 NETGEAR - 8-Port 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Switch - Blue
NETGEAR - 8-Port 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Unmanaged Switch - Blue
NETGEAR's popular FS100 series desktop switches, known for their reliability and performance, provide your LAN with high-speed, 10/100Mbps auto-sensing connectivity for as many as 8 users. Just plug in your Ethernet cables, connect a power cord, and you're ready to go-there's no software to configure. They negotiate to the fastest possible connection and with Auto Uplink technology, these switches automatically figure out if the link needs a straight-through or cross-over connection, and makes the right choice. Existing 10BASE-T devices are easily integrated within higher bandwidth environments, with full wire speeds on all ports of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps. Engineered without the need for internal fans, they operate silently. And each of these very compact switches is housed in a sturdy metal case for years of dependable use. Eight ports provide LAN access for many users. Every port supports up to 200Mbps in dedicated bandwidth and traffic is forwarded flawlessly with automatic flow control. Solidly built in small sizes that are easy to position when space is at a premium. Ideal for conference rooms, class rooms, study groups or small offices. Place it on any flat surface or use the included wall mount kit to tuck it out of the way. Once you connect the hardware, your switch is operating! Auto negotiation takes care of the speed and duplex, while Auto Uplink takes care of the MDI/MDI-X connection. Eliminate the need for toggle switches or special crossover cables. No fan means no noise, which helps maintain a peaceful atmosphere in your busy office.

Dell - S2319NX 23" IPS LED FHD Monitor (HDMI, VGA) - Black/Silver
Optimize your viewing experience on this 23-inch Dell LCD monitor. Its Full HD IPS screen lets you see content from almost any angle. Easily connect a laptop or a PC to the VGA and HDMI ports on this Dell LCD monitor.
 

Hello my name is Martin if you could respond to this it would be great well My s2319nx dell monitor is turning on it’s ok but half of the screen is like a fade of black into the normal color it really sucks usually I would unplug it and it would go back

Martin;

I would say in your case that the Monitor is defective. Fading is a common issue when the unit is going bad. You did try to reset it by restarting the monitor, and then you got the same result. It's time for a new monitor.

I need dsl thru att is this compatible.

Dear Tata;

If you are looking to add this wireless router to an existing DSL hook up, it will work fine. But if you are saying this would be the DSL line hook up, it does not provide the abilities to handle a DSL connection.

Does this printer accept replacement toner from third party or do you have to use Brothers toner?

Dear Elle;

Based on all the machines I have set up, I don't see a problem with using replacement toner on a Brother laser. My suggestion is to have one good toner around and one every-day toner around. Not all printouts are for professional purposes. This will help in case one fails.

All the best,

On average, how much would it cost to replace ink cartridges?

Dear Ron;

The average is in the $20 dollar range. Because the cartridges only print up to 300 pages, you will be replacing them, periodically. But for the comfort and ease of being somewhere else and you can guarantee a printout, that's worth it. Great machine. A++

what is the weight of this printer? Thank you,

The weight of this machine is 3 to 4 lbs. It's light as a feather, a little slow in printing the page, but, hey, you are printing in a car, at the hotel, on the job site. It's a real winner. Hope that helps.

I've never bought refurbished before. Do you get the full warranty? Can you buy an extended service plan from Best Buy?

Dear ServiceNelly;

Yes, pick up the extended warranty. It will give you some piece of mind (although many experts would say not to buy extended insurance). The regular warranty does carry on with the product. Refurbished machines always make people nervous, but having it looked over by experts is not a bad thing. Worth a try.
