daveinpoway Premium join:2006-07-03 Poway, CA	GS116 Gigabit switch power requirements The GS116NA I bought last year is specified to use 12VDC, 1.5A. Recently, I bought a used GS116 that says it needs 5 VDC, 5A. When did Netgear change the power specifications? Are there any differences (performance, reliability, etc.) between the 2 versions other than the power requirements?

Even in the 12VDC model it may be that all the chips were rated 5VDC and there was a regulator to reduce the 12V to 5V. So it could be that it's just cheaper for them to now go with a 5VDC adapter and leave out the stepdown circuitry.

Re: GS116 Gigabit switch power requirements

After contacting Netgear Support, I still haven't been able to determine which model is older. I did get their price for the 5V adapter (the switch I bought was missing the power supply), but I want to rig up a 5V source and make sure that the switch works before buying a power supply for it. Out at the swapmeets, I constantly run into 5V AC adapters, but nothing in the 5A range.
