Strengths: Fast switching and effortless setup.
Weaknesses: Power supply design.
Summary: Netgear makes the most reliable home and small office networking products on the market. The switch performed flawlessly and works with either patch or crossover cables. The power supply design is unnecessarily bulky making it difficult to use in combination with other adaptors on powerstrip type surge protectors.

Strengths: easy to install.
Weaknesses: None that I've seen yet.
Summary: I've been wanted to easily expand my network capability since I got PCs. There were no install CD so you can just plug in your lines. this product does the job well. Switch is well than hubs when you share your date with PCs.

Strengths: Stable
Weaknesses: None
Summary: This switch is plug and play and works right out of the box. It's very quiet and great throughput. It's small enough to hide under the desk.

Strengths: easy to install and trouble-free
Weaknesses: speed
Summary: This product is easy to install. Just plug and play then it works. It runs flawlessly 24 hours a day and 7 days a week from day one and there is no any issue. I am pretty happy about this. However, the speed is not quite gigabit. It can reach over 100M but far away from 100M.

Strengths: Sturdy, small housing. Simple and easy to use. Doesn’t really generate much heat. Robust metal case, heavy weight makes it won't slide.
Weaknesses: None so far, except a bit pricey.
Summary: I’ve bought couple Netgear switches now and have been very happy with them, especially this one. I bought this one because of its reliability and it never disappoints me. What can I say? If you are looking for a solid network switch and willing to pay a little bit more, you should consider this one.

Strengths: warranty - no fan
Weaknesses: case can get hot but it seems to act as a heatsink
Summary: this unit appears to be for business use than home use. the switch (not a hub) manages traffic on a network and allows and manages the data that flows. this unit has leds for active connections as well as data collisions (nice to look at but not terribly useful as you will likely not have collisions). Unit is heavy enough so multiple cables won't tip the unit. They also include plastic anchors and screws if you want to attach the unit rather than let it sit loose. It is a good switch.

Strengths: great construction, useful led indicators
Weaknesses: leds and ports on same side
Summary: Very good product for connecting a couple of home computers in a small network or connecting them to a common internet connection. For MOST people don't be tempted to buy gigabit speed switches - this is more than adequate for the majority of users. Paid $12 after rebate as of October 2007. Good value. The case is metal and the power block is good quality as well. I would recommend this unit. Does what it should at a reasonable price. This is not a managed switch - it simply routs traffic.

3 Star ReviewIt is not cheap, but stable
Strengths: Stable, easy to install, great case (metal)
Weaknesses: Simple manual, expensive
Summary: 2008-02-13 11:18:06 It is great switch, not cheap, but steady, great case from metal, can be attached on the wall. The size ?, small. It is come with simple manual, but actualy you don't need that. Dual speed 10-100, but you will never use it. Very light though.
