NETGEAR 8 Port PoE Gigabit Ethernet Easy Smart Managed Essentials Switch (GS308EP) - with 8 x PoE+ @ 62W, Desktop or Wall Mount

I use with my ip cameras and access point. Hasn’t failed me yet and is easy to configure.

Works flawlessly. Super easy install with plug and play (and forget it) installation. Speeds are more than adequate for networked POE security cameras.

Worked great to power my Unifi wireless access point. Used it to not only connect that device, but also to connect my wired home network to my router. Have it connected inside my networking box in my utility room. Nothing to setup. Just plug in the devices. There are specific ports to use for powered devices, but the instructions state that. This is one device where you want to read the instructions in my opinion.

It works great right out of the box no noise great value for the money perfect size

This is an amazing little smart switch with good features. I would suggest this switch for beginners in networking trying to learn and also those more seasoned who needs a small switch with smart capabilities and POE

Works great no issue powering my cameras

I read many, many reviews here on Amazon and the web about sending power through RJ45 to BNC cameras ( I don't have IP cameras yet ), so I started with the NETGEAR 8 Port PoE Gigabit Ethernet Easy Smart Managed Essentials Switch (GS308EP) - with 8 x PoE+ @ 62W ( ASIN B08MBFLMDC ) since I only have 4 cameras and 1 camera is PTZ ( when I get IP cameras I am already set to manage the power, QoS, VLAN, etc with the switch ). I purchased 5 pairs Passive PoE Injector and PoE Splitter Kit with 5.5x2.1 mm DC Connector RJ45 Power Over Ethernet. I have a NETGEAR GS308 5 port switch which will provide communication to the GS308EP switch so I can access the admin page. With all that and reading the reviews, unfortunately I could not get it to work. No power being sent to the cameras and the question of WHY. I continued researching the WHY until I found from NETGEAR that in order for the GS308EP switch to communicate and be able to manage the power to the cameras the splitters had to be 802.3af/at compliant, if not the baluns WILL NOT work, and that I needed ACTIVE baluns, NOT passive like the first 5 pairs I purchased. I did find and watched a video "How to Install AHD CCTV Cameras using POE switch as Power Source" that helped me understand about the active baluns. I then purchased a 4-Pack Active PoE to 2.1mm DC - IEEE 802.3af/at compliant. I could not be more happier when I received the ACTIVE baluns and connected them cause everything was set, I was just waiting on the ACTIVE baluns. The ACTIVE baluns are the ones that worked for me with the setup mentioned above and I hope it helps other people out there that have basic knowledge, because there is no single page on the internet that provides you a solution, you have to dig and read many, many pages to do trial and error until it works. I love Netgear products and still have ( of course not connected ) a Netgear Internet Gateway Router with a built-in 4-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switch model RT314. Netgear is build with TRUST in mind. Thanks

Switch is awesome. It Manages itself. Good price too. It's very quiet, small
