY, US)
This was a very easy product to install. Attached my 5 ethernet cables, plugged it in, and it worked the first time. Going from the old 100MB switch has not noticeably changed the speed of my connects, but my purpose was to increase the number of connects, so it has served this purpose. The only negative for us is that the network indicator lights are very bright and somewhat distracting even though we have them facing the wall. It would be nice if their was a setting for lower lighting.
Failed after 2.5 years, but worked well. May 17, 2010
Pavel Zelinsky (Boulder, CO United States)
It is interesting that there are MANY reports of Netgear GS108 failure after 2+ years of usage.
Now I have to join the club!
Mine was working well 2.5 years, but now it reboots every 2-5 minutes. I expected a switch to last way longer. Going to replace immediately.
 DO WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT May 15, 2010

This is a bad product. It is not compatible with my multiple devices like DELL laptop etc. that make it virtually useless.
Its support phone line is a garbage, horrible support from their oversee team(must be cheap) bad attitude, poor technical knowledge, far from professional way.
