Model: MS108EUP-100NAS
from $320.7
The NETGEAR MS108EUP is an 8-Port Managed Network Switch designed for high-performance connectivity. It features four 2.5 GbE PoE+ ports (30W) and four 2.5 GbE PoE++ ports (60W), offering a total PoE power budget of 230W to power a variety of devices. With a non-blocking switching bandwidth of 40 Gb/s, a 1.5 MB packet buffer, and support for 12,000-byte jumbo frames, this compact metal switch is ideal for expanding network capabilities with reliable, high-speed connections for demanding applications.
For home use, a simple unmanaged Gigabit switch is all you need to expand your router's ports. Buy a managed switch or a switch with PoE only if you are running security cameras, access points, or complex VLAN setups. Available from $320.7.
Basic unmanaged network switches use negligible power and have zero maintenance costs. PoE (Power over Ethernet) and large managed switches use more electricity but are still relatively cheap to run.
Common Failure Modes
Switches are solid-state devices with high reliability. When they fail, it is usually due to lightning strikes/power surges blowing individual ports or the internal power supply dying.
