I know there are internet blogs about the GS108 (8 port version); however no one mentions the 16 port version.
This is a small business "prosafe" model.
It is very compact; but gets pretty hot with little circulation.
After 7 years; the switch would give intermittent connection problems only for some computers on the network (lack of switching)
also, internet and high bandwidth would crawl along at times. This happened pretty suddenly and was hard to diagnose which is why I wanted to add to the knowledge base.
After disassembly, clearly 1 cap is bulging. However, everything else looked fine.
Contacted netgear and told them the cap was bulging; got an immediate RMA.
There is lifetime warranty. In some ways; I should have just recapped myself to save another item going to the landfill.
HOWEVER, don't have the time these days and also, for a mission critical environment; I would never trust my soldering skills.
So, off to RMA exchange it goes....
