Was defective out of the box and I don't have a receipt so they will not honor the warranty.

This switch made my network life miserable for a long time with intermittent problems that were not cured by power cycling, changing all cables, changing computers, etc. I didn't realize this switch was my problem for a long time, and now I'm looking for a replacement. It sure won't be another one of these.

i have two of the gs108 switch, one is the version 1 (larger) and one version 2 (shown in the pic), the version 1 has been working for 3 years now and had no problem at all. the version 2 one just quit yestereday.

the symptom was all of the LEDs blinks at the same time (on - off - on), and the computer shows the network cable was unplugged. did a little bit search and it seems this is a quite common problem for this switch, it was caused by two capacitors (6.3v 1000uF), following others steps i replaced them with two 10v 1000uF, and now everything is workig again!

so if you have similar problem, check the capacitors, unless you can wait for netgear send you a replacement. the two capacitors cost about $4, i'd say cheapter than the shipping cost.

Mine lasted 28 months, then bricked with the "green lights of death." Save your money and buy a different switch.
