Working well
This is a straightforward plug and play unmanaged switch, you just plug everything in, power it up and it sorts everything out for you. These are something of a comodity item really and I'd expect any comparable item to work much the same in terms of speed, but I went with this one because I trust the brand and have better expectations for its lifespan/build quality than something from a company I've never heard of, and from a safety angle I feel more comfortable having something from a brand I trust plugged in to the mains power 24/7.It's compact and I wall mounted it easily. There's no fan or moving parts so it's silent and shouldn't accumulate dust inside it - but I did mount it sideways so dust won't settle inside the ports. One of the nice things about Netgear switches is their bright LEDs on each port, one to tell you whatever is plugged in has a network connection, and another to indicate if it's a gigabit speed connection. Not much on our home network runs at a gigabit yet - many things don't need to anyway, but I'm sure in time we'll be using more and more gigabit speed devices.

Great product easy to used. No configuration required
Good quality, still working well on a home network system. Un-managed so just plug it in and off you go.

Works
Plug and play. Need to upgrade going network after internet upgrade and to let WiFi catch up with speeds. Plug and play no issues at all. Box contains fittings for 19” rack but they are not 1U so a little untidy fitted.No issues powering POE APs or getting Gb speeds

OK
Good little basic edge router from a reasonably trustworthy brand (as opposed to some very dodgy brands around these days). Disappointing that there aren't enough smarts in this to even do port mirroring, and disappointing that there are no higher-speed 10GbE (at least) uplinks, since the total capacity of the ports means that the uplinks provided just don't cut it, BUT when mostly switching between 1GbE ports rather than distributing an uplink, it's a good little unit. Price is pushing expensive for such basic functionality though, these days.

Silent and highly effective switch
This device operates flawlessly, producing minimal heat and noise. It has replaced an outdated and inefficient Cisco switch, significantly enhancing efficiency. Highly recommended.

Use straight from the box
Worked straight out of the box - ideal.

Simplicity itself
I run a small network of about a dozen machines that need to connect to the internet, a central server and a few printers. I'm not after cutting-edge speeds and performance, I just need to plug and go.With the GS116, that's exactly what you get. Plug it into the mains, plug the ethernet cables in and watch the lights go on, your network establish itself and you don't have to do anything else. (The ethernet cable to the internet router goes in one socket (I use socket 1 for this so I know which it is) and the computers and printers go in the others and everything just works.)You'll forget about the switch as it sits in the corner doing it's job, and it doesn't make much noise as it gets on with things. I've used Netgear products before and this is another fine example of a cheap, solid product that does exactly what it says on the box - no fuss, no mess, no problems.If you're in the market for a reasonably quiet, reliable switch, then try the GS116.
