NETGEAR10-Port Gigabit/10G Ethernet Plus Switch (GS110EMX) - Managed, with 8 x 1G, 2 x 10G/Multi-gig, Desktop, Wall or Rackmount, and Limited Lifetime Protection

My home network has a little more going on than most. Mostly standard wireless devices but also a NAS, Plex server (not the NAS, but accesses it), and a raspberry pi running some little project programs and hardware centered around home automation. The main connection I need to be 10 Gbe is between the computer and the NAS so even though this only has two 10Gbe ports that's fine. Everything else is fine with 1 Gbe. I'm sure I'll outgrow this eventually but for now it's filling the need perfectly for <$200. Can't complain.Setting up Link Aggregation between this and my old switch was painless. Don't use the mobile app though, just go straight to the ip address of the switch once connected and make sure to visit the second vertical tab on the left first to set up the Link Aggregation Group (LAG), then go to the first vertical tab to enable it.

I needed a heavy duty, very fast (200mbps+) switch in my garage to run high end video cameras, this does the job with enough PoE power to run them all. I also put a smaller version in my office to run scanners and printers. Netgear makes the best high end (affordable high end) switches. I'm fixin to purchase their point to point system so I can send internet to my shop 80' away. I trust netgear stuff; both my routers are netgear, and ALL my switches and extenders are also. Their tech support is wonderful.

My house is cat5 wired. I had an old router and it was not working at all. I pay for top of the line internet. A tech for my internet provider looked at my setup and ran some diagnostic. He said I needed to get a new one. So I did. It was super easy to install. Now I have no problem with my direct ethernet connection.

I recently incorporated the NETGEAR 10-Port Gigabit/10G Ethernet Plus Switch (GS110EMX) into my network setup, and it has been performing exceptionally well. The ability to push 10GB of data through it is impressive and has noticeably improved my network speed and efficiency.There are a couple of things to keep in mind. First, the switch does tend to get hot, so it's important to keep it in a well-ventilated area to ensure optimal performance. Second, it is a bit on the pricey side. However, considering the high-speed capabilities and reliable performance, I believe it's a worthwhile investment for those who need robust network solutions.Overall, I'm very satisfied with this switch. If you're looking to upgrade your network infrastructure with something powerful and dependable, this NETGEAR switch is a great choice!

I use this to have a 10 Gbps link across the house (to an un-managed GS110MX) and to do LAG (link aggregation/bonded link) to my NAS which only has 2 1-Gbps ports that can be bonded to 2 Gbps. It works great. No issues at all. Runs a little warm but not hot.The one area I am disappointed in is Netgear only supports http for the web user interface. They do not support https on the GS110EMX. Crazy. Seriously Netgear, why not support a secure connection for web based configuration? Everyone else does. This only affects configuration and does not affect operation which is excellent and is why I can live with it but it is the one area that could be improved on to make this a perfect product.

