Great solution

Pros: it "just works."
Model Number: GS108
"This switch "just works." No configuration needed!
This is the second one I've bought. I highly recommend it.
However, you will also need a router that can provide DHCP services, since this switch doesn't have that capability."

Quick and Easy

"Easiest piece of electronics that I ever hooked up. Literally, unpacked it, connected to my router, connected to my other network enabled devices, and turned on the power and I was up and running. There is no configuration needed. Took no more than a few mins."

Great product, great price!

Pros: small and high speed
"I purchased 2 of these for home use and as we are adding more gigabit systems at work I bought 3 more for use in offices where an extra connection was needed temporarily or possibly permanently temporary. They do not replace our manageable main switches but they are great to keep the gigabit pipeline open when you need to split a home-run line quickly."
