Manufacturer description
If you need the Gigabit version of this switch, look for a Netgear GS108. So why use a 10/100 switch instead of a Gigabit switch?. This switch resolves those issues. We have 28 new in box/factory sealed units available.
SpecPicks Verdict
SpecPicks scored Netgear ProSAFE 8-port 10/100 Desktop Ethernet Switch Model FS108… using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the lan-party gear category. Netgear's lan-party gear lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.
Common buyer scenarios for lan-party gear of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.
