NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged PoE Switch (GS305P v2) - with 4 x PoE+ @ 63W, Desktop or Wall Mount

Extremely reliable Ethernet switch in a metal case. It's been running now for several years with absolutely no problems. Plugged it in to power, plugged in the network cables and it's been running perfectly ever since.

This is a perfect network switch for cameras that require POE+. It powers multiple Axis PTZ cameras with ease. After running it for a few months, I've never experienced a failure or disruption in my network because of this switch. It does it's job perfectly! Plug n play!

Used to connect security cameras and and internet in a remote area of my house. So far no issues.

I had questions for Netgear customer support. Be prepared for the following: 1. Netgear offers support for 90 days AFTER you register the product. 2. To register the product you must go on to their website and create a user name and password. 3. Then enter the serial number of product. Ok, that's not unusual. 4. I opted for sending questions through their online system. They responded wanting a photo of the back of the product and a copy of the receipt. 5. I asked my question(s). I opened two cases: (a) One was about power imparted through the ethernet cable (PoE), if any, by routers and computers on a switch . Their literature makes such an issue of watts per port, I wanted to know. I am not a network engineer and perhaps answer should be obvious, but you know what they say about "assume." (b) I sent them a schematic of my proposed system showing three switches and asked for comments about it. 6. Then I received a message asking for my phone number. So I sent it back through their online support web page. Then I get a response stating they recommend not sharing personal info (WTF?). 7. I then get a voice mail on my phone at 7 AM. The person says, in broken English, calling about case number ****(a), please contact us. Never did the person identify that they were with Netgear, did not give their name, did not give me a phone number for returning their call. It sounded like a spam call. The only reason I realized it was Netgear was that I recognized the last four of case number. 8. Then for case b, they closed the case and asked me to call into an 877 phone number for support. 9. When I called in that number, the second or third tier of the automated system asks for the first two letters of your product serial number. It never comes up with the letters "GC" for a switch. In another portion of automated sysem, they say if it is a router or mesh, press 1, for a cable modem press 2, etc up to press 9. Never got to a switch. 10. Finally got backed out of that automated part and was able to enter my case number and was transferred to a human. The gentleman did not speak great English. I was patient and asked questions in several ways and got my question across. We talked about my case (b) and he said my schematic should work. Then we talked case (a) about power imparted and he said no load imparted from pc or router. I asked it the case would now be closed, and he said he would leave it open for a bit. I thanked him very much for his help. 10. The day after I spoke to rep, I got an email from Netgear re case (a) asking if they could close the case.

I'm running a Ubiquiti UDMP at home, but I'm not buying their switches. That's just crazy money for gigabit speeds. UBI needs to step up their game on switches. This is where Netgear shines! I love their little switches, especially these! POE+ with a 63 watt budget. I'm just running Ubiquiti POE cameras with these, and for a fitty, totally worth it! They've gone up about 40% though, in less than a year. My network backbone is a Netgear MS510TX. (Gone up 50% in the last year...) But it is perfect for my network. I've got 10g, 5g, 2.5g, and gigabit devices. Netgear makes some pretty bulletproof switches. Love my UBI gear, but L2 switching isn't brain surgery, and shouldn't cost like it. Netgear has always been to go to for cheap switching solutions. Want to host a LAN party? An 8 port switch will run you less than $30.

I needed a POE switch for an outdoor wifi extender. I have several Netgear switches that I have been very happy with. This one is no exception. Easy to get up and running and it runs great.

These are the best unmanaged PoE switches I've ever used, hands-down. And right now, this very second (03-13-23) they're ON SALE! I'm picking up an extra 4 of them to keep in the car with my spare supply of Aruba AP22's. Never know when a client is going to want better wireless, y'know? These? Plug it in, feed the uplink port, then give it things to power. Done.

I had to add this Switch because I added some hard wired devices to my home network, and the switch handles everything just fine, and indicates the throughput speed of the connected devices through the LED's :-)

This switch was purchased to be able to add an access point antenna on the other end of my large range bungalow home which required POE. We also use the switch for internet access for our pool automation. It is located in a garage so there is a possibility of spiders/bugs getting into the unit so I placed electrical tape over the unused openings. to prevent entry.

The switch feels very well built with its metal case. Haven't tested it for performance. Using it to power Ubiquity Unifi APs and two of them are running fine. Power adaptor is quite large though.

Netgear is typically my brand for switches. I have several unmanaged unpowered and POE switches, and all of them have always performed flawlessly. Highly recommended.

good product
