Digital camera reviews of NETGEAR FS116 16 Port Fast Ethernet Switch with Auto Uplink (10/100)
Digital camera Review: Short Life span
Summary: 1 Stars
After countless hours of troubleshooting and replacing my DSL with Cable Modem service I found that this Netgear 16 port switch was the problem. It worked good for about 1.5 years then crapped out. It started with constantly dropping VPN connections then just got worse from there. If you only are using this switch for about a year then buy it; If you expect it last longer forget it. This also happened with a 16 port dlink i purchases prior to this one. You get what you pay for.Digital camera Review: Simplicity!! Excellence!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Takes seconds to set up and works amazingly well. Product is durable, reliable, and Netgear guarantees their ProSafe line for a lifetime.Digital camera Review: The product came very quickly and works fine.
Summary: 5 Stars
The product came very quickly, actually a week before the expected date. I plugged it in a connected it to my home network and it works fine.Digital camera Review: Unethical Netgear Does NOT Honor Warranties
Summary: 1 Stars
The equipment is OK. I mean, not really much to go wrong since it's just a switch.
The problem is Netgear will not honor the supposed lifetime warranty. Worse is they have you on hold for ever, bounce you from one tech (sorry, they call them "engineers" - an insult to real engineers everywhere) to the next.
Finally they tell you the problem is software (even the power light does not illuminate yet somehow it's software, who'd a thunk it) and try and bill for premium support rates. When that was refused they hung up on me.
So, yes, Netgear stuff might seem like a good deal but be prepared to replace it on your own nickel when it fails (mine lasted 8 months).
Digital camera Review: Very Pleased
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
