Does anyone use a NetGear JGS 524 switch?

My trusty NetGear GS 108 8 port gigabit switch seems to be failing more and more often. To diagnose why SmartSDR suddenly shuts down, I plugged my computer directly into my Flex 6400. It has been several hours, and no problems.

I will be away from my shack for a couple of days, so I will let it run. When I get home, if SmartSDR is still running, I will declare the problem to be with the GS 108.

I see that NetGear has a 10/100/1000 Mbit 24 port switch (JGS 524) for a reasonable price and was thinking of replacing the GS108 with it.

Does anyone have experience with this switch or know why it would be a good or bad choice?

    Hi Len

    I just replaced an 8 port unmanaged switch in my radio equipment cabinet with this Netgear 24 port managed switch.
    GS724T400NAS

    So far everything is working well with it. I switched to provide a mirror port for running WireShark and capture traffic between devices.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
