Bought this to replace 3 smaller switches chained together in a home closet. Pulled it out of the box and plugged it in and it just works. Lights let me know one port was only 100mbps. I swapped out a cable and it increased to the 1000 which the device was. Very happy with the price and performance.
I got the switch about a year ago with the intention of hardwiring ethernet ports through my whole house, but never got to it. Finally I was able to install everything by running the cables through the attic to a central switch to connect to my main router. The switch was exactly what I needed, although being a cyber person I only now realized I had purchased the unmanaged. In the future I will upgrade to a managed switch so I can have more control.
All of the ports work. Device feels solid and the housing does a good job of keeping the temps down without a fan. Throughput is excellent, have not had any issues under heavy load. No fuss device, just plug it in and go. Using this to supplement the ports on my Nighthawk Router.
I really didn't know what I was doing. I needed more connection points for devices in my home network - more ethernet cables to connect different rooms in my house and sources. I started searching the internet on home networks, learning how to connect things. I have used Netgear equipment for a long time, routers, modems, etc... I found the 16 port gigabit switch and bought it. I placed it in a central electronic cabinet where all the ethernet cables pass - determined which cable went to/came from, connected them up and the home network was born. This 16 port switch has worked flawlessly and passes the internet to/from my pc at almost 900 mbps. Wow - thanks Netgear! I heartily recommend this switch to all. Thanks Netgear.
I've been in the process of converting our old telephone lines to cat5e ethernet ports, this device was a perfect addition to expand my options.
I had been dealing with problems with another brand of gigabit switch. Since the rest of my equipment was Netgear and I was not experiencing any problems with it, I figured I might as well get a Netgear switch. As soon as I plugged it in and moved over the ethernet cables, things that I had trouble getting to work all over the house just came to life and became reliable. So far I have had zero problems since installation.
When a product works as advertised than what do you do. You buy another one. Brought to enhance my camera system at home. True plug and play. have not had any problem just good stable video from the camera. I recommend this product to all. And i have be in the IT industry for over 25 years
I own a NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 wireless router already, and really like it, I needed some switches to help with setting up a home network, and decided to go with NETGEAR again, and get the GS316. So far it has not disappointed me, it works real well, and does what I need it to do. It seems to generate very little heat, and since it is in a small space this is good. I have not had any network issues with this switch yet.
FAST. Description on web site incorrrct. This model has no POE feature.
Don't buy this item to power your cameras or phones because there is now poe functionality on the switch even though walmart claims the it has it. The switch came and I was getting ready to plug my camera in. I seen that there was no indicator light that it was connected. I looked at the box to make sure it was poe and the term was no where to be found. But when I look back at it where I purchased it it has PoE in the title and then when I look at the description it even has it spelled out (PoE) power over ethernet "Power your cameras, voip phones, and vpns." The switch is alright if it is on sell and you do not need poe but if that is the reason why you got this then it is kind of irritating. I am an IT Admin and have use for it is the only reason why I am not sending this back, so walmart got lucky they are not dealing with a return.
