Today's businesses demand and rely more on their network to carry out mission-critical business activities. NETGEAR® Smart Managed Plus Switches meet this growing need by providing fundamental network features such as VLANs, QoS, and IGMP Snooping that will help optimize the performance of business networks. Smart Managed Plus Switches are the perfect upgrade from the plug-and-play unmanaged switch, delivering essential networking features at a very affordable price.

Q: Can this power 4 Ring POE cameras and connect them to the network?
A: It works flawlessly with my Reolink cameras and DVR. 4 cameras off the POE ports and another port goes to my DVR across the house.
A: No. You need a Router that supports Dual Internet connections (Dual WAN) to do this, like the Linksys LRT224. Each internet connection connects directly to your router. Then your router connects to a switch or via WiFIto drive your home network.
Q: Can I use the PoE ports for non-PoE devices?
A: Absolutely! You will have no problems using non PoE devices if they are plugged into PoE ports. Jarreft
Q: Does this switch have a built in DHCP server?
A: No it does not, it can either have a static IP for access or get an IP via DHCP. But it does not have a built in dhcp server.
Q: Can I do packet capture between 2 ports using the monitor port of this switch ?
A: YES. Any smart switch allows port monitoring: all packets for one port copied to another.
A: undefined
A: Hi DillyMcphilly, This is just like a dumb switch with a little bit of L2 features(Smart Plus Switch). Most of our Managed switches are L2+/L3 switches with routing and DHCP functionalities. If you have any questions, you can also check out our NETGEAR community. Best regards, NETGEAR Amazon
A: Hi Oldskool, This is just a switch which is an additional port for a router. It does not support DHCP and Firewall services. You may need to look for a router like the NETGEAR BR200. If you have any questions, you can also check out our NETGEAR community. Best regards, NETGEAR Amazon
