So exactly I do not know if the device is defective or there is something wrong with the functions. To summarize: even the Netgear support, which has switched via Netviewer with me, the problem with me could not solve. soon the problematic issues of my device: # NETGEAR gets unreliable IP from DHCP, which has annoying manual work result to access the switch # Web Access was also not possible after a short time # Windows program to netgear switches to manage, also has the switch no longer found (mind you he was on and all lights lit merry) Overall, the switch 1 has tag carries out his services, he has successively one port after another "link down" set. We You can imagine certainly, I've tried everything to reset versions and firmware Neuaufspielungen.
The positive: great packaging and a beautiful metal case.
What happens to me further: I believe that the device that I have a software problem has not. Therefore exchange is already mandated. Despite my dissatisfaction (1 star is still too much) I want to try again with NETGEAR, because I believe deeply in the heart, the company builds good switches. Once the new switch loves me, I will lift here on 5 stars because the packaging is really great!
