I only have one Internet socket in my room, but I have two computers that I would like to connect. Can I use this device for this? Would I have to plug the Lan cable connected to the power socket into one of the eight ports and then the computers (again with two Lan cables) into two other ports? I don't see/understand where/how the internet is routed to the Swich... Thanks for your help!

Yes, you can use the Netgear GS108 device to connect your two computers and the Internet connection. Here's how you can set it up: 1. internet connection: plug the LAN cable connected to your internet outlet (or router) into one of the eight ports on the switch. This port will serve as the 'uplink' or connection to the Internet. 2. computer connections: Plug the LAN cables from your two computers into two other ports on the switch. The device is an unmanaged switch, which means it requires no configuration or software installation. It is plug-and-play, i.e. it automatically recognises and adapts to the network speed and cable types to ensure optimal performance. This configuration routes the internet through the switch to both your computers and you can use both devices simultaneously.

I have connected all cables to the Netgear GS108. However, the lamps only light up green on the 7. Nothing lights up on the rest and they don't work either. What can I do?

Hoi - Devices are connected to all cables that are also switched on/active? Switch has power? Apart from unplugging all Ethernet cables and plugging in the cable on port 7 on 1-6 and 8 (and see if they light up green or not) as a test: not much; if only port 7 lights up, all others do not: then the switch could be defective => enter the return via customer account => service...

A beginner's question... I have a UPC Giga Box in bridge mode. It has an Asus Zen Wifi Mesh System connected to it. Unfortunately I have too few Ethernet connections... A switch is actually an Ethernet multiple socket, isn't it? Can I use this switch with my system?

If the mesh system has a LAN outlet: YES... If you have configured the UPC box as a bridge (not a router, right) and connect a switch to it and then the mesh to the switch... you will either have a few WAN ports or it won't really "work" like a LAN...

I recently installed a Netgear 1Gbit switch to connect my PC and printer (and other devices in the future) to the network, but discovered that the ports only allow 100M/bits to pass through. How do I get my PC back up to 1 G/bit internet download? I am still quite new in this field.

Good morning I know this switch to be indestructible and very reliable. For small networks, it's really the only one for me. I understand the question to mean that only the left-hand LED lights up on each of the connections. I wouldn't be surprised if the printer simply can't do more than 100 Mbps. If the PC is not 10 years old or older, it should actually support gbit or higher. You can set this in the adapter settings under Windows (I assume...). It has also happened to me that Windows set the interface to 100mbit. Then simply unplug the cable and plug it in again. You may also be able to set it on the printer. Consult the manual or the search engine of your choice. When communicating between two devices, the slowest participant determines the speed.

Has Netgear withdrawn their 30 year warranty on this switch? I have one in my account with a warranty until 2051 and one that only goes until 2023. digitec now says 2 years warranty and the manufacturer's site says 3 years. I think that's a shame, the 30-year warranty was always a good argument for recommending this Switch to friends and myself. @digitec can you take over the 3 years from the manufacturer or clarify what the effective status is? In the product data sheet from https://www.netgear.de/support/product/GS108.aspx#docs --Switch: NETGEAR Lifetime Warranty --Power adapter: NETGEAR 2-year warranty https://www.netgear.com/de/business/wired/switches/unmanaged/gs108/ Hardware Warranty Limited lifetime* on switch and 2-year on power adapter At the second link below at Support and Warranty I also found the 3 years.

We have adjusted the warranty period with us, as Netgear only granted the 30 years if the product was registered within 90 days of purchase. We now offer a two-year warranty. If your item has a defect after the two-year period, you should contact the manufacturer directly if they offer a longer period.

I have several of them in use and have been very satisfied so far, but now one has a very strange behaviour: It is "off" even though the power cable is plugged in, the switch is on and there is power on the socket. When I turn the switch off, I hear a low but very high-pitched whistle. When I then switch it on, all the lights flash briefly, then it is "off" again. If I do this several times, it runs for about three to five minutes the third time and is then "off" again. Has anyone had similar experiences and what could be the cause?

Can I get full bandwidth if the switch is plugged into the wall socket (Rj45) in another room? I once had a switch that also promised gigabyte connection, but no matter how I plugged in the cables, I never got higher than 100mb/s....

Helpful answer

The switch here naturally offers a gigabit connection. If this is not the case, it may be due to the cable that is laid in the wall (behind your "wall socket").
