We have used Netgear around our network in places. Mostly positive
results. What other vendor would you suggest that isn't cutting corners
like this?

Looking at these more...
FPE H20202DL-R
Is a dual 10/100 magnetics... So 4 pairs. This would work for a
single gigabit port
FPE H40520MN
Is a quad 10/100 magnetics, so 8 pairs - this would work for two
gigabit ports
I've also looked at the specs for these... seem like they're close
enough to gigabit to work.
So as much as I would like to complain about cutting corners, this is
one of those cases where I don't see any obvious problems with this.

I've found that in the effort to make gigabit things cheap, one of
the main ways people cut corners are to use the worlds cheapest
magnetics which mostly work. This is amazingly prevalent in the
PoE market, as I've found that it's pretty common for the cheap
vendors to use a chinese knockoff of an already questionable set
of magnetics. Usually *not* rated for PoE, but works in many
circumstances. I really wish I wasn't a vendor because I'd do a
set of videos about some of my competition and the horrible sins
they've committed in this regards.
In this case it looks like they might taken a 'dual 10/100'
magnetics and used them for gigabit which assuming all the specs
are fine might actually work since 'dual' really means '4 pair'.
Is there one set of these for each port?

Took apart a brand new netgear GS205v2 router. It says 5 port
gig router.
Interesting that the ethernet magnetics inside will only do
100 mbps...
