Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the product's flawless performance, ease of use, and speed, making it a valuable addition to their networks. The availability of numerous ports, reasonable price, and suitable size further contribute to customer satisfaction. On the other hand, some customers have expressed minor concerns regarding the clarity of instructions, while others suggest using a UPS for power outages. However, the switch is generally praised for not generating excessive heat or noise.

    This is the fourth Netgear FS ethernet switch that I've purchased over the last 15 years, and I love the durability and dependability of these Netgear switches. Have the FS105, 108, and now the 116 in my home network (the FS105 having been acquired circa 2005), and I gave my brother my other FS108 because he needed a dependable Ethernet switch for his home. Got this unit on sale at Best Buy, so it was an even better value.

    I thought I was doomed when my office network was down one Monday morning. My local Best Buy had this product in stock and I picked it up. As advertised, it was a process of simply unplugging the old non-functioning unit and plugging this new one in. There was no software or any programming needed to get it functioning. Very easy. The old unit was a much larger box and had a fan -- this one is much smaller and has no fan which makes it run silent.

    For small office applications where you don't need a managed switch, this is an excellent option that you should consider.

    If you have several devices you might as well get switch with plenty of ports and this switch has plenty of extra ports. Also, several my old switches have had a failed port after a few years. I used a different port to solve the problem, until I ran out of ports. If this switch ever has a failed port, I have plenty of extras. It's worth the extra money to have plenty of ports.

    16 ports, auto detect speed from 10Mbps to Gigabyte, backwards compatible to slower speed devices like printers allows this to connect to any network.
