Gigabit Power for the Home
For a high-speed network on a small scale, nothing delivers like these stylish powerhouses. These fast, easy, and affordable Gigabit switches gives your home network the maximum capacity to handle huge bandwidth. Packed with ease-of-use features to simplify your networking experience, their sleek design makes them look great on a desktop either flat or in the provided stand. The GS605 and GS608 move very large files such as high-end multimedia, gaming, Internet access, and other speed-intensive applications across your network instantly, and because they are standards-based, they painlessly integrate existing 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps devices on your network. The fan-less design results in silent operation allowing you to focus on your game or relax to your music. Matched with NETGEAR's thorough testing, the GS600 switches provide long-lasting performance you can count on.
Potent
Moves huge files fast! Features 5 or 8 high-speed, auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connections. And because Copper Gigabit Ethernet is a full duplex standard, you can get up to 2000 Mbps on each port.
Smart
Seamlessly integrates 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps devices on the same network and will honor Layer 2 priority tags. Every port automatically senses the right speed and full/half duplex mode, and Auto Uplink technology automatically adjusts for straight-through or crossover cables.
Stylish
The sleek design looks great on a desktop whether the switches rest on their feet or on their edge, making it ideal for home and small office environments.
Easy-going
LEDs make for easy monitoring while no fans make for noiseless operation. Compatible with major network operating systems whether it's PC or Mac. OS.
