Just looking to see if anyone is using a netgear unmanaged switch and if there have been any connectivity issues with it.

Thanks

    BTW... the switch is in the shack with radios and computers connected. AG would be about 30ft away.

    Hi Greg, my Netgear GS 108 has been great for many years. I did need to put ferrites on all of the cabling (some of it is very long, going the length of my house, then down to the lower level) to keep RF out of it.

    Recently, it failed and I replaced it. Turned out that the switch is fine, it was the wall wart power supply that failed. Now I have a switch to take with me on camping trips without unplugging everything.

    I don't have an Antenna Genius (yet...) but my switch is right next to my KPA500 amp. Several of the Ethernet cables parallel feedlines for several feet, so it is a worst case kind of scenario.

    So from my experience, I would recommend Netgear switches.
