Digital camera reviews of NETGEAR GS108 ProSafe 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Desktop Switch
Digital camera Review: Average Performance - Short life
Summary: 1 Stars
I had this average performing device for 11 months before it began behaving erratically. Netgear's out of US warranty service requires you to pay for shipping both the return and the REFURBISHED one that they send back to you.
I expected much more from Netgear and this device.
Digital camera Review: BAH!
Summary: 2 Stars
Well, it's a great unit but after 2 years of use the capacitors in it blew out and now it's a doorstop. I guess the question is how long should a gigabit switch last? Far as I'm concerned, with the rate of technological advances in the world, something like this ought to last until it's 'old school'. So I'm an unhappy camper. Overall I've always bought Netgear products when there was a choice because I've felt they were well built units. I've got several 'old school' routers/hubs/switches from Netgear that are still working so perhaps this is just a cheap-arsed unit...dunno. I'm off to find a non-Netgear unit to replace the GS108. sigh.Digital camera Review: Be aware of th bogus "Lifetime Warranty"
Summary: 1 Stars
I was attracted by the "lifetime warranty" and bought it from Amazon.
The product broke after 1.5 years. It stopped working and all lights were flashing. When I called the support line, was told that I have to purchase the 3yr service contract in order to let their technicians to look at the products. The contract would cost about $30, but no guarantee that they would accept the problem and order an RMA or replacement for the "lifetime warranty". If you add the possible shipping cost that they are going to charge.... It's like buying a new unit!
NetGear has to do a better job when claiming "lifetime warranty"
Very unhappy about this business practice.... Be aware of the "Lifetime Warranty" from NetGear.
Digital camera Review: Been working great
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't know a lot about these type of items just know been using a D-Link for the last 4.5 years and it finally died on us. Our internet provider told me to contact the manufacturer but figure it wasn't worth it becuase it has been constantly on since January 2003 so got our monies worth. Expect this to last just as long or longer. What is nice about it is I have more outputs 7 vs 4. Believe we received an increase in speed too because the lap top with a slower processor is faster now and the connection is at 100mbps which takes full advantage of the cable connection. So far everything is working great. Will let you know if it holds up.Digital camera Review: Best Switch Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
This switch I purchased from Amazon is great. I plugged all my connections and it worked perfectly automatically. Could not ask for better performance.
