NETGEAR 8-Port Ultra60 PoE Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switch (MS108EUP) - Managed, with 4 x PoE++ and 4 x PoE+ @ 230W, Desktop or Wall Mount, and Limited Lifetime Protection

Gets warm when under full load but nice piece of gear.

I haven't actually installed the switch yet, and will update this if it falls short on performance expectations. I wanted to be sure it was shared that the power supply is almost as large as the switch; absolutely huge. This is understandable in hindsight as it can deliver a ton of power via PoE, but will be an installation challenge for me due cramped space.

Arrived undamaged and as described

Works great for my home network. I just need a switch that can configure vlan and support 2.5gbe this works perfectly. Plus, it has POE and POE+. There are not many cheap options on the market but I got it with heavy discount from Amazon Warehouse. Really nice

I would give it 5 stars but why Netgear designed it with no vents and / or fan kind of worries me. I found out the hard way to never stack this on another piece of equipment since my internet connection kept going down. I found out in case that happened, I would just log into the switch and select reboot and the connection came back up. I have since then repositioned the switch and so far, so good. I like the fact that it is 1)2.5Gbe 2) POE and 3) managed. So it can do VLANS. Since I'm new to VLANS, I watched a few videos before receiving the switch. After a few tries, I finally got it the way I want. So to those that are just starting out and expanding from an all in one firewall / router / wifi box, get something like this. Setting up vlans... the basics so remember this... T = tagged (or just say trunk); imagine a tree trunk and all of your vlans are running through the trunk from the firewall / router to this switch. Then the vlans branch out. Ports to a computer can be thought as leaves. Okay, enough with the tree analogy. Also, a port that runs to another managed switch can be tagged as well. A "regular" switch will be untagged. U= untagged (or let's just say access port). And you can set a port / ports to a certain vlan or vlans. The connection from your firewall / router to this switch must be set to Tagged. Your computers will be untagged. An access point like a Unifi will be set to tagged if you have vlan traffic. E= exclude - excludes ports from the vlans. Lots of vlan videos on youtube so go watch them if you're getting your feet wet. :)
