It works fine except that it hangs occasionally (can be > reset by power-cycling). Most of these can be attributed to the crappy wall wart they call a power supply. If it's plugged into an UPS or replace it with your own DC power supply they generally hold up a lot better. I have a Netgear FS108 at home (8 port 10/100 switch) and I've found Netgear stuff to be as cheap as I would go and still be reasonably reliable.
