I think we buy at least 2 or 3 a week on average and currently have 60 or 70 out there. What Faisal said is pretty accurate. When you are a small company, your reputation is important to you and Chris is very proud of his switches, as he should be. It was a game changer for us and they are now the only switch we use in the field.
The only thing we have noticed recently is that when Ubiquiti upgraded to 6.0 and 8.0, their Discovery no longer shows the Netonix switches. Kind of petty in my opinion because nothing they make will survive in Arizona temperatures. I understand it, it’s just annoying in the field.

I'm very happy with the switches but I've only got a couple. I'm using DC input for what that's worth. The one or two guys on the forums are EXTREMELY helpful.

Each item they ship out, has gone thru some level of testing. There can be an issue with bad components, and yes Grounding is a major source of damage.

I don't blame them, because of what majority wants to get away with in trying to pull fast ones... FWIW, evaluating all the pros and con's.. their switches are a product that we feel comfortable in buying without thinking twice. We have had them in service, we have had two or three damaged due to lightning, (possible grounding issues), we have them repaired (approx half the cost of new). Overall I have no complaints... (Keep in mind when dealing with smaller companies, getting needed attention to detail also comes with having to put up with the personality of the person on the other side).

May be it’s due to increased amount but I see failing Netonix Switches in our Network. Dead Powersupply, 2 dead switches which they say it’s due to grounding (all other Equipment at the same sites never had this connected to the same cables). Now I have one suddenly rebooting with poe load above 25 Watt. It is not a cracy high failure rate but none of this switches was old and conditions are quite good. And a failing netonix is a dead site. I have lower failure rates with MT-Switches/Routers. Looking back at our cisco times I cant remember dead switches. They pointed me to a hack where soldering some cable will make them less sensitive to grounding problems. What is your experience?
