Netgear switches have proven to be invaluable in various scenarios where there is a need for additional network connections. They are especially popular in locations with limited wall connections, such as labs or rooms in small offices and homes. Users have reported that these switches are reliable and simple to use, making them suitable for smaller customers who do not require managed switches. Additionally, Netgear switches have demonstrated their durability in tough environments like warehouses and packing houses.

One of the key use cases of Netgear switches is the implementation of VLANs to efficiently route traffic to servers or the DMZ, allowing for efficient communication between devices. Netgear switches are also commonly used in SOHO environments, where users are looking for a cost-effective solution without compromising functionality. They are easy to set up and rarely require power cycling, providing consistent uptime.

Netgear switches are useful for linking small workstations and printers when there are limited network drops available. They can also be deployed in legacy data centers to enable remote access to HP ilo ports at a low cost. By deploying Netgear Rackmount switches to server racks, infrastructure engineers were able to provide remote access services to their infrastructure.

Overall, users have found Netgear switches to be dependable and efficient tools for expanding network connectivity and improving communication between devices. Whether it's in a lab, office, warehouse, or data center, these switches offer cost-effective solutions without compromising functionality.

Netgear switches are used where reliable and simple non-managed switches are needed at a customer's site, usually, these are smaller customers without the need for managed switches as we will go with something that can be cloud managed in those situations. We do find them to be reliable in tougher conditions such as warehouses and packing houses.
  • Reliable in nonoptimal environments such as those that are not climate controlled.
  • Easy to set up and use.
  • Solid mounting options.
  • Lack of Cloud management options.
We use them in warehouses and outside environments where a highly reliable solution is needed, but temperatures can not be controlled, and humidity is higher than wanted. Here is the Florida warehouse, and externally installed switches only are installed in sealed plastic boxes with little airflow and direct sunlight. This is tough for any switch, but we have found the non-managed Netgear switches seem to be more reliable, requiring fewer reboots and lasting longer.
  • Reliability
  • Simplicity
  • Cost
  • Increased ROI due to longevity.
  • Increased cost savings due to less down time.
  • Quicker to replace due to simplicity.
While the Ubiquiti are much easier to manage remotely through their cloud controllers, the Netgear is much more reliable in harsh environments than the other simple switches we use, as they seem less susceptive to high temperatures and humidity. (TP-Link and Zycel are the other major brands we use for simple switches.)
