NETGEARGS108PP100EUS

Ports speed 100MB not 1GB. My old D-Link switch provide me WAN + LAN speeds 1GB

little bit slow...

I chose this switch because I needed a lot of PoE-enabled sockets and a compact size, without any fan noise. The switch looks and works great and I now realise why it's compact and fanless - it has a separate power supply which is MASSIVE! Apart from that it's a great buy as long as you can find somewhere to put the big black box.

I bought this to go with my brand-new Reolink RLC-511 IP camera, having been using another (non-POE) Netgear switch from some years without any problems. As with my previous switch, the GS305P is nicely built, with a steel chassis, all-front-facing ports (4 powered, 1 unpowered for linking to the router or, in my case, my other Netgear switch).Perhaps my only issue is that the included 48V power brick uses a massive and heavy IEC mains cable, and yet has what feels like a slightly flimsy 48V tethered cable terminated in the 6.5mm barrel plug that connects to the switch. I'd have preferred a lighter mains cable and slightly more durable looking 48V lead - but I guess, once it's installed and forgotten about, it will work fine.Based on tests today, this switch works great, fully supporting my new camera, and neither it nor the power supply got warm despite several hours of non-stop usage with the camera running flat out.

Small and will built. Quality metal construction that dissipates heat well. This product does not heat up much but I feel the metal case helps.I use mine to power CCTV cameras so the total power output is plenty. It's located in the loft so after running through summer heat in the UK it has held up well. I'll update this review if I have issues. But after 6 months, all had been well.

I bought this switch to provide a few extra Ethernet ports and the option to power some of my devices over a single Ethernet cable (mostly Pi's and a VoIP telephone hub). I did not require the additional benefits and features offered by a more expensive switch and you cannot really go wrong with Netgear. This is marketed as a business class switch which although unmanaged it still has some useful features such as PoE port priority, which means that if you hit the maximum power rating of the switch the devices on the high number ports get powered down before those on the low numbered ports. Using this switch has also improved the latency and jitter of connected devices compared to my ISP branded router which was a bonus (especially for VoIP). This unit comes with self adhesive rubber feet and rackmount ears depending on how you plan on using it and is smaller than you probably imagine - check out the measurements in one of the product description pictures. My only criticism is that the power cable from the PSU seems a little thin and I would have liked to have seen a better strain relief on it, but I am using it on a desktop rather than rackmounting it and a cable tie with a self adhesive base relieves my paranoia. As a side-note, this switch uses negotiated PoE+ so no harm will come of it if you plug a standard Ethernet enabled device into it. Half of the devices I currently have connected to mine (including the upstream router, printer and a smart TV) are non-PoE and are all working without issue. For the Pi's, I have a combination of official PoE+ hats and dongle type splitters (the DSLRKIT gigabit ones available on Amazon) and all work well with this switch.

After using this device for a while I find that it does not work consistently long-term. Every so often I will find that any device connected to it shows a valid network connection but is not able to communicate through it to other devices The rest of the network is OK, just no communications for anything connected via the Netgear switch.I have not been able to determine a consistent frequency or cause but it seems to happen after 1 or 2 weeks of continuous operation.However the fix is simple, just power-cycle the switch and all is well. It is just annoying to have to do that when all my other switches (I have 2 others) seem to work 24/7 without problems.
