NETGEAR 5-Port PoE Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Essentials Switch (GS305P) - with 4 x PoE+ @ 63W, Desktop or Wall Mount

Setting up this switch was incredibly easy – plug and play, just as advertised. It's been reliably powering my PoE devices without any hiccups. The gigabit speeds are a noticeable improvement. A straightforward and effective way to add PoE capabilities to my network.

It does the trick!

2 years later still going strong. I have another one I’ve been using for 10 years.

Excellent

Never had one fail and they just keep going. Great little switches when you need only a few ports of POE/POE+ at the end of an Ethernet line to drive Cameras/Access Points, etc.

We have purchased a few of these for use in rooms where multiple items needed to be connected to the LAN. We recently finished building a new house and had it hardwired for Ethernet and coaxial. We are using Starlink as our Internet service provider. The Starlink is wired into the LAN, which allows us to plug in TVs, computers, etc to get the hardwired speeds.In the family room we have a smart TV, a computer, and a smart DVD player. In order to have them all wired into the LAN we had to put one of these boxes in the family room. It has worked flawlessly and was a very simple plug and play.This PoE switch is exactly what was needed and was very simple for an old guy who doesn't know much about LAN's, routers, switches, etc. We also put one in my den and in my wife's room. All have worked perfectly.Highly recommend if you have more than one item you need to connect to your LAN.

Replaced older 100 mps unit. great for security cameras

I purchased this primarily to carry with me when performing IP camera installs. It is very convenient to plug in multiple cameras in an area to configure and aim them in stages. Once ready, the camera connections can be switched over to the main cable runs, saving a lot of back and forth, or the need for a helper.I like the added feature of isolating each switch port separately from the others, emulating separate vlans. Each port is still 'visible' to the uplink, but not the other ports.I have not experienced any issues with a lack of power for PoE devices. The largest power drain device I've tested so far is a WAP. I'll try to remember to test it with an outdoor Cradlepoint, since they pull a fair amount of power. I'll check the power requirements first, of course. Don't want to ruin any expensive gear.So far I've not experienced any speed issues, but the camera don't have large data throughput. The WAP I tested ran speed tests comparable with the dedicated PoE injector they included. If I have the opportunity, I'll try to run speed tests across local LAN devices to benchmark.
