Quality and compatibility miracle

I agree with the positive reviews.
The switch has a very valent metal housing and now also meets the Energy Star requirements.
Consumption was reduced by 60%, the cable length is detected automatically and thus adapted to the current consumption.
Unused LAN ports are switched off (Auto Power Down).

My network problems with a D-Link DGS-1008D Green 8-port switch and several Dreamboxen (PVR 600 and DM 800SE)
belong to the past.
Both receivers were mounted via NFS on a Synology DS 110j.
With the D-Link Green router is constantly came to dropouts in the recordings and when streaming.

With the Netgear GS108 GE Gigabit copper switch now can easily 2 HD recordings are made at the same time and at the same time a movie to be streamed without it comes even to the slightest misfires.

My conclusion: rather invest a little more and save yourself a lot of hassle.
