I've good experience with Netgear. A Netgear FS108 is doing it's job very well and also the support of Netgear convinced me. As I bought the Switch it had a 5 year warenty and a 3year warenty for the power suply. Some day my switch broke and I mailed a RMA-Request to the support (I had no warenty anymore). They told me they'll send me a package and 3 days later I got a brand new Switch. Btw: the packages was from the USA (SA) and I'm living in Europe (Germany). So it's the best support I ever noticed... (for "private" customers). Kind regards, Sebastian p.s. Forget about D-Link! I recomment to stay far far away of these crap. -- Don't buy anything from YeongYang. Their Computercases are expensiv, they WTX-powersuplies start burning and their support refuse any RMA even there's still some warenty.
