An economical GB switch [Posted on 2007-06-26] 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.
7 months old paper weight [Posted on 2007-07-17] 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.
A Good product in small case, but big package [Posted on 2007-08-16] For long time I have a prefer for the Netgear product, that is a great brand.
For the GS116 I recomend for smart and this small case, ideal for a desktop or tiny or flat spaces, but not for a rack. The Gigabyte perfomance is excelent ( at SOHO and Home Networks )
the only tiny cons is that package will be just little.
Works well...plug it in and forget it. [Posted on 2008-02-13] The product works as advertised...no problems. Plug it in and forget it. The Auto-uplink sensing is nice...other switches I've used either had a dedicated uplink port or a manual switch to set.
Plug in, power on, done! [Posted on 2008-02-29] Basically, it was almost that simple. We needed to hook up 10 work stations to a T1 line and this box was perfect for the job. No issues or problems to date and it took 15 minutes from start to finish. Thanks! :)
