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

Great product. Works as advertised.

It stole my bicycle.

Moved everything off the router and the two other switches I have to just this one and REALLY sped it up! I used two cat6 cables to my Synology NAS box and really helped it to. Nice box. Totally happy. My outside wireless AP even got faster. Shipping was great and another Good Amazon experience.

This switch does what it is supposed to do. It did not bite. It did not shoot flames at me. It did not make improper advances to my coworkers. It sits on a shelf, connects all of our computers to the router, and does not complain. Who could ask for more? When the impending robot apocalypse arrives I expect this switch to remain neutral.

perfect

All the speed and quality of Cisco at 1/2 the price

For a small network these are great units. No power brick to deal with, and they are rack mountable. Out of the box, plug them in and connect your patch cables. All there is to it for these.

Met my needs for a network backbone and server connection point for a small to mid-size business.

Very reasonable price, solid construction, Netgear just makes a killer product. For the money you simply cannot do better than Netgear. I have been using and selling their products for over 15 years and highly recommend everything in their product line. This is a very well made switch. Reliable and clean design, this is a hard act to follow. Buy it. Youll love it.

I bought one of these several years ago and while it has worked flawlessly the noisy fan has always bothered me. I need another one and debated on whether to get another JGS516 or go with the GS116 that doesnt have a fan. In the end I decided to stick with what works and ordered another JGS516. It arrived today and I was pleasantly surprised to find this model NO LONGER HAS A FAN! In fact it looks like the guts are completely different. Only time will tell if it works as well as the previous version but for now I am enjoying the silence.
