Netgear ProSafe GS608

The Netgear ProSafe GS608 is an entry-level, 8-port Gigabit switch primarily designed for moving large files across an at-home network. It can simultaneously connect 8 devices with Gigabit speeds, but it includes automatic speed sensing and AutoUplink technology to ensure different-speed devices with different cable types don’t create a bottleneck.

Plus like its smaller counterpart, the 5-port GS605, the GS608 is plug-n-play compatible with Win/Mac platforms, and it utilizes a fanless design for quiet operation. Included also are dual-color LEDs to monitor network connectivity, network speed, and network activity.
