16-port Gigabit desktop switch

The NETGEAR ProSafe LGS116 is a desktop unmanaged switch with sixteen auto-sensing Gigabit RJ45 ports. It targets small offices and home networks that need a simple, plug-and-play expansion for wired devices such as PCs, printers, and network storage.

Capacity and headroom

Sixteen ports provide ample room to connect multiple workstations and peripherals simultaneously. A 768 KB buffer and 9216-byte jumbo frame support help sustain throughput during large file transfers, while the 1000 megabytes-per-second forwarding rate handles typical Gigabit traffic without congestion.

Unmanaged operation decides fit

The switch requires no configuration and offers no management interface, making it unsuitable for networks that need VLANs, link aggregation, or remote monitoring. Buyers who require traffic segmentation or port-level control should consider a managed alternative.

Questions about this item

Will the 16 RJ45 ports auto-negotiate with my older 10/100 Mbps devices?

Yes, each of the 16 ports auto-senses and negotiates 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps so legacy gear connects without configuration.

Which LED pattern confirms the switch is passing Gigabit traffic correctly?

A steady green link/act LED on a port indicates a 1000 Mbps link; blinking shows data moving through that port.

Does the box include mounting brackets for wall installation?

The package contains the switch, power adapter and desktop rubber feet; wall-mount brackets are not included.
