Netgear defines quality when it comes network switches(at a fair price).
I've not come across another company that has set customer expectations as follows: "your network will be up and running in 10-15mins". From opening the package to connecting 5 network units took less than 7 mins and all worked fine first time. No noise, no fans, auto senses 100Mb and Gb network devices, gets a bit warm but nothing to worry about; could not be happier.
Only negative is that it worked so well so quickly, I just did not get enough time to play with it. Had four computers accessing a storage device, the transfer rates were excellent, the switch took everything I threw at it - certainly proved it was not going to be the weakest link on the network.
Definitely recommend this product!

Amazon Verified Purchase
I run a small network of about a dozen machines that need to connect to the internet, a central server and a few printers. I'm not after cutting-edge speeds and performance, I just need to plug and go.
With the GS116, that's exactly what you get. Plug it into the mains, plug the ethernet cables in and watch the lights go on, your network establish itself and you don't have to do anything else. (The ethernet cable to the internet router goes in one socket (I use socket 1 for this so I know which it is) and the computers and printers go in the others and everything just works.)
You'll forget about the switch as it sits in the corner doing it's job, and it doesn't make much noise as it gets on with things. I've used Netgear products before and this is another fine example of a cheap, solid product that does exactly what it says on the box - no fuss, no mess, no problems.
If you're in the market for a reasonably quiet, reliable switch, then try the GS116.

Bought this to replace a Linksys/Cisco Giga Switch which after being purchased new stopped working after two weeks and failed to be repaired by Linksys after 2 months. Urgent purchase of Netgear and it was shipped next day, plugged in and worked first time and hasn't stopped working since.

I now have 3 of these switches, they have never let me down and are completely silent as they have no fan. Just plug it in and forget.

So good it's just boring.
The switch arrived and it only took a couple of minutes to position it, plug in the power and connect a few network cables.
It's been working fine ever since. Read more

European model, not UK plug
This is described as being GS116UK, but the item actually delivered (from amazon.co.uk) was GS116GE, which comes with a European 2-pin plug rather than a UK plug. Read more

Does the job
I bought this switch to replace a 24 port 10/100 that started playing up. I have noticed a speed increase on the network as most of the NICs are 1000 so the improved performance is... Read more
