Review: Lots of VLAN configurability, stable performance - A professional network engineer might scoff at this "prosumer"-grade switch, but it does actually have a fair bit of flexibility in regard to its VLAN configuration, and you get a lot of bang for your buck. I bought it so I could connect two Internet gateways (a cable modem and an optical network terminal) to my router's single WAN port and two virtual LANs to my router's single LAN port. Despite the two passes that packets need to take through this switch on their way between the Internet and my LAN devices, I can still download the latest Chromium sources from Google at over 100 MiB/s (average over the course of a 2-GiB+ download) through my gigabit Internet link, so I know the switch matrix is doing a good job at keeping the crossing flows from colliding. To pull off having two gateways connected to one WAN port on my router, I have two 802.1Q-tagged virtual interfaces configured on my router's WAN interface with distinct tags that I assigned as the PVIDs of the two switch ports that the gateways plug into. Each of those two switch ports is configured to pass the traffic of its respective VLAN untagged since the cable modem and the ONT are not expecting 802.1Q-tagged Ethernet frames. Then the switch port that is connected to my router's WAN port is configured as a member of both of the gateway VLANs and is configured to pass their traffic with tags so that my router can run its two virtual interfaces on its one WAN port. That switch port has its PVID set to a throwaway VLAN (of which no other ports are members) so that any untagged traffic coming from the router's WAN port will be thrown away and will not leak to the remaining five switch ports that connect my internal LAN. Those other five switch ports, which I use for my LAN, are members of two more VLANs, one of which is set as their PVID, meaning any untagged traffic they receive gets assigned into that VLAN, and also they are configured to pass any traffic on that VLAN in untagged frames. The other VLAN is for my isolated Internet-of-Things network so I can have remote Wi-Fi access points hosting a dedicated SSID just for my IoT devices. The LAN switch ports are configured to pass traffic on the IoT VLAN using tagged frames, so the IoT network is "invisible" to other switches and hosts unless they intentionally connect to it. The router's LAN port runs both the default (untagged) interface for the trusted VLAN and also an 802.1Q-tagged virtual interface for the IoT VLAN, and those two interfaces are addressed on separate subnets with some firewall rules to prevent IoT devices from connecting to trusted devices, but trusted devices can connect to IoT devices (to command them, read status, etc.). The reason I described my complex setup here is so you could get an idea of how much flexibility this switch offers. Sure, it may not have the kind of Cisco-esque management console that network engineers are trained to endure/love, but the switch's web interface is actually shockingly capable of configuring almost any bizarre VLAN arrangement that you can imagine. And there are actually three other VLAN configuration modes that I did not even describe: a basic port-based mode, an advanced port-based mode, and a basic 802.1Q mode. (I use the advanced 802.1Q mode.) As far as the physical build of this switch goes, it looks and feels exactly as you would expect a Netgear desktop switch to look and feel if you are at all familiar with them. It's a sleek metal slab with a line of Ethernet ports along the front edge and a 12V DC barrel jack on the rear. Each port has two LEDs that show link speed/status and activity, so you get your typical blinkenlights show. The 12V input is nice because it allows me to put this switch on my 12V battery backup along with my router and my two gateway devices. The four devices will easily run for many hours in a power outage. As for reliability, I have never had this switch hang or lose performance with prolonged use. It runs silently for months to years with no intervention required. It just works, even despite the crazy configuration I gave it. I have no complaints at all. Review: Perfect & Powerfuml Switch for non tech folks - This is a perfect switch if you want to expand your home or small business network. If you want to plug in multiple devices to your existing network then this device is for you. I am giving this product a 5 stars for the reason below: 1. Plug and Play. Absolutely no programming or setup required. 