- Upgrading to 1G Ethernet
I have a large network of devices at home and have been waiting for a reasonably priced 16-port switch that would handle 1Gbps ethernet to improve the flow of data between these devices in my home.

RELIABILITY
Out of 6 Netgear GS line switches, I've had 2 fail outright and one requires reboots.

- Perfect
This couldn't be easier.I was a little surprised to get no instructions with this, but it turns out you don't need any.Just start jamming cables in the ports and it does the right thing.Even mounting it on the wall was easy.I have had this powered on continuously for about 4 months now with no trouble.

- Just plain works
I purchased this refurbished through Amazon.I plugged it into my router, connected my gear and haven't had to touch it since.I leave it running 24/7 and haven't even had to restart it, which can't be said for my FIOS router.It connects at the fastest speed it can without an issue.Very happy with my purchase.
