7 months old paper weightJuly 17, 2007 7 out of 9 found this review helpful
Im with Bjorn, after 2 weeks of use i noticed that i had to unplug the thing after 72hrs of use. Now after 7 months i have 8 dead ports. I have always trusted Netgear, but the last 3 items i have bought from them have failed in less than a year. I don't mind tossing paper cups, i don't expect them to last very long, but swithches and routers, i expect to at least get 3 years out of them.
An economical GB switchJune 26, 2007 8 out of 9 found this review helpful
Right from the start, it could not be easier! If you are looking for an economical 16-Port GB switch the GS116 is an excellent choice. Simply plug it in and it works! I have installed the switch down stream from my 4-port cable router. The auto-sensing port configuration works as advertised. No problems intermixing 10,100,1000 devices. Further, the automatic uplink to the router was completely seamless without the need for a turn-over cable.
Again, if you are looking for a dumb 16-port GB switch, I highly recommend this one.
Easy to setup, fast connectionMay 8, 2007 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
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 productMarch 19, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.
Not "meant to be plugged in all day"January 16, 2007 100 out of 105 found this review helpful
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.
