Editorial Review
NETGEAR's FS116P Fast Ethernet Switch with 8 Port PoE provides your LAN with high-speed, 10/100 Mbps auto-sensing connectivity for as many as 16 users. Just plug in your Ethernet cables, connect a power cord, and you're ready to go there's no software to configure. Engineered without the need for internal fans, they operate silently. And each of these very compact switches is housed in a sturdy metal case for years of dependable use.

Customer Reviews
Proceed with caution 
2008-10-06
Fundamentally I like this switch (I own two of them), however I suggest you think twice before you commit to it. While it's great that they're small and fanless, BOTH of them developed several 'dead' POE ports. The ethernet function continued to work, but the POE function failed on several ports. Instead of 8 POE / 8 regular ports, I only had 6 POE and 10 regular ports.
YES, the manufacturer has a LIFETIME warranty, but they also have a $20 FEE for advance-replacements, plus you have to pay your own shipping. For me, that has translated into $60 on (2) warranty replacements for my 2 switches. What's the alternative to paying this fee? You can't just shut down your network for 3 weeks while you wait for the replacement! According to support there is no 'Second Generation' version that fixes the problem so I expect that the replacements will also fail.
Too bad.
Silent and functional

The high point of this switch is that it's PoE but silent. Ours is powering 6 toshiba IP telephone handsets. It did have one glitch in the first week where it needed to be power cycled (indicators on the switch indicated a fault for all ports.) but since then, it's been on for two months without a problem.
The low: PoE is only available on the first 8 ports. and there is no management of this switch: no QoS, no remote monitoring, &c. I've heard the specs don't provide for full PoE wattage to each of the 8 ports either, but it's fine for 8 of our IP handsets.
