I asked title question at amazon, and this is one answer I got:

Speed - FS is Fast Ethernet (10/100) and GS is Gigabit (10/100/1000)

However, I'd like also to know which one of these switches is better for a home network. By the way, I am getting currently speeds of 50 mbps down and 5 mbps up from my ethernet connection coming from the modem (gateway). I'd appreciate any input on this issue. Thank you.

Outwardly, the difference is the ethernet ports. This will not influence your performance talking to the outside world.
It will influence performance when talking between devices on your LAN. PC to PC.

10/100/1000 is faster than 10/100.
