Who's on the tag? While not flashy, a nifty way to speed up wired home networks is to move to Gigabit Ethernet. This works especially well for someone with a newer (last two years) computer who streams music and video files around their home network. This switch significantly speeds up communications between computers on a home network for streaming video, etc. It does not increase Internet speed. Also, it will only increase wired network speeds, not wireless.
What's in the box? Netgear GS108 Prosafe 8-port Gigabit Switch, power supply and mounting screws. What's to like... or not? Upside: Solidly built metal case. Price. Downside: It's all good. This is a great network switch. What's the damage? $76.95 Netgear GS108 at Amazon
