 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.

Will it automatically clean any existing viruses ?

Dear Andy;

Yes, Webroot will attack and quarantine viruses and malware. Do your scan and see what it finds. That's what it does best. You may also want to use Malwarebytes for a "second doctor's opinion" about the health of your machine. Combining these two forces together, hackers are not liking this much.

how do I connect it to my computer? Does it come with wires or do I have to buy them separately?

Dear Linda;

No, they have wires that come with. Look for two plugs on the side of your laptop or in the back of your computer. Start a CD or YouTube video--something with sound. Then turn the speakers up and wait to hear a sound. Remember, one of the two plugs is a microphone and the other is for audio. Green plugs represent audio.

Enjoy the sound,

Can these be connected to a tv?

Dear EJ:

Not many people ask this question, but I don't see why this wouldn't work. In older TV sets, you could plug in computer speakers and they would work. If you see an audio plug, go for it. The only thing that will happen is no sound.

It mentions that a CD-Rom is included for installation. I do not have a CD-Rom on my computer. Is there another way to install this on my computer without the CD-Rom?

Dear Confused26;

This is a common question. You can visit the Brother website at https://www.brother-usa.com/ for software downloads. I do this all the time. Updates happen each day, so opening the box and pulling out an older CD isn't your best bet. Download it, install, it, and enjoy.

Dear Ture;

I guess, as long as it isn't too thick. 22 lb or 24 lb would make it through Brother's rollers. I don't see an issue. But card stock would be a problem. You should get a good print quality from it.

With AC1750 WiFi, Gigabit Ethernet speeds, and high-powered external antennas, this router offers ultimate performance in wireless coverage for large homes with 12 or more wireless devices. It gets 3x faster access than similar 802.11n.
 

I do not have a computer, just a tablet and phone - will I be able to set this router up?

Dear CAT60;

My suggestion is to have a friend come over with a laptop, set up the device, get it registered, and then it will work. The friend can take the laptop home. I find it much easier to set up a wireless router through a laptop than a mobile or tablet device. Make specific notes on all usernames/passwords, security questions/answers. You may need them for future references.

Hope that helps.

Dear Tam;

Yes, the iPhone 7 should be able to print to this printer. I don't see an issue. Apple products are very friendly with HP Printers. Once the HP printer is set up wirelessly, you should be able to select it (no additional software is required). In case you want to know, HP has an HP Printer App. That would also do the job.
