Quickly and easily expand your network to reach multiple Ethernet-enabled devices using the GS305PP 5-Port Gigabit PoE+-Compliant Unmanaged Switch from NETGEAR. This switch features five Gigabit Ethernet ports, four of which are PoE+-compliant with a total power budget of 83W, offering power to devices such as IP cameras, access points, and other components. Setup is simple, as the GS305PP features plug-and-play configuration, and with its durable metal housing, the switch can be installed virtually anywhere in your home or office.
Once installed, users benefit from a 10 Gb/s switching capacity, a 128KB memory buffer, 9216 byte jumbo frames, a 1.448 Mpps forwarding rate, and a 2K MAC address table size to ensure this switch operates smoothly, even under heavy use. In addition to enhanced performance, this NETGEAR switch is designed for efficiency, as it supports the 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet standard and short cable detection.

I have several Netgeer IP switches in use, at home and mobile. Much of the equipment I use for audio and video recording is connected through ethernet. I carry at least one Netgear switch fur use as a hub, for both wired and wireless communication. With this switch, it is not necessary to know whether a cable is direct or crossover, nor to manage speeds. In particular, once I set up a nice local network, I can use the same computer setting to talk to everything.

I looked and reviewed a lot of switches and decided on this one. Not much to say but that it works and does the job.

Family member needed additional network capacity to expand their AV setup in a bedroom combined with PoE capability to run a wireless access point. This switch gets the job done and I have not heard of any need to reset it or any trouble with it at all.

If you’re confused about the difference between this and the unmanaged regular GS308, note that the 108 has superior MYTBF by far because it uses profession convection cooling, and due to this cooling, can sustain GigE speeds without breaking a sweat. The 108 also has a larger buffer than the 308, though the difference is insignificant. The 108 is what all of you home net builders are looking for.
