I bought this because my network was only 100mbps and wanted to have vlan for my esx server. Everything works great with vlan and also the packet capture is great with the port mirroring option ! A great product !

Vlan capability; port mirroring; a very good small solution

Not enough ports ..; but enough for what I had to do

Although this device has more facilities than Netgear's basic FS108 switch, it is of similar size and design so upgrading is straightforward. You must also replace the power supply as the operating voltage is different.

We own two of these switches. One of them has seemed fined, but it connects a less-important set of network devices. The other switch, the one attached to a couple servers, has been buggy and problematic.

Metal case; good specs

Unstable; Buggy

PROS: 1. Lifetime warranty, Metal chassis, Netgear reliability 2. Best 8-port VLAN web-managed switch 3. Comes with wall mounting hardware and rubber feet. CONS: 1. Almost 2x the price of a managed TP-LINK 8-port switch, which really is only slightly worse for reliability these days.

Good switch, easy web management interface for QoS and VLAN configuration.

I've been looking to upgrade my internal home network, and found this while poking around at mem ex after a few minutes of research I grabbed it and wow, I used to get stutter occasionally from my network shares to my Boxee not anymore!

Managed Line testing; Power Savings QOS Auto DoS protection

None So Far

This range of switches from Netgear (5-Port, 16-Port and POE available as well) offers a great opportunity to provide your network with features that are usually reserved for much larger and more expensive devices.

VLAN; QoS; reliable and quiet

No web interface

This is a great router. it does exactly what it says it does. however, it does not come with a Rack mounting. What they consider a Rack Mounting kit is really two Screws and two small plastic type anchors to push into your wall. Not really a Rack Mounting Kit.

On Time Delivery Excellent Packing ! It is an joy full experience to receive a product with power plug that fits best for Indian socket

I was able to configure it to have a few vlans (though the setup procedure was slightly confusing but I figured it out). Other than that, it works well.
