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.

Save money and a future headache.
I've used these both for personal use and at work. For personal use, they just work, and I rarely ever have to power-cycle I've had up time for several years with no issues. At work, they link small workstations and printers when we don't have the appropriate number of drops, in the location. Often temporary, but often temporary turns into longer due to organizations' needs.

Reliable switches for harsh environments.
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.

Netgear Good value for connections.

We use them in locations where we need more connections than we have available from the built-in connectors. Like in a lab full of devices that only has one or two wall connections to the network. They are great for allowing more connections in an area or room that needs those direct connections.

Honest small business review
We currently make use of two NETGEAR switches for our internal servers. The switches are connected to our proxy server. Through the use of VLANs, we can route traffic through the switches to our services on the servers or to the DMZ. We also have a switch that is on a separate VLAN that allows us to connect the machines in the office physically to our network. Giving us a larger number or hardwired connected devices to our network.

NETGEAR Business Class Switch Review
Currently we have a legacy datacenter deployed. We needed a low cost solution to have the ability to access HP ilo ports remotely. We simply bought the NETGEAR Rackmount switches deployed them to each of our server racks and was able to provide a remote access service to our infrastructure engineers.

Netgear SOHO Switch Review
I have used Netgear switches in a smaller environment. The majority of anyone I support that utilize Netgear switches are users in a SOHO environment who are looking to get the job done without breaking the bank.
