Simple, yet powerful [Posted on 2007-03-08]
This piece of equipment is not only a reliable 24 port switch, it is almost a router. It provides QOS, DHCP, and many other functions routers provide. In addition, it gives you 12 ports of POE, which is probably as many as you would use in most applications. The management interface is very powerful, yet simple. For the price, nothing in the market touches it. Great job NetGear! I use mine for seven PCs and 12 VoIP phones with no problems. Highly recommended.
What a deal! [Posted on 2007-03-18]
I purchased two for our new Voice over IP phone system and I works great! Took it straight out of the box, plugged it in and it's been working like a charm. No configuration, just plug and play. Please keep in mind that only 12 of the 24 ports are POE ports. We saved $2,000 by purchasing this product over a simular Nortel switch.
Solid product and a good value. [Posted on 2007-03-23]
The unit is solidly built(steel enclosure), and works flawlessly like all my other Netgear switches. It's perfect for applications that need PoE to power Wireless access points, or for my purpose of powering and connecting a bunch of IP security cameras. A nice surprise was the price for this unit as it's much less than other PoE switches I looked into. In addition, having the two Gigabit connections were perfect for connecting it into my Gigabit backbone, and continuing the chain. I've yet to enable and configure CoS or other advanced features, but the UI seems straightforward. I'm not an IP expert, so this switch was a nice option rather than going to a managed switch. My only complaint with the unit is the fan is louder than I expected, noticeable loud in a room with a couple computers also running. All my other switches have been fanless, so I'm spoiled. In the end, I'd purchase another one. In fact I probably will real soon.
