Description

Unlock the potential of your network with the Netgear GS110MX Ethernet Switch. This compact, reliable switch brings together 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports for everyday devices and two high‑speed uplink ports that support 10G/Multi‑Gig connectivity. The dual uplink ports automatically detect the speed of the connected devices, enabling a seamless upgrade path from standard Gigabit to 2.5G, 5G, or 10G links as your network needs grow. Perfect for small offices, home offices, and multi‑device workspaces, the GS110MX delivers crisp, low‑latency performance for desktops, laptops, NAS devices, and media servers without complexity or bulky equipment.

  • Eight Gigabit Ethernet ports provide solid, reliable wired connections for everyday devices such as desktops, printers, and streaming devices.
  • Two uplink ports offer 10G/Multi-Gig (5‑speed) connectivity to your router, NAS, or another switch, enabling faster backhaul for data‑intensive tasks.
  • The two uplink ports automatically detect the connected device speeds, delivering optimal performance across 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps, and 10 Gbps links.
  • Designed to scale with your network, the GS110MX is ideal for upgrading from a basic Gigabit setup to multi‑gig performance without overhauling your entire infrastructure.
  • Easy to deploy and manage in small spaces with plug‑and‑play practicality, making it a smart upgrade for home labs, remote offices, and growing work environments.

How to install Netgear GS110MX

Installing the GS110MX is straightforward and designed for quick deployment with minimal setup. Follow these practical steps to get your network up and running:

  • Place the switch on a sturdy surface near your broadband router, NAS, or primary network hub. Ensure there’s adequate airflow and a stable power source.
  • Power the device by connecting the included power adapter to a nearby outlet, then plug the adapter into the GS110MX. Wait a moment for the device to boot up.
  • Connect devices you want on the local network to the eight Gigabit Ethernet ports using Category 5e/6 cables or better. For most home and small office devices, standard Cat5e or Cat6 cables are sufficient.
  • Use high‑quality cables (Cat6 or better) to connect your router, NAS, or a server to the two 10G/Multi‑Gig uplink ports. This ensures you can tap into multi‑gig speeds when needed.
  • Power on your devices and verify link lights. For most setups, devices should automatically negotiate the best available speed with the switch.
  • If you have an existing network management system or VLANs, configure them as needed using your network’s standard practices. The GS110MX is designed to integrate with typical small‑office networks and can be expanded as requirements evolve.
