Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of NETGEAR FS105NA Switch 5Port Metal

Customer Review: Simple and Efficient
Summary: 5 Stars

I needed this to add a network printer in a different room than my router. I already had a cable run to the other room for my laptop (wired is faster than its wireless card), which runs Linux (Ubuntu). "Installation" is probably too complex a word--literally, I just plugged in the power cord, plugged in my cable from my router, and then plugged in my computer and printer--and it just worked. I have a faster-than-average internet connection (DOCSIS), and tested the speed both with without the switch, and it was the same (47-49mb/s download, 4-5mb/s up).

Customer Review: Excellent Switch
Summary: 5 Stars

This switch has been a pleasant surprise. I have a cable that runs from a router in my house to my office which is located in a separate building behind the house. The switch is in my office and performs flawlessly. I have a desktop connected to the switch and am able to transfer large files with ease. I have a phone system connected to it that works better than my landline. I have a wireless access point connected to it for the use of my netbook which is located on the opposite side of my office. This has been a unexpectedly useful investment.

Customer Review: Doesn't get much easier than this!
Summary: 5 Stars

What a great product! I plugged a PS3, xbox360, two computers, and our DSL cable (all ethernet cables) into this switch and now all four systems have internet connection. It was that simple!

My only regret is that I got didn't get the 8-port switch. I didn't realize that the DSL connection goes in one of these front 5 ports. I thought perhaps there was a port in the back (similar to a USB hub). I was hoping to have one port available to plug a laptop in, but the four systems and DSL connection uses all five available ports.

Customer Review: COMPLETE AWESOMENESS
Summary: 5 Stars

After it was already to late, I was thinking that I might not be able to share a connection with another person in my room. I needed something so I could get extra cord length and I got it with this. All I did was plug in the ethernet cord (RJ45) from my router to this device and plug in the other two ethernet cords. Then I turned it on and voila... instant connection between two computers in my room. One being a friends laptop. It works great and it required very little out of me. It even comes with a wireless hook up in the back.
