Query: BAH!

Well, it's a great unit but after 2 years of use the capacitors in it blew out and now it's a doorstop. I guess the question is how long should a gigabit switch last? Far as I'm concerned, with the rate of technological advances in the world, something like this ought to last until it's 'old school'. So I'm an unhappy camper. Overall I've always bought Netgear products when there was a choice because I've felt they were well built units. I've got several 'old school' routers/hubs/switches from Netgear that are still working so perhaps this is just a cheap-arsed unit...dunno. I'm off to find a non-Netgear unit to replace the GS108. sigh.
