Good price for this. I just got a pair of them directly from netgear for $139/ea. Nice to see multigig managed switches becoming reasonable.

Are netgear's managed switches still as bad as they used to be?

Netgear has always been low end junk but for home use it does not matter.

Does this support LACP and SNMP monitoring?

It does support LACP. I don't see any SNMP options in the UI.

Ordering directly from Netgear directly can be cheaper by using 10% codes like SAVE10 or SUMMER. Those people with an AMEX card might also find an offer (I think it's $15 off $150, so wouldn't help here unless buying multiple items).

No, there's much lower end product around. Netgear is upper-middle grade. It's not Cisco, Ubiquiti, or Aruba, but its above TP-Link, D-Link, Trendnet and the vast ocean of Chinese junk.
