Kind of managed switch
I purchased this lightly used and came with original instructions and paperwork. The speeds are fine, I did some testing and it tests up as full gb switch. This does not have web interface, you must install adobe air (windows) to administrate this device.

Does not have LACP as it was advertised
I bought the switch, because of the LACP. It has just static LAG and I could not get that to work with my NAS. Lets summarize: Microcenter advertises features that the product does not have. Can you trust them, anymore

I have found the GS116 to be an excellent device for my home network
I have found the GS116 to be an excellent device for my home network. With no setup required it performs well and has, so far, given me no problems.

Excellent Lan Switch!
Does exactly what you would expect. Currently feeding 9 devices with gigabit lan and doing so intelligently, so that power is only supplied to those ports that are active. A professional product, well worth the money if you need a large amount of ports, with a bit of room for further expansion in...

Plug and Play Well Built
I wall mounted this internet switch which replaced three various smaller capacity switch boxes that were daisy chained together. Plug it in and let it rip. Nothing else to do but watch the blinking lights. Very sturdy well built unit.

Spews RF Interference - Earth the chassis!
I have two of these and whilst the networking performance is superb, they interfere massively with my ADSL broadband. Simply putting this switch within about 1 foot of the router causes the sync speed to drop from 9.5Mbit to 4Mbit.

Works as expected
In the last year or so I've purchased other Netgear products and I've been satisfied with them. I see no reason to go with another vendor while they, in my experience, have provided me with good products and good customer support.
Pros:
- Easily Expanded
- Easy To Set Up
- Fast
- Reliable
- Small

This is my second Netgear prosafe 16 port switch. I bought this to connect my nas server with LAG support. Works very well and file transfers are very fast. Low power consumption and a fanless design make this a good addition to a home or business gigabit network.
Pros:
- Small form factor
- Very fast
- Supports LAG and VLAN
- Green power
Cons:
- No rack ears

Fixes the problem and stays fixed
These switches have proved solid for me over the years. I was happy that Staples had one in stock, so I could get the network back up quickly and not have to worry about it going back down.