2. Percect device for novices users and non IT/computer users like me. Again...no setup required. Just plug in your devices and you will be automatically connected to your LAN. 3. Excellent quality build. The entire unit looks and feel high quality. Case is metal and device is heavy. No cheap plastic and lightweight feel. 4. Netgear is a reliable and makes excellent switches. I have a 10/100Mbs 5 port netgear switch that I bought in 1999 to use in my college dorm to get multiple computers to a single network port in my dorm. I still have this switch 18yrs later and it is still 100% operational. In matter of fact I bought this 8 port to replace my 18yrs old switch. I am only upgrading because i wanted 1000Mbs speee and more ports. Some misc tips for novices/non tech folks. 1. If your house is built after 2004 and was originally wired for telephone lines throughout your house then you already probably got either cat5e or cat6 cables installed already. Electrician will use cat5e/cat6 cables to wire your house for telephone use because they are just as cheap as regular telephone line and more readily avaiable. Therefore, no need to run ethernet cables. Just pull apart your telephone wall plates and verify. I hope this review helps. ## Features - 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports - Plus software with easy-to-use interface offers basic managed capabilities to configure, secure, and monitor your network - Supports desktop or wall mount placement - Lifetime Limited Hardware Warranty, Next Business Day Replacement, and 24/7 chat with a NETGEAR expert - Energy efficient design compliant with IEEE802.3az - Quiet operation - Made for use in U.S. & CA only - ProSAFE Plus Switch delivers network monitoring, traffic prioritization and VLAN - 16 ports deliver up to 2000 Mbps of dedicated, non-blocking bandwidth per port - Simple, yet useful network set-up on top of plug-and-play connectivity - Gigabit speed with QoS, VLAN and network monitoring - VLAN support for traffic segmentation ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00M1C0186 | | Best Sellers Rank | #678 in Computer Networking Switches | | Brand | NETGEAR | | Case Material Type | Plastic | | Color | Grey | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop, Printer, Server | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 985 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 1000 Megabits Per Second | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00606449103397, 10606449103394 | | Interface | RJ45 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 6.2"L x 4.1"W x 1.1"H | | Item Weight | 600 Grams | | Manufacturer | Netgear | | Mfr Part Number | GS108E-300NAS | | Model Number | GS108E-300NAS | | Number of Layers | 1 | | Number of Ports | 8 | | Platform | Not Machine Specific | | Product Dimensions | 6.2"L x 4.1"W x 1.1"H | | Switch Type | Managed | | UPC | 808112944638 809394591909 606449103397 804067305708 804904109131 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 104 Degrees Fahrenheit | | Voltage | 12 Volts | | Warranty Description | Lifetime Limited Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** NETGEAR - **Color:** Grey - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop, Laptop, Printer, Server - **Number of Ports:** 8 - **Product Dimensions:** 6.2"L x 4.1"W x 1.1"H ## Images ![GS108E - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bGM3srpbS.jpg) ![GS108E - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dWYBgiJGS.jpg) ![GS108E - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yORoanw1S.jpg) ![GS108E - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wt618YWNL.jpg) ![GS108E - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vAn4pFBgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots of VLAN configurability, stable performance *by M***K on February 3, 2025* A professional network engineer might scoff at this "prosumer"-grade switch, but it does actually have a fair bit of flexibility in regard to its VLAN configuration, and you get a lot of bang for your buck.

Reasonably sized, fast as far as I can tell, sturdy metal case, nice looking, just like all "Pro" Netgear switches have been for many years. What this one has that others don't are management features that you usually need to spend WAY more to get. In particular, though, you can set it up to mirror traffic from one port to another, which is absolutely critical if you want to use Wireshark or the like to sniff packets between two devices that can't run a packet sniffer. Port mirroring is not something most people need, but if you *do* then this switch does exactly what you need, it does it well, it does it in a tiny package, and it does it for hundreds of dollars less than most managed switches. The absolute perfect tool for budget network debugging or (in my case) for taking out into the field to put between two things and figure out what's not working. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/5399079-gs108e](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/5399079-gs108e) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-07-21*
