Dave Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I just walked out of my server room after fumbling with multiple switches and have decided it's time to get a 16 port one two replace an 8 and a 5. I found a deal sheet for newegg and there are two listed. So these would probably be considered the low price alternatives. Netgear $134.99 with promo code EMCJJJC42 MIR for $25 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833122139& TrendNet $84.99 with promo code EMCJJJC43 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833156293& Throwing it you guys now. Anyone had luck with either one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImTheTypeOfGuy Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 The netgear switch is nice. I have the jgs516 and love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Welch Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I also have this NETGEAR ProSafe GS116 its been working great for 2 years now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazz Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Netgear ProSafe and not the white, low-buck units (though, I don't think they go up to 16 ports with those). Yes, good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcdoc Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Absolutely the Netgear over the Trendnet. Alternatively you can look at this one it has worked well for me for the past 8 months or so. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817111030 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has worked great for around a year for me. Nice piece of hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wodysweb Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) I'm a big fan of the cheap Dell Powerconnect switches, amazing features, and low prices. Get a refurb Powerconnect 2724 for $77! I've used these in several installs, never had one fail yet. http://www.overstock...65/product.html 24 ports, managed device, QOS, link aggregation, VLAN tagging, jumbo frames, rackmount, can't be beat. Even has 2 fiber ports for when you really expand your data center :-) EDIT - looks like Overstock's sold out now.... but I've bought them from here before too, they get them straight from Dell. http://www.txcesssurplus.com/servlet/the-7163/Dell-TJ689-PowerConnect-2724/Detail Edited November 20, 2011 by wodysweb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Absolutely Netgear over Trendnet. In my mind it's not even a question. I recently installed a Netgear Prosafe Plus GS116E and home-runned all network jacks the house. I specially like that the switch has basic management capabilities (VLAN, QoS, etc.). I don't require full blown management features in a home switch, but having the essentials is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
