What is the difference between Netgear GS108 and GS608 Gigabit Ethernet Switches?

Other than the looks, what are the engagement differences between these two 8 port Gigabit Ethernet switches?


Looks like they both do the same element. It might be using different chip sets inside. I have the GS608 and it runs cooler when you use the legs to reaffirm it vertically, i.e. gets better air flow. You also see the lights on the front with the cable coming out the back, whereas the GS108 has the lights on the same side as the cables.

Well mostly it seems to be fitting the target audience, but it is hard to tell because with the GS108 they clearly spell out the performance(just what a affair would want), , but on the GS608 they don't. The target for the GS108 is going to be a business where stacking them is more foremost then a pretty look like the home user would want. There is no telling short of testing them both (and in most cases there doubtlessly is no difference).

What is the maximum number of gigabit ethernet switches that can be daisy chained together?


The switches are Linksys SR2024.


It expressly depends on the switches used and the amount of bottlenecking you want. If you look at the switches before you purchase you will see in the tech specs how many clients climactic.
You are better off not daisy chaining switches, but having one central switch say a 24 port 10gig-e switch and then having 24 gig-e switches coming off this each with a 10gig-e uplink or module, to bust bottlenecking.

I need advice on a Gigabit Ethernet switch. I DON'T need wireless, and I see some switches?

-D-Relate and others for around $35 USD. Do any of them also have a USB port for adding a USB hard drive as a NAS (Network Attached Storage)??

Thanks for any ideas!
I have a NAS already. My where it hurts network has a home run to the basement. I have a WIFI router on the 1st floor. My Tivo, XBox, NAS, and 2 office computers run to the basement. My laptop uses WiFi. My DSL runs into the basement as well. My basement router (which I am looking at replacing) out of the window 2 (of 4) ethernet jacks due to a power surge / lightning strike.


Why not solely get an ethernet NAS. They are only slightly higher and you don't have the issue.

Switches are "dumb" devices in that there are no processors in them, there are processors in most routers these days so adding USB is much smaller contract than trying to add one to a switch. The Nerds has one for little money

Well, if you extremity to replace your ROUTER anyway, get a new router with USB support. Netgear (WGT634U) one designed just for this. It is not a SWITCH it is a full ROUTER!.

has USB kin for usb drive etc.
There are a couple on Amazon for around $40.00
