Has been up and running for over 6 months without a problem. Purchased this for our growing network to address problems we were having with cheap switches. This Netgear switch works great and was easy to install. Once we replaced the 2 cheap 8 port switches, all of our problems disappeared.One recommendation is to label your ports right on the switch. Makes for easier troubleshooting and allows for easy replacement of cables.
I purchased one NETGEAR FS116 as a central switch in parallel with a 12-port network punch-down panel in our newly constructed home. Excellent price, no-brainer set-up, and so far, excellent performance. I set up the new switch with a dozen 2-foot Cat5e patch cables, attaching the switch to my utility panel with the provided mounting screws, plugged the unit in, and I was up and running in about 10 minutes total time. As a survivor of the early days of PC networking, it's hard to imagine that things have become this easy and this affordable.
I am very happy with the switch. Plugged it in and in minutes everything was running perfectly. I have had no problems with this or any of the other (~10-15) Netgear ProSafe products we use.
Takes seconds to set up and works amazingly well. Product is durable, reliable, and Netgear guarantees their ProSafe line for a lifetime.
Works great. No setup other than plug in and it's ready to go. Nice to see products that are still built out of metal in this age of plastic everything.
