Still, much faster than 100 meg switches. I copy a lot of large files and noticed this switch is slower than my 8 port (5 minutes instead of 2.5 minutes per 2GB). Had the 8 port Prosafe managed switch. Needed more ports so I purchased this one.
I would recommend it to anyone needing expanded hardwired capability in gigabit connectivity. It is an integral element in my home network and provides the flexibility for multiple hardwired connections I needed. The product arrived quickly. It was very easy to install and worked as expected right out of the box.
I don't mind tossing paper cups, i don't expect them to last very long, but swithches and routers, i expect to at least get 3 years out of them. I have always trusted Netgear, but the last 3 items i have bought from them have failed in less than a year. Im with Bjorn, after 2 weeks of use i noticed that i had to unplug the thing after 72hrs of use. Now after 7 months i have 8 dead ports.
I have installed the switch down stream from my 4-port cable router. No problems intermixing 10,100,1000 devices. Right from the start, it could not be easier. The auto-sensing port configuration works as advertised. Further, the automatic uplink to the router was completely seamless without the need for a turn-over cable.Again, if you are looking for a dumb 16-port GB switch, I highly recommend this one. If you are looking for an economical 16-Port GB switch the GS116 is an excellent choice. Simply plug it in and it works.
When I changed the cables to CATVe on devices that allowed 1000 mbs, the led's changed. These indicators let me know that I had some older CATV cables in the system. In our small architectural office we view large image files off the server -- this switch speeds up our work significantly. Simple plug-n-play connection, comes with studs for wall mounting. Very nice led indicators that show you when you are connected with 10/100 or 1000 mbs.
