QuestionCan anyone confirm they've been able to use this switch with a Netgear Powerline device? E.g. a Powerline 1200 or Powerline 2000. I'm looking at setting up a multimedia cabinet (with multiple devices) on the other side of the house as my wireless router

Questionif I plug this Switch into my Netgear modem that has only one Ethernet port, can I then plug my Orbi wifi (3 total) and my Arlo camera base unit into this switch and have everything all work okay??
Asked 8 years ago by Leboc.
- Answer Yes, that should work just fine. You'll know it's working by looking at the activity LED's next to the switch ports. They should start flickering showing network traffic.

QuestionWhat's the difference in this one and this one? NETGEAR - ProSAFE 5-Port Fast Ethernet Switch - Gray that ProSafe one doesn't say gigabit is that faster or a better speed?
Asked 8 years ago by Rose4uKY.
- Answer I am not sure but I would only purchase one that states it is gigabit. I do not have gig speed connection but am getting in the 300 bps range on a wireless connection.

QuestionDoes this switch carry the PoE (Power over Ethernet) functionality? If so, what type of cable must be used for POE (Not looking for "Cat6 or Cat5e" answers, I'm talking twisted-pair or something like 568-A or related)?

QuestionWill this enable connecting multiple VOIP phones?
Asked 11 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I use mine for Ooma, and multiple other connected devices (laptop, and other network connections). The switch doesn't care what you're connecting to it so as long as it works via an Ethernet or GigaBit Ethernet cable for connectivity it'll be fine.

QuestionI have POE coming out of my Cat5. Can i plug POE into this without short circuit? If so, will I still need to use the switch's power cord or will the POE suffice for power? Will the output then just be regular internet (no power) from the other ports?
Asked 5 years ago by JC4.
- Answer This device does not support PoE neither to power the device nor power any PoE enabled devices connected to the switch.

QuestionCan I hook this device up directly to the ethernet port in my wall and then connect another ethernet cable from this device to my laptop in order to access the internet?
Asked 5 years ago by DJ10.
- Answer You need a Modem first connected to your Internet Cable from the wall, then you may connect the Switch with an Ethernet Cable to the Modem, the Switch is only to allow you and connect multiple devices through the multiple Ethernet ports on the Switch. Consider it an Ethernet splitter, hope that helps!
