Digital camera reviews of NETGEAR GS108 ProSafe 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Desktop Switch
Digital camera Review: 17 months and "The Blinking Lights of Death"
Summary: 1 Stars
As the IT manager for a medium-sized business, I really like how solid these switches feel, but I won't be using them again. I used the switches in my home network, to help cut down on wiring back to the core switch. The Netgear GS108 failed after 17 months with the well documented "Blinking Lights of Death" malfunction, caused by failing capacitors. Unfortunately, I have several more that were purchased during the same time frame.
I recommend against purchasing this make and model of switch.
