NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS308) - Home Network Hub, Office Ethernet Splitter, Plug-and-Play, Fanless Metal Housing, Desktop or Wall Mount

Product Information

The Netgear “GS108” Gigabit Ethernet unmanaged switch is the best for splitting the connection between the devices being used at home. It is because the low buffering speed of the network switch would still be enough for a small area such as a house than a large office building. The performance on this switch is near excellent. You will get 1 Gigabit connection on all the ports connected to the switch to ensure seamless and fast internet connectivity through all the devices. On the other hand, the features that are common between the two devices include the fanless design, versatile installation options, and the ability to save power. Eventually, it forms a local area network or LAN. 3. Which Eight Port “Unmanaged” Switch Would You Recommend?

The Netgear “GS308” is the best for office use, where it’s required a better buffering speed as compared to home. GS108 and GS108E are quite similar to each other, with a few differences. The GS108 device has more width than GS108E. Moreover, GS108 is heavier than the GS108E, and you’ll notice that the depth of the former is less than the depth of the latter. However, the height of both of the devices is the same. Along with this, the GS308 device comes with some managed switch features besides the unmanaged device features. However, you’ll find only unmanaged device features in the GS208 device.

Furthermore, the availability of 24/7 support for the said switch makes it a better choice for the times when you can’t figure out the fault by yourself. – Netgear GS308 vs GS308EAnother aspect to consider is that it provides a power-saving mode which reduces the power consumption when the network cable is disconnected. It will automatically adjust power consumption according to its length. That saves electricity and a whole lot of money.
