About NETGEAR 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged PoE Switch GS108PP
89% liked its broad compatibility, while 11% experienced compatibility issues
I would like a 24 port version of the switch.
83% praised for its redundant fan design, while 17% experienced fan failure issues
Despite having a fan, the router is quiet.
I love the separation of LEDs from the connectors, but my first two units had a very loud buzzing noise in the fan.
The fan noise is already annoying even with zero load.
I find the fan to be unusually noisy and it sounds like it's grinding a little bit. It's negative feedback.
80% praised for its easy management features, while 20% found it complicated to set up
It is difficult to manage the switch without the ability to label ports or VLANs.
I am returning the switch because it has a web GUI management feature, but I expected more features from a 'Smart Managed Plus' switch.
Switch management traffic cannot be separated from standard traffic, making it a major security vulnerability. Netgear has acknowledged the documentation error, but it is still being distributed incorrectly.
I have noticed that the management IP VLAN cannot be set, which may cause complications. The issue has been explained in detail.
93% liked the flexible mounting options, but 7% found it difficult to install
The switch comes with mounting brackets and fasteners for various scenarios like wall, desk, and rack mount.
I found the included rack mounting brackets with the switch surprising and impressive.
The mounting brackets of this switch are not a full 1U high and leave gaps.
95% praised for its fast network speeds
I am satisfied with the network speed, which is about 90% of the bandwidth speed compared to devices connected to the main router/modem.
Transferring data on LAN is great.
As a network engineer, I work with 100 gigabit circuits all day long, but at home I just want something simple.
91% liked the quiet operation, but 9% found it too loud
I have not noticed any loud fan noises coming from the switch, unlike other reviewers.
I have identified the noisy fan and its dimensions.
The switch is too loud for a home office or desk, but it's fine for a SOHO switch in a network closet.
My switch's fan is unusually noisy and sounds like it is grinding a little bit.
90% liked the ample port count, but 10% needed more ports for their setup
I have been looking for a 12 port poe (24 port total) Gig E switch for years and now I have found it.
I wish there was a 24 port version available.
If we connect more than three 11 watt devices to the switch, any device over port 3 will shut down after a while of use due to lack of power.
Some ports did not work and when they did, they cut out from time to time.
86% appreciated the durable construction
I like the robust and metal housing construction of Netgear switches.
The product has a flawless and sturdy casing.
The switch is heavy and made of solid metal, indicating high quality.
The switch is fast, small, attractive, and has a great set of features including PoE and 802.1Q VLANs. I am satisfied with its quality.
84% appreciated the robust security features, while 16% found them inadequate
I use this item with security cameras.
The switch has PoE and 802.1Q VLANs.
The security feature of the switch is weak as it only allows the use of a password. Adding at least a username would have been nice, but I wasn't expecting to do Active Directory or RADIUS auth on these.
