NETGEAR 5-Port PoE Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Essentials Switch (GS305P) | With 1 x 1G and 4 x 1G PoE+ Ports @ 63W, Desktop or Wall Mount

Works exactly as it should. I must note that I don't have all the ports loaded so I'm only at partial POE power load but I have no reason to expect any issue if I loaded ports to max power rating I use multiple Netgear switches, both regular ethernet and POE. They have never let me down

Fast, SIMPLE to install, worked out of the box. Was up in 5 minutes

It was the first switch I ever needed, purchased, and set up. Out of the box, set up, and running my Mac and VOIP PoE phone in about 5 minutes. Worked automatically and flawlessly. 5/5 stars.

This product has worked well, and met my needs

Works exactly as advertised. I’m using this POE switch to run my home security cameras. So far it has been bulletproof.

Works great.

works well for application

I purchased this primarily to carry with me when performing IP camera installs. It is very convenient to plug in multiple cameras in an area to configure and aim them in stages. Once ready, the camera connections can be switched over to the main cable runs, saving a lot of back and forth, or the need for a helper. I like the added feature of isolating each switch port separately from the others, emulating separate vlans. Each port is still 'visible' to the uplink, but not the other ports. I have not experienced any issues with a lack of power for PoE devices. The largest power drain device I've tested so far is a WAP. I'll try to remember to test it with an outdoor Cradlepoint, since they pull a fair amount of power. I'll check the power requirements first, of course. Don't want to ruin any expensive gear. So far I've not experienced any speed issues, but the camera don't have large data throughput. The WAP I tested ran speed tests comparable with the dedicated PoE injector they included. If I have the opportunity, I'll try to run speed tests across local LAN devices to benchmark.

I love Netgear and already own multiple Netgear switches—this one fits right in. Setup was truly plug and play, and it’s been running flawlessly so far. It’s a great compact option if you need a few PoE ports without the complexity of a managed switch. That said, I’d love to see Netgear offer more competitive pricing like TP-Link does. Their quality is excellent, but affordability would make it even easier to recommend. Solid build, dependable performance, and ideal for small setups or travel kits.

Cheap for what it is. If you only need a couple ports with PoE this does well. Unmanaged, but that's expected for the price range.

Parfait pour mes besoins

Works flawlessly so far. Simple plug n play.

This is in my laptop bag that I take to site to help in setting up security cameras. If I need a small unmanaged switch around my house this one would be great for that.
