Review: Easy Gigabit Upgrade - Plug It and Forget It! - NOTE: This is a review of the GS 208 with white plastic housing, Ethernet ports at the BACK, LEDs at the FRONT. The GS 3XX series are also on this page and have grey metal housings, Ethernet ports at the FRONT along with the LEDs. A very easy, great value gigabit upgrade for a home network, or to connect AV boxes etc. No configuration, no `correct' broadband port, no setup. I just plugged my networked devices into any of the 8 ports and they communicated instantly. That includes desktops, laptop, a hardware firewall and a broadband modem beyond it. Each PC immediately `found' each other AND the broadband through the firewall with no IP address changes required. Obviously the switch is much faster than any broadband, so the network speed really shows for streaming and file transfers within your own network. Across a 30m long Cat 5e cable I got 350-400 Mbps and that was with an old PC at one end. With a new hard drive installed speeds rose to ~ 500Mbps. The switch is very compact and neat, all the Ethernet sockets and power socket at the rear with green power and connection LEDs along the front. The LEDs flicker to show data transfer but they DON'T indicate the speed of each connection (100/1000 Mbps) by a colour change, so you may need to check your other hardware and cables to make sure you're getting gigabit speed where you should. I found a network surge protector that was dropping a connection to 100 Mbps level, but I had to look at the PC to find this. And check you don't still have any old Cat 5 (pre - 5e) cables in your network or you won't get high speeds. The unit only gets slightly warm when busy, it says 3.64W is the maximum power and it meets the IEEE standard for energy efficiency. This cool running means there's no need for vent slots which is good if you want to put it in the sort of dusty places routers and switches often end up in - but it's small and neat enough to stay out on the desk or among your AV boxes. UPDATE: Jan 2016: Almost two years later, still working perfectly.
Review: Easy to set up and works perfectly - Easy to set up and ideal for my intended use, I have been using a Belkin version for several years but it had been playing up for a few weeks dropping connections and getting very hot so I decided it was time to change it. I didn’t need anything too big or with masses of ports as it is just used as an extension to my smart TV, Android box, Satellite TV box and a hardwire link for plugging in my wife’s laptop when she needs a windows update or something transferring off my main desktop PC and this looked ideal. Setup is simple and just a case of plugging everything in and it’s done depending on your setup, for me it was just a case of switching out the old and in with the new. The box is nice and compact and everything is well finished, the light indicators work as they should showing activity on each port when in use, the box has no internal fan but even after being on all day it is just warm so no issues with that, the speed seems good, solid and consistent through all ports when I gave them all a file transfer test. I have added a short video and will also add some pictures just showing the unboxing and then plugging in all the network cables, overall I am very pleased with this purchase it is ideal for replacing my old one at a reasonable price and I would certainly recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A go to item if you need more ports!
*by A***T on 31 August 2018*

If you've run out of ports on your router (of course you have we all do) this is what you need, top brand, nice and compact, no loss of speed and no setup other than plugging in the cables, what more could you ask for, mine runs cool 24/7 without issue, it does what you need it to and can probably handle more! Please take a second to hit the helpful button it makes taking the time to write the review worthwhile x.
