This switch supposedly comes w/a Lifetime Limited (hardware) warranty. Has anyone ever has any issues and attempted to claim this warranty?

We use the Cisco SG300s in large numbers for IP based video distribution. It is an absolutely phenomenal switch - for the money you cannot beat it. The vast majority of the Cisco units will never need to take advantage of the warranty. I have seen some though that needed replacement for one reason or another. One customer's switch worked fine except the power over ethernet feature didn't work at all on any port. The switch was replaced with no questions. We've seen a handful of others have issues but in each case they have been replaced and the issues solved. I cannot recommend this switch enough. It is the best value out there for the money.

Mine stopped working too. Worked great for a while, but now it will not turn on even if fully charged. I think the switch is just low quality and breaks easily.

It sounds to me the switch is defective. I don't think you'd have any problems contacting the seller and having it replaced.

Didn't know there was a switch problem, but my recent purchase is not showing any issue.

I saw the same lifetime warranty in the instructions that came with mine. I'd definitely try contacting them to see what they say.

Yes, as long as you get the switch that is not a "maintain"I did not end up using the switch, I actually needed one that does maintained so i ordered it as well, and I still have the first switch I purchased. Not sure if possible to resell this one or not. lwinters@greenwayeng.com

There is only a one year warranty. I would call the company, but they will just troubleshoot by telling you to plug/unplug and try to reboot the system. Then they will probably say "Can't help you, talk to your installer [about how to buy a new one]". Ours has been dead for 4 months because we are unwilling to purchase another expensive, unreliable unit.

I bought mine in January 2013 and it worked with mostly no issues up until around February 2014, then it started dropping the Internet, the LAN, and the Wireless. I sent logs to their tech support and they suggested RMA. It has a two year warranty, so I got an OK to RMA it, but, there's no advanced replacement plan available, so it has to be mailed into them, then I have to wait to get a repair or replacement back, which to me, is not acceptable.

Hi. Sounds like a bad switch, or a bad connection to the switch. I would use your warranty to repair or replace the units.

The only issue I've had is recently (last month or so) switch #1 has become erratic and I'm not sure if it just needs cleaning or to be replaced. Other than that it has performed flawlessly for about 9 months.

I purchased one and had problem with on/off switch after a few uses it became detached, and due to poor warranty I simply trashed it and purchased a lower cost brand and it works just fine.

There is no warranty mentioned in manual nor on product box. There is also no manufacturer address or website listed. I would assume that the warranty is the 30 day Amazon return window. I have had mine for one year but only used it a half-dozen times to test Ethernet cables and it still works fine.

Chris-It was still under the 30 day Amazon warranty so I sent it back. I had it two weeks and really liked it. I don't know if the switch issue has been addressed by Nitecore-I hope so. I would like to purchase another one soon.

I bought one a week ago as a Christmas present for a 4-year-old and the switch broke today after only its second use (both by me, not the kid). So, as of 18th December 2013 the switch problem doesn't seem to have been fixed.

I never had that problem, it worked well for me. There might be a problem with the switch.
