Overall Satisfaction with NETGEAR Ethernet Switches

I've used these both for personal use and at work. For personal use, they just work, and I rarely ever have to power-cycle I've had up time for several years with no issues. At work, they link small workstations and printers when we don't have the appropriate number of drops, in the location. Often temporary, but often temporary turns into longer due to organizations' needs.

Pros

  • Up Time.
  • Easy to set up.
  • Just work.
  • Inexpensive entry level.

Cons

  • AC adapter cord is too short.
  • The cheapest model feels cheap.
  • Prevents downtime.
  • Easy for entry-level techs to work with.
  • The cost to quality is great.
Many different brands have their pros and cons; it depends on the use case and the budget constraints of the project, and also the location. Determining the scope of the project and all the variables is crucial when evaluating which product to use and where. There is so much competition in this sector, and you make the best decision based on crunching all the data.

Would you buy NETGEAR Ethernet Switches again?

Yes

Great for entry-level networking, and the cost-to-quality ratio is great for the average consumer. I've used them in a crawl space that is not climate controlled, and it just works and provides the switching capabilities I need. These are great for users that don't have a ton of experience and can simply try to troubleshoot with a simple power cycle.
