Ethernet switch failure - recommendations for a replacement?
Posted by: Yetizone on 18 February 2017
My system is temporarily down this weekend due to the failure of my eleven month old Netgear Prosafe FS105 ethernet switch. I went to access the UnitiQute this morning and the app could not find the room. Disappointing given the age of the switch, but these things happen. Are these units generally reliable? I thought they were, so I'm assuming I've been unlucky and just got a duff unit.
Happy to stick with Netgear, although, if the experienced think they can bettered (perhaps the Cisco in HH's thread?), then any alternative recommendations welcome. I only really need the four ports as only the Qute and my work Mac are connected. Yes, I have used the search facility, but just wanted to confirm the best option as i'm not aware of the latests and greatest in computer networking kit!
Later on when I have little more time, I’m going to see how the ‘Qute reacts to Wi-Fi streaming. Should be an interesting experiment given there is something like a fifteen to twenty meter distance between Uniti and router - with a BT Wi-Fi range extender between them!
