What customers say
This essential OEM replacement fan guarantees a perfect fit and immediately restores critical network switch functionality, ensuring uptime. Users value the seamless compatibility of this genuine Netgear part. However, the overall value perception is significantly diminished by two recurring issues. The primary complaint centers on the high cost, which many feel is excessive for a simple cooling component. Furthermore, while effective, the fan's noise level is frequently reported as quite high, making it unsuitable for quiet office or home lab environments. Ultimately, the AFT402 is seen as a reliable but expensive necessity for maintenance.
