Mine's been running perfectly for 18 months, now. I plugged it in and it has done everything I've asked of it over that time without the slightest problem.

This arrived a day earlier than I expected. I installed it in my expanding home network and it worked without my having to do more. The product is solid due to its external metal housing is mounted on on a well ventilated wall with the supplied screws.

Excellent product, very simple and easy to use. Easy hookup and operation.

great

people dont give netgear enough credit for setting standards, but they should. sure you can get another 8 port gigabit switch for $19 but it doesn't have as much memory or processing power which slows down the performance of the switch.

This is a tough switch. Our company's gear goes through hell during transport but this little guy can take the abuse... and then some!

Solid, robust construction; And fast too! Never had so much as a hiccup from this switch; I use it to run Cobranet between my PC and my company's line array PA system; It sits on top of 2 stacked subwoofers pounding at high SPL's and works/looks just as it did out of the box

What if it's too expensive to buy a manageable switch but it's still necessary to separate telephony from other traffic in a small office? Usually it's typical to use smart switches that allow gaining control over the network with only a slight increase in the price of equipment.

Management simplicity; The presence of a cable tester; Protection against loops and broadcast storms; Traffic QoS support; Virtual networks support; Moderate size; Protection against simple DoS-attacks; Affordable price; Lifetime warranty from the vendor

The impossibility of connecting four PoE clients with maximum power consumption simultaneously; The absence of the Russian language in the interface of the management utility; The impossibility of turning the switch port on or off; setting its speed and duplex manually and to disable protection

I was looking for a Gigabit switch than can definitely push the whole bandwidth through. This cutie's internal circuit is much faster than Gigabit so if you have several Gigabit devices connected to it, it should still be able to give max. throughput without issues.

I needed another small gigabit switch for the network and this fit the bill perfectly netgear has a very good warranty they have taken care of my problems with any of their equipment in the past. I am happy with this 8 port gigbit switch especially for the price

Nice size and also the light indicate clearly what speed easy to connect and work right away. if you need one it is a good one.

Excellent fast & cheap used switch. Commercial quality metal case, desktop or easy to hang on wall w screw slots provided.
