NETGEAR 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (JGS516) - Desktop or Rackmount, and Limited Lifetime Protection

Bought for the office. Works great!

Does the job and does it well. Mounted easily.

Ideal for a small business or home. Router works and has features that are in more expensive routers and the switch works well.

Its fast, its absurdly easy, and durable. All metal casing, 4 screws attack each rackmounting ear, and the ears line up perfectly on standard 19 rackserver rails. Plus, its inexpensive. Netgears commercial-grade stuff is usually really good, and this is no exception.

Easy to use and install but did not expect it to break that easily Reached to Netgear and they are sending a new device, hope it works better

NetGear makes awesome products. Would highly recommend this to anyone!! Durable and reliable & easy to setup!!

When you have more than a few internet connected devices, this is what you need. This goes between your internet providers router and your devices. Ive never noticed any latency in response, even with the number of devices connected in my home. (3 tv boxes, 4 desktop computers, 6 laptops, 5 tablets, an xbox and three playstations, a smart home controller and devices, anywhere from three to 10 cell phones depending on whos visiting, and smart devices are my average load) I liked the performance so well - we never noticed it, which is just what you want! - that when a power surge wiped it out, we replaced it with the same thing.

As another reviewer said, its a boring product, but hey, it works. Weve had one in place for 3 years and its never caused a problem. Id call it a solid product.

So many reviews have mentioned the loud fan in this model that when I received it, and it was silent, I returned it thinking it was defective! I just got my replacement unit and it is also silent. I am left to believe that either: A: it only gets loud when hot. B: they have replaced the noisy fan with a quiet one. C: I got two defective units. I went ahead and installed the switch and it is working great so far for my home network.

In desperate need of a new switch for my home network, I did a search on Amazon for a replacement bordering on commercial grade. The only requirement was that I did not want to pay the typical price for a commercial grade piece of equipment. After looking at specs and reviews, I decided to go with the Netgear JGS516 product. Although not really a commercial grade product, it seemed to strike the right balance of performance and cost. Also, it had 16 ports and this was about the number which I required. Installation could not have been easier - you just plug it in and connect your cables. All of the configuring is automated. This item also has the ability to detect gigabit connections and automatically adjust to ensure optimal performance. This negates any need for me to do sys-ad work - something at which I am not skilled. Its been about two months since I installed it. There have been no problems to date. All in all, a good product for the money.
