Netgear GS108 ProSafe 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Desktop Switch Reviews
Customer Rating:Summary: Outstanding speed
Comment: Outstanding speed, but more suited for under desk or wall-mount than on top of your desk because the lights are on the same side as the cables. In other words, to see the lights, you'll need to have the cables staring you in the face as opposed to being hidden on the back of the unit and flowing off the desk.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Dead after 1 year
Comment: I bought this 1 year ago and slowly one port after another started going dead after about 6 months of use. Now all the ports are dead and the switch seems to be in a continuous reboot mode. This is my first Netgear switch and I am not sure I would buy another.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great product while it works
Comment: Bought 2 of these and they both worked for a day. 2nd day one started getting flakey. Works for about 3 minutes after power cycling. I'm not a happy camper. These felt much heftier than my previous DLink 10/100 switches. Not much good if they don't work. I'm going to return one under warranty and hopefully the new one works. I need 3 more but I won't buy any more Netgear products until I get more satisfaction. Buy with caution!

Summary: 17 months and "The Blinking Lights of Death"
Comment: As the IT manager for a medium-sized business, I really like how solid these switches feel, but I won't be using them again. I used the switches in my home network, to help cut down on wiring back to the core switch. The Netgear GS108 failed after 17 months with the well documented "Blinking Lights of Death" malfunction, caused by failing capacitors. Unfortunately, I have several more that were purchased during the same time frame.
I recommend against purchasing this make and model of switch.

Summary: Capacitor Fix for Faulty Netgear GS108
Comment: Anyone who has one of these Netgear switches that died after a year or two should Google "Netgear GS108 capacitor". If you are handy with a soldering iron, you can quickly fix the problem yourself for just a few dollars by replacing two blown capacitors.
(This is not intended as an excuse for Netgear shipping such shoddy product, nor is it intended to encourage more people to buy the GS108. I merely wanted to help inform people who already own this product that they can revive dead units.)
