Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Well built sturdy all metal casing. Easy to install.

All ports are in use, all working without a hitch. Works great. Well packaged. Replaced an older unmanaged switch.

Using a pretty simple rpi4b router (openwrt) with several vlans and another router working as a dumb access point. We have this on a 1st story unit where we have a camera and multiple desktops hooked up; where it leads to an existing netgear nighthawk... Read More

W capacity is more than enough to power some poe cams. It's better to get the poe+ model instead of regular poe because some higher end ptz cameras require the extra watts.

It's a perfect switch for home or small office especially if it needs to fit into a structured wiring cabinet. Power cord has a big block transformer, which is a drag, but is also a sign that it was properly designed.

Cons

Looks like it was designed by children--with crayons. Entirely undependable. Needless to it's being returned.

The switch is also a managed switch and it identified a fault on the wiring on one of my ap's.

Price

99 and given the 123w think its a great price to value.

Management- the fact that its actually manageable at this price.

The other thing that costs this a half star is the ridiculous external power supply.

Update: i liked the 5 port so much and was hoping it would come back on sale but saw the 8 port for $79.

Shipping

Got the netgear was able to setup and login quickly.

I received it on time, i am very satisfied with my purchase.

:) received it same day which made it much better for me.

Competitiveness

For those of you who much prefer putty to a web browser, that simply isn't an option.

Recently, i moved to an asus router from a netgear because it wsa easier to flash asus wrt-merlin onto the asus router (just mo... Read More

This does what it does for less money than similar products from the "big names" -- 802.
