For the best deal on the Netgear ProSafe FS116P Ethernet Switch, you'll want to compare prices before you buy. Our list of stores carrying the FS116PNA (located below) tracks merchants who often have bargain prices and great sales. If you don't see a price you like, you can always set a price alert, and we'll tell you when it's cheap. To make sure the deal is for real, we always verify the price at the merchant's website before we send you email. We've been verifying price alerts since 2003... something no other site does today.

Reliable, running continuously for over a year now.
I have been using this switch for over a year now and it has worked flawlessly without requiring any reboot (I attached it to a 500VA Tripp Lite UPS). I used it to power 4 Panasonic Poe IP cameras over CAT-6 Ethernet cables (2 of which are over 100-feet away) with zero drop outs. All four of these cameras are also outputting 640x480 30fps video simultaneously with no drop-out. Just plug in and go, setup can't be easier.
Proceed with caution
Fundamentally I like this switch (I own two of them), however I suggest you think twice before you commit to it. While it's great that they're small and fanless, BOTH of them developed several 'dead' POE ports. The ethernet function continued to work, but the POE function failed on several ports. Instead of 8 POE / 8 regular ports, I only had 6 POE and 10 regular ports.
Silent and functional
The high point of this switch is that it's PoE but silent. Ours is powering 6 toshiba IP telephone handsets. It did have one glitch in the first week where it needed to be power cycled (indicators on the switch indicated a fault for all ports.) but since then, it's been on for two months without a problem.| elapsed time: | 40.3ms |
