Great piece of tech, performs well, fast and has VLAN support (yay)! The UI isn't amazing but it gets the job done.

We ended up replacing a computer thinking it wasn't working when in fact it was the port on our switch that was bad. I did loop tests and determined that only 3-4 of the 16 ports were working. Created a ticket on Netgear's website, got an email that I would be contacted.

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.

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.

Our data processing system went down immediately when our switch failed. I thought we were going to have a replacement shipped to us overnight, but Office Max had the item in stock. This allowed us to continue operating, and our down time was only a couple of hours instead of 24 hours.

Easy to Use; value

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...

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.

Have not really utilized it fully yet so will update when I get into the more advanced aspects!

Was very impressed when opening the switch; Solid metal construction and very well packaged and documented

Have none yet

Maybe coincidence - but the unit I got wouldn't play nice with my PVR and my MAG254 iPtv died the moment I put it in. Since the NetGear come so highly rated - must be something with my unit.

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.

Small form factor; Very fast; Supports LAG and VLAN; Green power
