Introduction

The NETGEAR® 5/8-Port Fast Ethernet Switch Model FS605 v3/FS608 v3 provides you with a low-cost, reliable, high-performance switch to connect up to five or eight different Ethernet- enabled devices (such as computers, file servers, print servers, printers, routers and hubs).

Fast Ethernet Switch FS605 v3/FS608 v3

You use the FS605 v3/FS608 v3 switch to build a small network that enables you to have 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps access to other devices on the network. Also, with this switch, you can add extra computers to your cable or DSL router. Unlike a hub that shares its connection with all devices, the FS605 v3/FS608 v3 switch provides a full, dedicated 100 Mbps (or 10 Mbps) connection between two devices. If a device has full-duplex capability, the FS605 v3/FS608 v3 switch provides a 200 Mbps (or 20 Mbps) connection.

Ethernet cables come as either straight-through or crossover cables—depending on whether you’re connecting to a device (computer, server, or printer) or networking equipment (hub, switch, or router). With the Auto Uplink™ feature, you don’t have to worry about which one you use. Each port on the FS605 v3/FS608 v3 switch automatically configures itself correctly when you plug in a device’s cable.

If you have a problem with your switch, NETGEAR offers free support 24 hours a day and 7 days a week on the Web (www.NETGEAR.com), by e-mail (support@NETGEAR.com) and by phone (see the provided support information card for phone numbers).