Below is my original review, scroll further down for an update:Pros: Works as advertised. Plus comes with a lifetime warranty.Cons: Gets very hot. This is the hottest switch I've ever owned. I have a 5 port 2.5Gbe Unmanaged switch which stays much cooler than this one. The side with the 10Gbe ports gets very hot. I actually have a small case fan pointed at the switch. It's under a desk so I was able to do that. I don't know if it's fine and all within normal operating spec.UPDATE:Turns out running hot does cause issues. One of the 10G ports started "freezing", the one I was using as an uplink so which did all the heavy lifting with the traffic. It would be seen but no data would be received by either end and when I unplugged the cable, the lights would stay on. Rebooting it would fix the problem only for a few hours. I looked through the recent reviews here and Googled it a bit and it seems this is becoming an increasingly common problem with this switch. It's being RMA-ed a lot by customers. Be aware of that when you make your decision.The bigger problem was Netgear customer service. I purchased a couple of these switches. One I kept for myself (and was the one I reviewed above, the original date of the review was 8/3/22). Before this I purchased a switch that should have been new and it was an obviously used switch with no power adapter. I returned that, then got another. It looked used but had everything, so I kept it (it was also purchased 'new').A few weeks later I purchased a used one, sold by Amazon.com LLC themselves, who Netgear say is an authorized reseller. That was on 8/18. That switch actually looked great, in pristine condition. That switch wound up at my work's network. I was reimbursed for it. I purchased used for them because they're just going to toss it and buy a new one if it ever fails (and if the switch looked bad, Amazon takes returns).So when I opened an RMA for my own switch, I attached the wrong invoice. The RMA was denied because they said it was purchased used. I said basically oops, my bad. Attached the correct invoice. Also pointed to this review (of my switch, as you can tell from my review, it was used by me in my home) which was posted 8/3 and the invoice I sent them said 8/18. Clearly, wrong invoice. Unless I time traveled.I also questioned why they are considering Amazon.com an "original purchaser" when in fact it is an authorized reseller. They have no way of knowing (outside of someone else registering the serial number) whether the used switch was purchased by someone else or why Amazon.com is labeling it used, it could have just looked used or been beat up and sold as used instead since they became wary of all the used items going out as new and being returned. The 'used' switch came out newer than the first actual 'new' switch I had bought and had to return because it was missing pieces. If it WAS used, then Amazon refurbished it, but sold it as used.Their response? Nothing. Just copy-pasted the warranty info to me a few times while ignoring everything I said and closed the case.Mind you, this isn't the first time they closed the case. The first time I opened a case for this switch, the person asked me to do some troubleshooting steps. I did. They closed that case without responding. So then I opened a new case which then led to the above.I've got a new switch with an allegedly lifetime warranty and Netgear basically is ignoring me. I've already bought a replacement (from QNAP, since I've had a few of their switches, they work great and don't run hot... it was the one with 2 10G uplinks and a few 2.5G ports and it costs less than this switch). I'm probably just going to sell this switch for parts on eBay.So yeah. To sum it up:#1: Faulty switch. The 10G ports just run too hot. The switch needed to have a fan. They compromised too much. Read all the recent reviews and Google it, the failure rate is too high for comfort.#2: Absolutely terrible customer service from Netgear. There's a reason they offer lifetime warranties on business products. If you're a business, they'll probably listen to you, and they know any time they screw you over here and there, you'll write off the losses and keep coming back. That's what that entire branding is for. But if you're a person buying a business labeled product, they can outright deny you the warranty on any pretext. Sometimes none! The agent closed the case for the first time for NO reason. No response. Just marked as resolved.If you wanna get on the phone with them and hound them, you can probably get them to cooperate. I'm fairly certain I could make an agent understand the situation in a voice conversation. And I assume they're not gonna be like their online counterparts and just hang up on me or anything. But they've left a bad taste in my mouth and I don't want another switch which will be a ticking time bomb. I've already replaced it with a different model from QNAP. And a refurb switch from an RMA with Netgear *should* carry no warranty (because you can't be the original purchaser of a refurbished model by definition, going by their language they repeatedly spammed me with, which makes no exceptions for refurbished items) and has to be sold as used on eBay as well, going by eBay's rules. Even if Netgear say their refurbished RMA items are under warranty, be aware the warranty itself does NOT say that. It clearly says:"All NETGEAR warranties (as opposed to statutory guarantees or non-excludable statutory warranties), including any implied warranties, are valid only for the period of time the NETGEAR product is owned by the “original purchaser” of the product. The “original purchaser,” for the purposes of this warranty, is the first purchaser of the product from NETGEAR or a NETGEAR authorized reseller. All NETGEAR limited warranties, including lifetime warranties, are not transferable."Let's put aside the fact that "first purchaser of the product from an authorized reseller" ALSO applies to anyone buying a unit marked as used/refurb from that reseller. Basically everytime the reseller sells an item, the purchaser becomes the first purchaser from that reseller (as long as there's no middlemen or inbetween steps between the purchaser and the reseller). The reseller taking possession of the item resets that. Maybe they should run these things by their lawyers before putting it up on their website. They defined original purchaser in terms of a first purchaser then bungled that definition up too.The bigger issue is that statement rules out refurbished products received by RMA (and they know what they're doing, there's a section saying they will use refurb products for RMAs, but makes no mention of any warranty on *those*).You know their service is bad if you've experienced service that was actually good. I tend to be brand loyal to companies with good customer service. I was under the impression Netgear was one. I was wrong. Now that I know this I just simply don't want to have anything to do with them or their products. I really hope none of the other Netgear stuff I currently own fails.

We were eating up our one gigabit connection with our old setup and needed to move to a 2 GB connection. This piece was integral to the whole operation and is absolutely amazing. The VLAN setup is simple for those using them and seems to be rock solid.
