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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22293333 Sat, 25 Apr 2009 04:42:25 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22291456 ImpetusEra : I doubt there'd be any noticible difference. 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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22291456 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 17:46:14 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22272285 daveinpoway : 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? ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22272285 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 12:27:44 EDT
