This PoE switch is amazing. I ran cat6 throughout my house and setup Deco X50 PoE mesh which are amazing and not worrying about a power cord made it so easy. I am using all 8 ports and they are awesome.

Need to expand the number of Ethernet devices or want to upgrade to Gbit Ethernet??? The NETGEAR - 8-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet PoE/PoE+ Unmanaged Switch is noe of the simplest, cost-effective, and reliable ways to do it! BTW, if you're thinking of getting a switch with fewer ports...DON'T! Plan ahead and buy "smart", I to embarrassed to admit to how many 4/5 port switches I have that I'm replacing!

This POE switch so far seems to be a great product and is currently being used to allow additional cameras to be connected to a security system I have.
This is also a great price that is being offered on this item.

★★★★★
Bought in mid-2025 for $129 (now usually ~$119).
What I needed it for Power four PoE devices in my garage office:
• Ubiquiti U6-LR access point (PoE+)
• Reolink 8MP PoE camera
• Another Reolink 5MP camera
• Spare port for future use
The reality Plugged it in, zero configuration, everything just worked.
• 83W total PoE budget is plenty (U6-LR pulls ~15W, cameras ~8W each). Ports 1-4 give full PoE+ (30W), ports 5-8 give 15W PoE – exactly as advertised.
• Fanless and completely silent – sits on my desk and I forget it’s there.
• Metal case feels solid, rack ears included (I wall-mounted it with screws).
• Green LEDs are bright but not obnoxious; there’s a tiny switch on the back to turn them off if you want.
Only “con” (not really a con) It’s unmanaged, so no VLANs or port stats in the app. That’s literally the point – I wanted plug-and-forget, and that’s what I got.
Bottom line: If you just need reliable Gigabit PoE without menus or drama, this is the gold standard in 2025. Been running 24/7 for six months, zero hiccups. Would buy again in a heartbeat.

This is a great POE switch. It was a good deal, I got it with a significant discount. It is as advertised, just plug the devices in and go. No configuration required.

You need Poe to power your devices, don't need any Layer-3 management, want something that is rock solid reliable? This is the item. Been an IT consultant and MSP for years, for a small unmanaged switch you really can't beat Netgear, well made, solid, reliable and reasonable price. In all my years I don't think I have ever had an unmanaged Netgear switch go bad for a client, maybe 1 powersupply went bad, but netgear warranted it and got it back up working.

Not all gigabit switches are created equal even if the specifications appear to match. I replaced an older switch with this product and it works must faster. Both had same high level throughput specs.

Very reliable device. Most of my equipment works on poe, so think makes life so much easier. I have one installed in my trailer and one in my kit for backup.
