Switch stops working and resets, sometimes several times in a row, then works for hours. Time to replace, or is there something else to try first?

That is very strange. I have several Netgear 8 Port switches working together. I never had that problem. I would return it. That should never happen.

Not sure if you can fix them - Never looked into it...I've been very unhappy with the lifespan of the small Netgear hubs/switches. I have had four - 3 of which I've had to throw out. I switched to another brand.

Is the power resetting or network connection?If network I would try a different Ethernet cord from your modem to router first. If it's power I would try a different plug first. At that point may be just as cheap to replace it all versus trying to find a new power cable to test.

That doesn't sound right. You may have gotten a bad unit but if you can swap out the power supply and see if that helps. I have two of these that have been running almost continuously 24/7 for 2 years with 0 problems. I am using the model GS608. Unless the unit is getting overly hot or the power feeding it is bad it shouldn't be doing what you describe. I am using them to condense several 10/1100 IP camera frame data into 1 GB line going to a router. So they are working pretty hard.

Maybe try the switch? Mine is wonky and lopsided. Looks like it is on one input when it is on the other? It's usb powered so make sure it's plugged in and lights up.

We used ours about a dozen times and then the On/Off switch spontaneously stopped working. I'm not holding my breath on them sending me a replacement as it has been just over 90 days since time of purchase.

I think the switch is the problem. This switch is really easy to change out you can do it in 10 minutes.

Try to press the area below the switch button...I tried it and it's working again.

I have experienced the same thing. The blue switch mentioned in Mgg1978 works in a similar function to a circuit breaker. Christopher Covington's post is spot on. I removed the door, check the switch, replaced the door & have not experienced this problem since.

We've had our Slim & Light for over a year and never experienced such a problem. Sounds like you might have a broken or defective switch; maybe contacting Haan would be best.

The company ignored my issues with this switch as well. It appears to be something they refuse to address. Thanks for your tips on fixing a flaw, MYSELF

Mine has lasted a couple of years, but usually by then, the switch itself stops working. It's not made to be very durable, unfortunately. :(

it could be anything, defective item, electrical problems, ect. I suggest you contact Amazon for an exchange. Mine is working perfectly till this day, we bought it about 5 months ago. I haven't ran into any problems..

Before going with a problem with the unit I would definitely check all wiring both at the switch and lights. If everything is good with the wiring it could be a faulty unit then.

I'd just back up in the "Menu Tree" and try again. If that didn't work I'd Power cycle the unit to reboot it and start over. Good luck.

Because it is a two stage switch I would contact the company for a new switch. If you do repair it as the others suggest you are breaking the case integrity and any mosture will creep in. Delphie

Ruth- My unit stopped working as well last year. My brother in law replaced the switch on the unit and it works great!

Not sure... i havent had much success with these switches, wiring them like one should doesnt always work... may be some of them are faulty internally

First thing I'd check receptacle for power.Plug in a tester or lamp. If that doesn't work try "reset" button,which should clear all,then input station times,clock etc.
