I've been pretty happy with my Zyxel products so far.
My original ZyWall 35 developed an issue after many years but continued working, and has proven useful as an emergency backup router twice now... my replacement USG200 may not have the throughput for gigabit internet, but has been rock solid reliable (NEVER needs rebooting) and very configurable... I got the WAC6503D-S for AC WiFi last fall and have had zero issues with it... and I picked up a cheap GS1100-8HP 8-port switch a couple years back to add 4 PoE devices, and no problems there either.
I now need a simple "smart" managed switch, but ONLY so I can do link aggregation for my file servers. Looking for minimum 24 port and fanless, and the GS1920-24 has popped up as a possibility. I know there's a lot of other options, but I've been using a D-Link DGS-1024D unmanaged until now with no problems, so I'm guessing I really don't need anything sophisticated.
I do like that the GS1920-24 is actually 28 port, as my current 24-port switch only has 7 ports free, which will be reduced to 3 after I add aggregation (and that's with 5 satellite switches in other rooms... man, my network has grown rather big!)
