 Performed as Promised May 15, 2008

This is a boring category - especially for a small business with only moderate networking requirements.
I needed a short depth form factor to fit into a rack mount system. This device fit.
I wanted 1 GBPS to maximize desktop to NAS backup. This unit delivered. I can max out the link using Norton Ghost to DLink NAS from my Dell desktop. There was no performance degradation from adding 100MB and 10MB devices to the switch (there isn't a lot of traffic on the network).
So, it simply delivered on all needs.
Fan Noise Is Not a Problem November 4, 2009

This product is excellent for what its intended to do - unmanaged gigabit switch. Because others have appropiately covered the product's technical merits, I wish to focus on the issue of fan noise, which I think has been exargerated by some reviewers. I have had my product on continuously now for over 2 weeks - the noise is more a quiet gentle humming noise that stays on continuously - guite pleasant, actually. I have my switch installed in my walkin closet, which is adjacent to my bedroom. I can only hear the humming noise inside the walkin closet but not in the adjacent bedroom, and would not mind if my bed were any closer to the switch - this is really a gentle noise. My switch handles 6 IP cameras, 4 computers, 1 xbox game, the router and other network accessories - I am using all but one port. I am glad I did not downgrade to a lower model because of this exargerated noise issue noted by a few reviewers. I recommend this product, if you need that many ports as I did.
Netgear JGS516 Review August 27, 2009

It's an unmanaged gigabit switch, so there's no features to be reviewed. It does its job fine, in fact, I think the throughput might have increased when I replaced my SMC gigabit switch with this one.
Two things though, the fan noise is noticeable from 3' away. Heck, my Intel quad-core Antec Sonata rig is quieter than this switch.
Another thing is, this switch won't work if you have a mis-wired network cable. My old SMC switch will at least drop to 100mbit/s speed (since 4 wires required by 100mb/s speed are still correctly wired), with this switch, it's all or nothing. No big deal though, a good network cable fixes the problem.
I would've rated this a 4.5 star.
Great unit April 7, 2009

I installed this unit on a job and have been very happy with the function. I did not have my line tester with me so tested with my laptop just to see if I could connect. Later when I retested I found three lines that were crossed or otherwise incorrect but the switch fixed the errors and all were working anyway. One slight problem is that the fan is a bit loud. I installed the unit in an office space and the sound is noticable. It does not seem to bother the workers so I left the unit as mounted.

This product is a no brainer. Plug it in, attach your network components and you're done. Works with my two workstations, wall jack for intermittent notebook use, my Wii, my Verizon Hub and modem, addt'l downstream switches of different manufacture, network storage, you name it.
REALLY wanted to try the Cisco/Linksys product since that is what I have for other network products but after repeatedly reading negative reviews concerning longevity, I went with Netgear. Have had it about 2 months now so I really can't offer an opinion on Netgear's reliablility but the existing reviews were far better than the competition.
I have mine located in a downstairs office where ambient temp is always in the low 70s. I can barely hear the fan when I am sitting next to it on one of the work stations. In any other similar location, I would not consider fan noise to be an issue.
