Good choice for a basic 24 port Gig

As a nonprofit we were looking for an inexpensive 24 port Gig switch with basic features. I can find used ones on eBay for a little over $100. Since these have 2 fiber ports, we use them for the long fiber runs. At $100 these are actually cheaper than a fiber to RJ45 converter(gig).

Great manageable switch, easy to use and reliable

WE have brought this switch for over a year now. It is a great easy to use switch with many functions and features. It is a lot more reliable than Linksys high end switches.

Great switch with newer switch chip inside

Newegg has the best price and service. I wish Netgear made this switch open source.

NetGear's GSM switch series is engineered by a US team, they have improved a lot for their switches; We have put a lot test on this switch and it seems working great under heavy load; The switch allows trunking and select different way for trunking to distribute the traffic.

It is not an open source switch; If you like to change on its firmware, you have to look somewhere else; Basically, they have boot loader setup to load the firmware that would not accept open source firmware.
