Q: QuestionCan this be used for LAN parties on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, or even PC? Also does this switch have Auto-MDIX as well?

Asked 2 years ago by Christian.

• A:Answer Hi Christian. I just wanted to let you know this device can provide you a LAN party for xbox, switch(the game console), and PC as well. Since all these devices can be connected using an ethernet cable they will work on this managed ethernet switch. However I will say as this is a managed switch unless you need to setup a VLAN you should get an unmanaged switch as they are easier to setup and take less configuration. Unmanaged switches work great for LAN parties from personal experience. However if you also want to make vlan that this overall would be a very great switch to purchase.

Asked 2 years ago by Dean.

• A:Answer While I don't know which model you may have, I can say that if you are using one with an Ethernet connection I don't see why it would not work with this switch. The Netgear GS108E does not provide PoE (power over Ethernet).

Q: QuestionHow is this switch for streaming and gaming?

Asked 4 years ago by merv.

• A:Answer I don’t use it, but it does support QoS, so you could configure that. The only time that should be an issue is when you’re maxing out your internet speed, like downloading something while gaming/streaming. So basically, this will perform like any other managed switch.
