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.
12-Month Warranty — Every Linksys SD208 sold by Reboot IT includes a 12-month warranty covering all hardware components and port functionality.

All-in-one Solution for Home Office
I was looking for an in-expensive all-in-one solution for my home office to replace my existing desktop and monitor. I found this EliteOne 800 on reboot IT for under $200. I wasn't sure what to expect. It arrived within two days!!!! I upgraded the RAM, replaced the HDD and installed Windows 11. This is unbeatable value and was the cheapest price online. Coupled with a 3-month warranty, Reboot IT are by far the best online refurbished retailer I have used. Awesome!

Fair tech for price
Fair tech for price, good specs for era, serves the purpose. The black keyboard is an interesting rubber like texture clearly by design to pad the screen and avoid the keyboard touching. Screen is great. Still looking for magic formula to enable computer use in the bright bright sunshine. Keyboard taps are loud for someone who likes silent touch. The perfect PC has to exist, like build a bear.

Works excellently as advertised.
The laptop was sold with a warning about worn keycaps. In fact they had been obviously vandalised (ex school laptops, perhaps?). The keyboard worked fine, and the rest of the laptop too. I'm using it as a file server, so I don't need the keyboard much. So very pleased, and also pleased with reboot-it's service - as always, excellent, and quick responses to any queries.
