The NETGEAR FS105NA is a great fit for someone needing affordable yet reliable 100Mbps switching. While outdated and being light on advanced features, it’s always provided legacy connectivity at a very good price point.
This is an unmanaged, "plug-and-play" 5-port Fast Ethernet switch. A drawback is that it only supports Fast Ethernet speeds of 10/100Mbps and lacks Gigabit Ethernet capability. However, for a small office or home office network without gigabit speed requirements, it provides ample connectivity. All five ports auto-negotiate for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet speeds, making wiring straightforward.
This switch feels super sturdy with its metal case and takes up very little space and runs silently with no fans. The LED indicator lights on the front let you easily see the status of each port.
Considering the very low asking price, advanced features like PoE, VLANs, etc aren’t included, but many SOHO users don’t need that anyway. The ideal use case for this switch is providing basic, no-fuss wired expansion at the most budget-friendly cost, especially for adding a printer where there’s only one ethernet port, so, for that purpose, it can excel in smaller environments, despite it’s limitations.
For IT professionals overseeing SOHO networks without a need for gigabit, the NETGEAR FS105NA is a great option. The plug-and-play ease of use make this tough to beat for very basic connectivity needs.
