Founded in 1996, it has been recognized as one of the 50 fastest-growing high-tech companies in the United States for eight consecutive years, and has a very complete product line in terms of network connection, expansion and storage. The NETGEAR switch has a unique ultra-narrow edge design for strong connectivity that will never be interrupted or slowed down by any auto-negotiation issues, with the downside that the chassis will overheat if all the interfaces are used at the same time. Most models of NETGEAR switches support intelligent network management, with high connection speeds and higher stability than similar products, but some models also have the problem of being slightly louder. Netgear switches have also been recommended and recognized by PCMag, Wonderful Engineering, Protechlists, comparaboo and other evaluation agencies, and the overall strength ranks among the top in the industry.
