I ordered two routers and they came packaged and appearing to be new but after several hours of trying to figure out why one was not showing up on my network although it was working, I eventually figured out it had a manually assigned IP address unrelated to any address I use and I had to factory...

Although the switch itself has a "lifetime" warranty, the power adapter is only warrantied for two years. Our failed after about 2.5 years, and Netgear charges $27.00 for a replacement with is closed to 30% of the cost of the switch.

defective by design

Have 3 of these for home vmware lab. 2 for iSCSI MPIO storage network using jumbo frames feature. The other for my standard networks using vlans, and port mirror with NTOP. No issues setting up Vlans to route between each other using Cisco 1800.

Affordable managed Gbit switch with good feature set; Switch has enough memory to give true Gbit speeds; Hardly ever have to power cycle these suckers...very reliable

None for the cost

I have two of these 8-port gigabit switch that I use in my research. I use it to connect 4 old AMD athlon servers that I use for ridiculously long simulations. The other I use to connect two powerful servers to the university LAN so I can access data from it.

Solid little switch, love that it can be powered via PoE.

I love the hardware design, metal case is very attractive feature; Fast too, I had a an older unmanaged GS108 switch before, transfer speeds from my linux fileserver were usually around 830Mbps, with the GS108T speeds were usually 60Mbps faster, normally sitting around 890Mbps

Price

Mounted on my wall connected to my router, plugged in my printers & computers, needed a little support from Negear, got the software working on the Web, works great.

This switch has all the options I need to monitor and manage my network. Initial setup was easy and configuration was what I would expect for a switch with so many options. Had to exchange the first switch they sent me because the heatsink had fallen off in shipping.

Nothing more to add, the title says it all. In the quest for connection speeds and a growing number of items (16 devices) requiring conectivity, hard wired is the only way to go. Unmanaged routers simply plug and go.

Just what my project needed for our business conference tables. We purchased one at Staples and order another one.
