In Netgear GS108 is a simple "unmanaged switch" that can not be configured / managed. Accordingly, robust and "fehlerunanfällig" is the unit. I have replaced for safety reasons a "fully managed switch" against this "unmanaged" model, as I currently do not need the management functionality and the simple firmware of this unit will provide less invasive options. In terms of throughput, etc. I can not notice any borders.
