I'm looking to buy a 16 port Netgear Gigabit switch. The two models I've picked out are the JGS516 and the GS516T. The GS516T costs about $70 more, but I can't figure out what the differences in specs are. Does anyone have experience with either of these?

Re: Need advice on a couple Netgear switches
Warranty, packet latency, power consumption, 2000 Mbps full duplex, are the differences I see right off the bat.
I'd spend the extra money get the faster one with longer warranty. -
Re: Need advice on a couple Netgear switches
I have Zyxel GS-1008 and its great with intel 1000mt cards. Maybe GS-1016 is good also. Works with fan disconnected.
both Zyxel and Netgear have crapcaps

Re: Need advice on a couple Netgear switches
One thing I didn't think about- My Router/DHCP server/Firewall/VPN system has a 10/100 nic in it. If I upgrade to Gigabit on just my media server and desktop systems, will I have problems because the DHCP server is on 10/100? There is no need for me to put a GB card on the DHCP system because the cable modem is only 10/100 anyway.
But I figure that once the DHCP server gives each system an IP address, all other traffic is just between the other machines and will not be bottlenecked, correct?
I really need to learn more about networking... I don't even know what Layer 2, Layer 3, VLAN, and a bunch of other stuff means. I only know how to make cables and set up most basic servers and such. Some of the crazy stuff they have in big enterprise networks would make my head explode

Re: Need advice on a couple Netgear switches
You can put a faster switch on the LAN and it will support slower devices just fine, unless it is a Pizzashit or other such cheap make.
I have a Netgear 1gb 16-port switch on my LAN, and none of the workstations have anything faster than 100mb. No worries. I bought the Netgear instead of Linksys, because it doesn't have cheap little fans inside.
I suppose it has cheap little caps instead.
I suppose recapping the switch will be in order soon enough.Comment

Re: Need advice on a couple Netgear switches
Yep, I bought the Netgear GS516T. You can see inside it on my other thread, I took it apart to look at it before I even plugged it in
I notice a performance increase even at 100MB speed. Only my NAS has gigabit right now, my main system will be upgraded tomorrow, as will my HTPC.Comment

What other gear are you getting? I am thinking about upgrading my LAN, but the Netgear 1GB NIC is getting bad reviews.Comment

Re: Need advice on a couple Netgear switches
My new Gigabyte Socket AM2 motherboard has onboard gigabit LAN, and my other systems will be getting Intel Pro/1000 GT cards.
I only bought two of the cards to start, one for my NAS and one for my HTPC. So far so good on the NAS, and I hope to install the card in the HTPC yet tonight so I can see just how fast it will be.Comment

Hi all. I need to replace an SMD fuse on my camcorder and this is the first time I have had to do any SMD soldering so your advice would be appreciated. Below is a picture of the board that I am working on and I have highlighted the fuse that needs to be replaced. I managed to zoom in to take this picture but the fuse is really tiny and is sandwiched between other components so this is going to be a new milestone for me. I appreciate that I am going to have to buy a new soldering iron if you could advice on what I need please. I was thinking about putting a big soldering iron across the whole... -
Hello everyone,
I am looking for a schematic of the netgear WN2500RP repeater.
best regards -
This is a fancy milk frother, apparently almost identical to the Dualit DMF2, but sold at a big mark up as bring particularly suitable for making frothy hot chocolat. It's basically a small jug with a kettle type resistive element in the base, and in the centre of that a small motor holding a magnet which locks on to a magnet in the base of a stirrer inside the jug which spins and froths up whatever liquid is inside.
I've got one and it's not working. I've checked all the obvious things. The heater coil has continuity, as do the two thermal fuses and the motor windings. The temperature... -
Hi Badcaps,
I'm having the same Notebook and problem as in this topic:
I'm assuming that flashing the provided bios in this topic would solve my problem.HTML Code:https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubleshooting-hardware-devices-and-electronics-theory/troubleshooting-laptops-tablets-and-mobile-devices/bios-requests-only/3601016-need-bios-for-clevo-pd50pnp
The only thing i can boot to is EFI shell
How do i flash the bios image in the EFI shell ? / Can i use any flash.nsh or is the executable interconnected to the bios image? ( i cannot find any bios related files in the internet... -
I’m looking for advice on board-level troubleshooting and potential component-level repairs for a Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen2 Intel (i7-1185G7) showing multi-domain instability. Hoping someone familiar with this platform (or the related X1 Carbon Gen9/Gen10, X13 Gen2, X1 Nano Gen1/2) can point me toward the right section of the board to inspect, and whether any of the known fixes apply. Symptoms:
1. Trackpad (CS21 module) intermittently freezes during active use- Not tied to lid open/close
- External USB mouse continues working
- Sometimes recovers with sleep/wake
- Looks like
