    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.

    Perfect, reliable unmanaged PoE switch

    ★★★★★ 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.

    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.

    One of the better hubs I have used.

    Recently installed eero from Frontier and found that it only one ethernet connection. This was not good for our setup so I purchased the hub so that I could have an additional wifi unit and hard connections to the new unit. I works as planned and I have no problems with it. I think it will work out well for us.
