We have a GS108Ev3 and a Nighthawk X6 R8000.
GS108Ev3 has this famous 80-port 10Mbps issue, completely useless.
Today our X6 R8000 broke down. I factory reset it, then the 192.168.1.1 web page keeps redir to https://www.routerlogin.com/start.htm, which is 404. now it is a electricity wasting brick. hopeless crap.
I’ll fire any employee buys netgear again.
I’ve had dreadful experiences with NetGear over the years, and I won’t put any of their gear into production anymore, except possibly a dumb network switch.
TP-Link, TrendNet, Zyxel, Cisco, Unifi. . . all acceptable alternatives, IMO.
If you want a nice solid network switch, try the Zyxel GS1200-8.
They are really, really easy to configure, especially VLANs if you use them.
