Sturdy and Reliable Design
NETGEAR's FS100 series desktop switches are housed in a compact sturdy metal case designed without the need for internal fans, keeping operation both silent and more reliable. It can be placed on a flat surface or you can use the included wall mount kit.

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 takes care of the MDI/MDI-X connection. There are no 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.

Every port supports up to 200 Mbps in dedicated bandwidth. Automatic flow control ensures smooth traffic. The FS105 has 64 KB of buffer memory and an address database size of 1,000. The switch has status LEDs for power, and link, speed, and activity for each port.

Great switch - HookEmHorns, Nov 11, 2009

Not too much to say about these units other than they work really well. Very affordable and well built - the only switch I buy when I need these for clients.

Netgear FS105 Switch - Joseph W. Richardson, Nov 04, 2009

The switch shipped and arrived quickly. I'm using it as a hub, even though it is a switch, with a DSL connection in, and multiple ethernet connections out. One of them goes into my Netgear firewall/router appliance. All machines behind the firewall/router work just as well as they did before I installed the switch between the DSL modem and the router. Installation was a piece of cake. The firmware seems to work as advertised.

this is useless - w08833, Oct 07, 2009

I purchased this hub because I wanted to connect a Roku via Ethernet now and didn't want to buy a router until the new N spec is fully implemented.

I stupidly did not understand that I couldn't connect the hub directly to a cable modem. I need a router first, and since routers typically have multiple outputs who needs this piece of junk?

Solid product - David Michel, Oct 01, 2009

Netgear has a good reputation and history of making quality products and this is no exception. It is easy to see that they did not sacrifice quality at the cost of making a low price product. It is a simple low end switch, so don't look for features that is not what it was designed for and where the cost savings comes from.

Netgear FS105NA Switch 10/100 - Alberta L. Schumacher, Sep 24, 2009

I have this switch connected to our home network which was hard wired via an electrician throughout our house. I have an ethernet plug in my office and this is where I connected the switch. A Netgear technician told me that it should be plugged into the first port on the switch which I did. Then I connected my computer and a powerline adapter to the switch. I connected the other powerline adapter into an electrical outlet across the room and also to my dedicated photo printer all-in-one. The computer has a steady 100 mb/s connection to the network as does the printer. I love that switch and the powerline adapters because they permitted me to get my dedicated all-in-one photo printer, scanner, copier off my desk.
