Easy to setup, fast connection.......2007-05-09

Simple plug-n-play connection, comes with studs for wall mounting. Very nice led indicators that show you when you are connected with 10/100 or 1000 mbs. These indicators let me know that I had some older CATV cables in the system. When I changed the cables to CATVe on devices that allowed 1000 mbs, the led's changed. In our small architectural office we view large image files off the server -- this switch speeds up our work significantly.

Very good product.......2007-03-19

Got it managing 10 nodes of intense traffic (mostly to an Access database) and its been doing great. Network speed increased up to 5 times using Intel and Netgear's network adapters. No problem uplinking or with mixed 100 and 1000 mbps computers working at the same time.

my favorite switch.......2007-02-22

nice to see these babies coming down in price. it's a great switch, and the perfect compliment to my home - which is very conveniently wired for ethernet. now, I have a high-powered local area network - just in time to power my remote media serving setup in the house. set-up was a snap, just plug your devices in and you're blazing!

Not "meant to be plugged in all day".......2007-01-17

Netgear is supposed to have a 5 year warranty (2 on the power supply). I had one of these for about 18 months. Over the last months it's been increasingly flaky, every week or two it just hangs and needs to be unplugged and started again. It doesn't matter how much it's in use (it's done it when we've been on vacation with minimal network traffic).

I called Netgear to get it replaced, but they told me that it's not meant to be plugged in all day, so they won't fix it. Unless you actually unplug all your network equipement when you are not actively using it (I didn't think so), then I highly recommend avoiding Netgear products.

Excellent switch.......2007-01-10

Got the GS116 quickly. It installed without any problems. It works well in my development environment where I'm moving large files from one machine to another. I've always liked Netgear products and this one is no exception.
