NETGEAR's unmanaged JGS524 switch makes it affordable to take Gigabit to the desktop. This unmanaged 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet switch provides high-speed connectivity for small office networks at an economical price a savvy business owner can't ignore. All 24 switched 10/100/1000 ports deliver up to 2000Mbps throughput, up to 48Gbps of backplane bandwidth, and Auto Uplink technology to adjust for straight-through or crossover cables. This high-performance switch can combine 10, 100 and 1000Mbps devices within a network, and is conveniently compact for either the desktop or rack mounting. Ideal for work groups, departments or any small network looking for the ultra fast desktop connections.

DO NOT BUY

As a network engineer, I am very familiar with what must occur in a network and what is expected of a switch. What is not expected is a switch that does not even operate. Our business is 2 hours from Best Buy. Drove there, purchased the switch (incidentally, the 3rd netgear product out of 3 that has not worked when we got it back to our office), got it back to our office, installed it in our rack, and something is wrong with it internally. We could access our gateway, however it took 10 minutes to load up the gateways configuration page. Pulled the switch out of the equation just to make sure the problem was with the switch, and everything ran perfect.
I highly recommend people to avoid all NetGear products. 3 out of 3 is a bad reputation for products that don't work right out of the box. Incidently, I called NetGear just to give them a chance to correct things. NetGear said "The switch must be bad, you should take it back to Best Buy" - their resolution is to waste another 2 hour drive to return a product that I already spent a 2 hour drive to get. They didn't seem to care when I communicated this to them.
DO NOT BUY NETGEAR PRODUCTS. Send them a message that their customer service and cheaply made products are not acceptable by the consumers
