About this deal

I used the Netgear GS110EMS for more than a week, and the switch worked well. I had no issue with it at all. It was silent though it did get a bit warm during heavy loads -- not to the point I'd be concerned.

The network card in the desktop is Asus XG-C100C. All tests were run from the nas with the desktop acting as an iperf server. For the test the 10G interface is .239, the 1G interface is .198. If the 10G interface was being tested the 1G interface was disabled and vice versa. I used 6FT cat 6 cables into the uplink ports The XS505M and XS508M come with copper Ethernet 5-speed ports that provide either FastEthernet, 1-Gigabit, 2.5-Gigabit, 5-Gigabit or 10-Gigabit connectivity, as well as 1 SFP+ Fiber port with 1-Gigabit or 10-Gigabit connectivity. We really like the extremely small form factor of the Netgear GS110EMX and the fact that there are some very basic features one may want such as setting up port-based VLANs and having prioritized voice VLANs for IP phones. That is great in a small environment. A multitude of mounting options also helps the versatility of this switch. It's worth noting that the switch comes with a 110V-only power adapter. Specifically, the adapter can take power input of up to 120V. This is the first time I've seen an electronic that doesn't support world power output, ranging from 110V to 240V. The Netgear GS110EMX's included power adapter can handle power up to 120V, making it unusable outside America.As for performance number, the switch did very well in my Gigabit test. Clearly, the Multi-Gig uplink played a role. The all new GS110MX comes with the revolutionary 5-speed Multi-Gigabit technology built in the NETGEAR multi-speed switches allows your devices to speed past the Gigabit barrier. We tested power consumption on 120V power since that is common at the edge where these will be deployed in North America. In terms of actual power consumption we saw: And here's the side of the Netgear GS110EMX switch. There's nothing of note here other than the mounting holes.

We took a picture of this area because Netgear also makes the GS110EMX switch. That switch is a managed unit and the controller is placed on this side of the PCB. That review is forthcoming. Netgear GS110MX Performance and Management And in that sense, the second 10Gbps port is a bonus. Now you can add a super-fast server that can simultaneously deliver real 1Gbps to more than half a dozen Gigabit clients. The Netgear GS110EMX comes with just two 10Gbps Multi-Gig ports. Netgear GS110EMX: Hardware specifications As mentioned above, out of the box, the Netgear GS110EMX works just like any unmanaged switch. Plug it into power, connect one of its ports to an existing network (another switch or a router) and you're all set. The underside of the unit shows important facets of this multi-gig enabled switch. As you can see, the switch has a number of mounting options. For the photos thus far, we have had rubber feet supplied with the unit. The GS110MX also comes with a wall mounting kit that anchors to the underside as well. Netgear GS110MX Under With Rubber Feet On the underside, the Netgear GS110EMX has two mounting holes and the label with the default access printed on it.Smart Managed Plus: These switches include more advanced QoS, virtual local area networks (VLANs), and network traffic monitoring at a great price point. Some also support PoE. As such, it's a well-made device. It's compact, and quiet with excellent Gigabit performance in my testing. There's also a great set of networking features, and the lifetime hardware guarantee is hard to beat. If we took a poll of STH readers that at some point have had a Netgear unmanaged switch, it surely would be a high number. The Netgear GS110MX is a truly simple device that may well be your next unmanaged Netgear switch. It has 8x 1GbE ports, along with two 10Gbase-T ports. Those 10Gbase-T ports are Nbase-T devices which means they also can handle 2.5GbE and 5GbE speeds. In our Netgear GS110MX review, we are going to take a look at what the switch has to offer. Netgear GS110MX Overview

If your goal is complete simplicity, then the Netgear GS110MX makes sense, especially if you want up to 8x 1GbE ports and 2x 10GbE or multi-gigabit ports. For many small offices that have a workstation or server, a NAS, and several clients this type of device makes sense. What would have, of course, made this a stronger recommendation is if the eight ports supported 2.5GbE. Together, they would match the speeds of the uplink ports. We are also seeing more client devices and even low-end NAS units support 2.5GbE so it would make the switch more future proof. This is a very small unit that measures 236x102x27mm or 9.29×4.02×1.06 inches just like its unmanaged counterpart. The front of the switch has ten ports. Ports 1-8 are the 1GbE ports for the switch. These can also operate at 10/100 speeds for those who still utilize ancient network devices. Netgear GS110EMX Port View Front As for a genuine 10Gbps connection, the GS110EMX was fast, but it was farther south of 10,000Mbps than most other switches I've tested -- so far, none could deliver real 10,000Mbps.The point is you will need a new power adapter if you want to use this switch in the EU or Asia and other parts of the world -- or you will fry the hardware. Since I travel a lot, I find Netgear's decision on this front is quite bothersome. FullName First, the two heatsinks are the same as we found in the unmanaged version. These are the primary switch chips which is why they are the same. Netgear GS110EMX Internal 3 These include adding more users. Even basic server BMCs with IPMI one has multiple directory services integrations and can minimally add new users. Netgear GS110EMX Management Dashboard Expand your network instantly, and give your devices either 100Mb, 1, 2.5, 5 or 10-Gigabit, automatically As you can see in the hardware specifications above, the switch can do multiple things, including QoS, creating VLAN, Port mirroring, and so on.
