Description
Now you can put together a powerful, high-speed network on a small scale. NETGEAR's GS116 Copper Gigabit Ethernet Switch lets you build a system that can move even very large files across your network instantly, up to 2000Mbps on each port. The standards-based GS116 helps to protect customers' existing and future network infrastructure investments by painlessly integrating other 10, 100, 1000 devices as well as honoring layer 2 802.1p priority tags. Packed with ease-of-use features, this adaptable switch supports either PC or Macintosh operating systems. The compact size makes it ideal for home, small office, workgroups, departments and conference room environments. Its durable metal case has no fan for silent operation.

Strengths: no fan
Weakness: no rack mount dimensions
bought because it's silent, works as it should. To the people who comment about the higher per port price compared to the 8 port version: switching processing power is not LINEAR per port, but by the SQUARE. A rough approximation is (8*8)/(16*16) i.e. a 8 port switch requires only 25% of the processing power of a 16 port switch. Enclosure and other costs are more or less constant, but the...
Strengths: Easy to install and worked correctly right out of the box
Weakness: Netgear 8-port GS108 costs less per port.
We purchased the GS116 to upgrade the Ethernet connections around a small server cluster from an older 10/100Mb Netgear switch. After the upgrade, server-to-server file transfers are faster, although I do not know by how much (it is less than 10X). The GS116, like other Netgear products, is housed in a metal enclosure, has an external power supply, and is wall-mountable. Indicator LEDs clearly...
Strengths: Easy to install. Just plug it in.
Weakness: A bit pricey.
I bought this switch to replace a Netgear modem and 5-port switch after I decided to run Cat5e ethernet wire to each of my kids rooms so they would stay off my computer. I also wanted a switch that would allow future connections if needed. Installation is a breeze and this switch DOES give gigabit speeds between computers on my home network. Unfortunately, Verizon FIOS is not this fast... yet. I...
Strengths: Works great, has no fan, wall mountable
Weakness: To many extra $$ for the extra ports
I bought this switch for one specific reason, it is the only one I could find offering 16 Gigabit ports without annoying me with fan noise. Considering that 8 port Gigabit switches go for half the money or less it could be a little cheaper though.
Strengths: 16 Port, Gigabit Ethernet, Auto Sensing, Metal Casing, and Power supply is small, so it doesn't take up much room
Weakness: Cost per port is high, espically compared to the 8 port gigabit switch.
Netgear hit a homerun with this product. I bought the 8 port switch first, which works wonderful, and looked up to see if Netgear had a 16-Port and low and behold, they did. This product is as solid as there 8 port switch. Netgear could have lower the cost a little, it more then double the cost per port. Also, the metal casing is solid, like something you would see with rack mounted devices. The...
Strengths: Quiet operation; just plain works; lifetime warranty
Weakness: LED indicators need to be on front, versus next to cable plug-in; no rackmount kit
I was upgrading from two 8-port switches to a single 16-port. I was trying to reduce clutter and save some energy. Plus I'd get two extra ports, as one of the ports on each device is tied up connecting the two together. It worked like a champ first time! It does get hot, so keep this in mind by providing good ventilation. Netgear provides a lifetime warranty on this device, which is not...
Strengths: Easy install - great, fast. gigabit throughput - nice compact size.
Weakness: None...
What can I say but it's a great product at an excellent price. Netgear does a very nice job of designing and building easy to use, quality products at a fair price.
Strengths: * 16 10/100/1000 Ports at a reasonable price * Lifetime warranty * NetGear quality * Auto-uplink feature on all ports
Weakness: None
I installed this switch as a replacement for an older NetGear 16-port 10/100 auto-sensing switch, which has been in trouble-free service for about 4 years. This device is used on a small network of 8 computers, 3 network-based printers, and a server. The server NIC supports Gigabit Ethernet and by installing this switch, I was able to significantly increase its throughput. The switch installed...
Strengths: small, fast, quiet, inexpensive
Weakness: runs a little warm
I bought this switch because it was the least expensive 16-port gigabit switch that I could find. The fact that it was also the smallest, fastest (2 Gbps/port), quietest (no fan), and came from a major manufacturer was just gravy. Although I haven't really pushed the max throughput yet, I'm happy with it. I have mine sitting on a shelf in a rack, which works OK. It might be nice if Netgear...
The Netgear ProSafe GS116 is a 16-port Gigabit switch that provides full, dedicated 1000Mbps connections for quickly moving large files across a network. It utilizes auto-switching Ethernet technology to seamlessly integrate 10BASE-T Ethernet, 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet, and 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet devices without sacrificing performance. Plus each port supports the full duplex standard,...

Great
Strengths: Small and quite. Great item. Best swtich for office use.
Weakness: It gets a bit warm but that's to be expected since there isn't any fans.
I love this switch. Small, quite and very reliable. I haven't had any problems with it. It even supports jumbo frames. I have mine sitting on a shelf with two number 2 pencils under it for air flow. I haven't had a single probelm in the year that I've been using it.
