Neat looking & does the job!
operating system:Not ApplicableWasnt too certain about the appearance from the photo, but not disapointed-very adequate quality & appearance-especially for price. Would look as much at home in the living room as in the office. Connections come neatly out of the back & no fan, so totally silent. Front panel looks a bit like the floor inicator panel in a lift-numbers 1 to 5 light in orange or Green for connection speed & flicker for activity. Worked fine straight out of the box-married up with netgear GA311 nics.
Excellent Speed, No Problems
operating system:Windows XPJust installed the switch. Plugged in the power, plugged in the CAT5 cables and it works straight away. Getting around 40% Network Utilization from my gigabit lan which is integrated into the motherboard. Thats a sustained transfer rate of 50 Megabytes per second (400Mbps). I think if anything, it is my hard drive which is the slowest part of the loop now. Anyway, excellent piece of kit and loots nice and shiny.
Transfer Speed
operating system:Windows VistaJust received this today and ran a comparison against the 8 port Plexus Gigabit Switch (QuickFind Code: 132467) I borrowed from work.
Transferred Windows XP SP3 file (1 file @ 316MB) from Windows Home Server to Vista Ultimate and vice versa a number of times, using the same CAT5E cabling in both switches.
Netgear reached 70MB/sec max and averaged 65MB/sec to and from server.
Plexus performed at 40MB/sec max and 33MB/sec average to and from server.
Much more compact than Plexus switch and looks good with the Netgear wireless router i already have.
Another quality Netgear product in my opinion.
Netgear Gigabit Switch
operating system:Windows XPI can only agree with Tom. Works perfectly straight out of the box. Haven't done any performance tests yet but coupled with a Linksys 32 bit NIC and a Linksys 64 bit NIC on my server it is much much quicker than my old 100Mb setup.
Much the same quality as the Linksys Gigabit switch but the Netgear is silent.
Only niggle, it is much smaller and a slightly differant design to my Netgear DG834 router that it sits on top of but still worth five stars.
What more could you want for 40 quid.
