I needed extra ports, as more capacity was developed at my office. Have​ used it for couple months, and have had no issues. Nice little Ethernet switch.

Needed a switch with 14 ports so this netgear worked great for my needs. Easy to install and setup and has been flawless so far over the first month.

The Blue Netgear unmanaged switches are the gold standard for reliable, no-hassle Gigabit switches. I've used the GS105 and GS108 for years. To reduce spanning-tree problems (and eliminate a non-Netgear swtich), I purchased this 16-port version. It's been a month, but so far, so good. And as far as I can tell, I don't see any major spanning-tree issues if I plug or unplug a switch off of one if this one's ports.

Needed to purchase a few of these for a client in an emergency, they are holding up well and performing great. And they were at a decent price point too.

Need to update my hardware and simplify it and this switch was perfect size and worked right out box no problem.

easy setup works great had a linksys 8 port witch also work well just not enough ports

This was an upgrade for a switch with the same number of ports. This one is much more compact and works flawlessly. Netgear has great products.

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.

Great price. Works perfectly as a switch in my onQ connecting my whole house. If you don't need poe then this is a great switch.

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.

Super easy set up, literally plug and play. Took all of about 20 seconds to set up. Switch has been running rock solid for over a month.

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.

This is so easy to set up and then once its up its been bullet proof, love this switch among switches

Great switch, super easy to use and enough ports to activate every line in my house with wired internet. Small in size so easily fit in wall panel.

Works great to increase speeds! Cant believe the difference! My son loves the super fast speed while gaming!

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

works great, replacing an old dying 10 port switch with this one. network speeds increased dramaticly.

Great switch, pretty sturdy and durable. More than enough ports and indicates make it easy to figure out what ports are in use

Its currently working with no problems i would recommended but also would like power and ports on the same side

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