Frequently asked questions

What does the warranty cover?

Our warranty covers all hardware faults, but please note it doesn’t cover accidental damage or software issues. However, we’re here to help with technical support for those matters!

What is a refurbished device?

At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items. We meticulously clean, test, and assess each device, replacing worn parts with high-quality components.

Description

Linksys SD208 — 8-Port 10/100 Unmanaged Fast Ethernet Desktop Switch

A simple, plug-and-play 8-port Fast Ethernet switch for home offices and small workgroups. No configuration required — connect and go. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Key Benefits

  • 8 x 10/100 Mbps auto-sensing ports: Automatically detects device speeds at 10 or 100 Mbps, ensuring backward compatibility with older and newer Ethernet devices alike.
  • Plug and play — no configuration required: Connect it, and it works. No setup software, web interface, or IT expertise needed to get your devices networked.
  • Auto-MDIX on all ports: Eliminates the need for crossover cables — any standard Ethernet cable connects seamlessly between any two devices.
  • LED activity indicators: Per-port LEDs show link and activity status at a glance, simplifying troubleshooting and network monitoring.
  • Compact desktop form factor: Small footprint fits neatly on a desk, shelf, or workbench without occupying rack space — ideal for small offices and home networks.
  • Certified refurbished with 12-month warranty: Professionally tested and graded by Reboot IT, Australia's trusted refurbished IT specialist since 2001.

Performance in Use

The Linksys SD208 is a reliable, no-fuss network expansion tool for environments where simplicity matters. Adding computers, printers, NAS drives, IP cameras, or VoIP phones to a small office or home network is as straightforward as connecting cables. The auto-sensing 10/100 ports ensure compatibility with virtually any networked device, from legacy office equipment to modern peripherals, without any manual configuration or speed negotiation.

For home users, the SD208 solves the classic problem of running out of router ports — plug it into an existing spare port on your router and instantly expand your wired network by seven additional devices. The compact size means it can sit alongside your router, under a desk, or in a media cabinet without occupying significant space. Power comes via a standard external adapter, keeping the unit small and cool during operation.

Small business environments benefit from the SD208's straightforward reliability. With no software to maintain, no firmware updates to manage, and no web interface to configure, there's minimal ongoing overhead. The switch operates silently, making it suitable for office, reception, and classroom environments where noise is a concern.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to configure anything to use this switch?

No. The SD208 is unmanaged — plug in your Ethernet cables and it's ready to use immediately. There is no software, web interface, or setup process.

Will this switch work with my Gigabit router?

Yes, it will connect to your Gigabit router, but devices connected via the SD208 will be limited to 10/100 Mbps. For full Gigabit speeds throughout, consider a Gigabit-rated switch instead.

Does it support PoE (Power over Ethernet)?

No. The SD208 does not supply PoE. Devices such as IP cameras or VoIP phones that require PoE will need a separate PoE injector or PoE-capable switch.

How many devices can I connect?

Up to 8 devices via the 8 RJ-45 ports. One port will typically connect to your router or existing network, leaving 7 ports for additional devices.

What shipping costs apply?

Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout.
