    Are these gigabit ethernet ports?

    • +6

      No

      8x 10/100M

  • +4

    Not gigabit? If I'm just using this for NBN will there be a bottleneck

    What, why?! Spend an extra $10 and don't cripple your network;

    The y2k called, they want their 10/100mbps switch back.

    You can get gigabit (10x faster) for ~$26

    If you must have it delivered and you absolutely want to save very dollar I guess its ok…

    And unless you have FTTH NBN theres minimal risk of bottleneckign so i guess its fine? Still a bit odd to see these being made…

    If you ahve some sort of NAS at home/move fiels around on your network you definitely want to avoid this

      As a person who had to backup multi-terabytes of data recently - don't go anything less than gigabit as on a whole, even the industry is migrating from 1Gb to 2.5/5Gb slowly now.

      gigabit tops out at around 113 megabyes per second data transfer across a network (a 3TB HDD backup to my NAS took 7+ HOURS to transfer even on gigabit).

      with this deal, your data transmission is going to be capped at around 11.3 megabytes per second if you need to use network drives / NAS or anything.

      I'm sorry, but totally not worth it. get a Netgear or TP Link 5 or 8 port Gigabit from either officeworks or MSY.

        In those timeframes, would you not be better backing up using SneakerNet instead?

    If you only need 4 ports then this one is better - https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B07RPVQY62/

      Better than 1985!

  • It’s not even metal shell… I had a surplus 10/100 TP-LINK and used it for switching IP cams. Can’t think of anything else I’d want to use one for.. and that’s only because I owned it already.
    Do yourself a favour and buy gigabit. $40 from office works got me a decent one two weeks ago

  • Is it suitable for ebay click frenzy deals?

  • Harris technology must have found something from their old warehouse

    What, no BNC connectors?

    • You'll need an AUI transceiver for that.

    10/100 is a trap, not a deal.

    • plus u can get gigabit for the same pricepoint 8 ports were 20 odd not so long ago

      • Yep. Literally no need to buy a device that was obsolete a decade ago, when you can get gigabit today for the same pricve. 2.5Gbps is starting to come in and available on many newer motherboards.

  • Noob question - I got a 100/40 NBN plan, and currently trying to find a way to share a single LAN connection from a powerline network adapter (300mpbs).
    What's the best way to share that 300mbps powerline network adapter? I googled it and apparently I could re-configure an old modem to share the powerline LAN cable to other LAN devices, but not sure if I should get that gigabit switch recommended by some of you: https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/Networking/Switches/2151…

    So my options are:
    1) reconfig old modem (with 100/10 ports) or
    2) get this deal or
    3) the gigabit switch??

    Thanks

      300mbps powerlines adapters have 100mbps port(s)

      • really? I thought it is 300mpbs?!
        This the one I got: https://www.tp-link.com/au/home-networking/powerline/tl-wpa4…

          The spec sheet shows this:

          Interface: 10/100Mbps Ethernet Ports


          Only Fast Ethernet (100Mbps), Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) and 10 Gig Ethernet (10 Gbps) ports exist.
          Generally, 10 Gbps is for servers but most computers have gigabit ports.


          I got a 100/40 NBN plan

          Ages ago when I had my av300 kit, I was getting 90Mbps out of 115, the limiting factor of course was the EoP device (and it's 100Mbps port). Upgraded to an AV2000, 113 down.

          If you are a light user your kit should be fine but if you have a few devices connected as I do, I suggest upgrading to anything that is AV1000 or above

      To add a little more information, generally allow to only obtain 30% of an Ethernet port's rated interface speed, eg. 1Gbit ethernet will have 300Mbps throughput or 30MB/s.

      • Where did you get this info from? Also, how are those 1gbps NBN plan holders posting speed tests upwards of 500-900mbps ?

          Yeah, it's total hogwash.
