Moves huge files fast! Netgear GS105 features five high-speed, auto-switching 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connections and because Gigabit Ethernet is a full duplex standard, you get up to 2000 Mbps on each port. It integrates 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps devices on the same network. Every port automatically senses the right speed and full/half duplex mode, and Auto Uplink technology automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables. Sized to save space, this sturdy, metal 5-port switch is compact and fits easily on a desk or mounts on a wall, making it ideal for home and small office environments.
For a high-speed network on a small scale, nothing delivers likes this compact powerhouse. Equipped with five auto-speed-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps UTP ports, this affordable switch gives your network the capacity to handle huge workloads. It moves very large files across your network instantly, and lets you painlessly integrate 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps devices on your network. Packed with ease-of-use features to simplify your networking experience, its trim design makes it an easy fit for a desk or mounted on a wall. The durable metal chassis protects interior working parts and the fan-less design results in silent operation. Matched with Netgear's thorough testing, the GS105 switch provides long-lasting performance you can count on.

Dependable like other Netgear products I've used.......2007-06-13
Excellent product, with only one minor flaw........2007-02-26
This product is easily superior to the Netgear GS605, which may appear identical in functionality, but in actuality is not. The GS605 behaves very badly when it comes to speed and duplex auto-negotiation, resulting in incorrect speed being negotiated with Marvell, some nVidia, and some Broadcom PHYs. The GS105 does not suffer from these problems, proving the hardware in the GS105 differs from that of the GS605.
The GS105 also has an incredibly small AC adapter; it's no where near "brick" size. However, on a power strip that has AC outlets next to one another (horizontal, not vertical), this product will probably block the AC outlet next to the one you install it in. This won't happen with vertically-oriented power strips. Just a FYI...
The reason I ranked this product 4/5 stars is because of temperature -- the GS105 runs incredibly warm (borderline hot) for such a small device. Other users have reported the same issue. It's a minor drawback, but is worth noting for others who may wonder the same question.
If the temperature is a big concern, consider purchasing a Hawking Technologies HGS5T, which is identical in functionality to this product, runs much cooler, but has a larger footprint, and a "brick" AC adapter.
Excellent product.......2007-02-14
It works- what else is there?.......2007-01-10
I do not like that the ports are on the front - if you are like me and want to mount this under a shelf... 1) everything is upside-down and 2) the cables have to come from the front and wrap back around.
I would like to see the ports on the back and a removable faceplate where you could swap it depending on your you are going to mount it.
Also, when mounting under a shelf, there are no feet to create a space for heat.
