USA Power Adapter in box - Not compatible with AUS/NZ sockets

Reviewed in Australia on 22 February 2021

Style Name: 8 portVerified Purchase

The USA power adapter has wrong plug-in pins and is incompatible with AUS/NZ power sockets. This adapter is actually illegal in Australia.

Any plug-in adapter has to be Aus Certified and have a C-tick conformance label.

This is not NETGEAR's fault but the supplier to Amazon is at fault.

Item came with overseas power source and no adapter

Reviewed in Australia on 9 June 2020

Style Name: 8 portVerified Purchase

I unpacked the item toady 09/06/2020 as I have been to busy. I went to plug in my my switch only to find in had an over seas power plug either US or Asian, no adapter was supplied and no warning on site this item ships with overseas power source. So can not rate this product any higher. The vendor is the low score not the switch.

Comes with a foreign power supply not Australian, despite being sold by Amazon Australia! You’ll need to buy a DC5v power supply to a plug adaptor.

Performs decently for the price, locks up occassionally

Reviewed in Canada on 22 December 2018

Style Name: 10 port | 2xUplink (10G)Verified Purchase

EDIT 06 March 2020: In the past 5 months I have had the switch lock up completely taking whole swaths of infrastructure down with it. I contacted Netgear and their response was "Did you try unplugging it and replugging it in"... So I did. The switch works for a time again.

It is unclear what the problem is, perhaps the switching tables are getting full and causing the switch to crash. Or maybe it does not have enough ram. Either way I do not trust this switch as part of critical infrastructure anymore.

I have since noted that Netgear has now listed the problem on their FAQ indicating that I am not the only one with this problem. I suppose it's a decent switch to sit on your desk if you can unplug it every once in a while. For me, I am away from the building where this switch is active for days at a time. With no remote management (and I have not put it on a smart plug yet....) it causes some grief

The network card in the desktop is Asus XG-C100C. All tests were run from the nas with the desktop acting as an iperf server. For the test the 10G interface is .239, the 1G interface is .198. If the 10G interface was being tested the 1G interface was disabled and vice versa. I used 6FT cat 6 cables into the uplink ports

Decent speeds and for a relatively low cost it brings big performance gains. I would have liked more 10gbe ports but the 8 port 10gbe switches are too expensive. For the number of 10gbe devices I have this provided the right cost/performance ratio for me

Perfect for my home setup

Reviewed in Canada on 9 April 2020

Style Name: 8 portVerified Purchase

Wanted to have a wired connection to my internet provider's modem for all of my main hardware, and this does the job. Have a 50ft Cat6 ethernet cable running from my modem to this switch and it provides the perfect "unmanaged" solution for a connection to my desktop, Xbox and Plex PC (all located on a lower floor and beside one another).

I have 300mbps up and 10mbps down speeds, and this switch's caps are nowhere near that, so I'm getting full bandwidth of my internet speeds.

TLDR: For those of you that want to expand your ethernet ports and don't care to mess with technical settings, this is the ethernet switch/expander for you.

Predictably well-built and reliable. Power and indicator layout could be an issue.

Reviewed in Canada on 24 June 2020

Style Name: 8 portVerified Purchase

From a performance, reliability, construction aspect, this is a no-brainer. I've had a number of these and they're sturdy metal workhorses. I'm not worried about this thing flaking out on me anytime soon.

My only words of caution, or at least notes, is that the power plugs in on the opposite side from the ports. If this is somewhere you're going to be accessing/changing the config a lot, that may be preferable! But I found it a bit annoying for my setup, where I am just leaving it all plugged in for the most part, and there's stuff now sticking out of both sides, limiting the cleanliness of my setup and mounting options.

Also the status lights are on each of the ethernet jacks, so here again if you want to see what's going on you have to position this with the ethernet cables facing you, which can be pretty messy. Vs other switches which have all the ports on the back, but the status lights up front.

No frills entry level 10gbe switch that works

Reviewed in Canada on 31 December 2018

Style Name: 10 port | 2xUplink (10G)Verified Purchase

So don't laugh but I used this against a $50k+ Nimble SAN while waiting for a 48 port 10GbE switch worth like 50 times what this one was worth.

Both controllers fed the 10GbE ports of the HF20 and the other ports fed the ESXi cluster of DL380s. I wasn't pushing line speed normally but when vmotioning from the old SAN to the nimble I was hitting close to theoretical limit of the GbE ports, sustained, for hours on end, effectively 100MBPS on ESXi side. Jumbo frames MTU 9000 not a problem. Not bad for a $250 switch, and perfect for this case. We had 50+ production VMs running on this for weeks before swapping in the Arista.

I cannot comment about reliability on this particular unit. But generally I rate this line of Netgear products are very reliable (all is relative, of course.. consider the price range). In practical terms I have dozens of various 8/10 port GbE / PoE switches, some many years old, in somewhat hostile environments and have only had a few ports failure.

Not done yet

Reviewed in Canada on 11 November 2020

Style Name: 8 portVerified Purchase

I read that it was a simple plug and play but then the netgear folks came with going online and then i had to pair stuff etc...which i have no handle on...making this easy installation harder....a week later i received a not from netgeat saying that my connection wasn't successful....however my computer runs faster....which was one of the main goals.
But i don't know how to fix it now, and my learning time is limited.
What i find most frustrating these days is that so much has to be done by the purchaser, whatever those issues might be: i wanted a business address, instead of just a website....but i had to go online to find it and that took too much time....then an ad gave me something of interest, but i had to go online....and after doing computer rebooted from an update, i had to go online....what the heck is this about? Easier to work? not really? i can open my old physical address/contact book and find that info in moments.....etc...
So in this case, i, without such knowledge, can now search the web, the netgear community, etc...to fix this seemingly simple issue.
It's similar to a federal government downloading responsibilities, etc...to the state, or province or region....and they will then in turn download to the municipal level...What the heck is this in getting The Job Done? why make it harder?
