Rock solid and reliable, 24x7Not sure why Netgear uses different mounting hole spacing on their PoE hub vs regular GS-108.

It's an expensive poe switch. I use it to run my reolink cameras and haven't had any issues for months.

Works perfectly as soon as it’s connected. Allows me to power my Pi cluster over PoE without issue. Worth the money and the design allows for it to be in use with GreekPi 2u rack with m.2 mount!

Love it. Has some nice features and does everything I want for a very reasonable price. I use for a few POE cameras and one server and I haven't had a single issue.One feature I wanted was link aggregation which I have up and running between this switch and my homelab server. I do have this working but be aware that it does not support full/true 802.3ad link aggregation so results may vary (I was able to add redundancy and maybe 25% more throughput using balance-rr).

got the netgear was able to setup and login quickly. configuration was kinda Buggy. registered the Netgear. down loaded the discovery tool the configuration tool and the latest firmware. logged in to the Switch updated firmwar. and the switch rebooted. once rebooted it found evwerything and all the config settings worked. update to firmware 1.0.14 or higher. but it was straight forwards and super easy to setup. i have 2 other POE Security Cameras on order. and did not want to setup single POE adapters for each camera. as i dont have enough outlets for that. this worked fine. :) Received it same day which made it much better for me.

I have bought a few of these for use on our campus and I can say that they are basically a steal for what you get. Not they don't have their issues. Here are my pros and cons:Pros-Price- Bar none this is the cheapest managed PoE switch I have been able to find. At $7.50 a port its basically unbeatable. Most commercial switches I have had quoted come out to about $30 a port. Yes greater functionality at that price, but not worth it if you don't need them.Power- It actually has a decent power budget. 62W over 8 ports which averages out to about 7.75W per port. This is plenty to run low power applications such as security cameras. You can still run things such as wireless access points, but don't expect to fully populate the switch with them. (Edit) If you are in need of a greater power supply per port, the GS316EPP has an astounding budget of 231Watts which works out to about 16W per port. Should be enough to power just about anything but the most power hungry PoE devices.Management- The fact that its actually manageable at this price. The features available are not spectacular by any means, but you probably are not buying this if you need in depth QOS settings. You can fully manage both the power and VLANs on it which is more than sufficient for basic networking. It does have a free management software that you can use, thought it does have some serious limitations.GUI- The web GUI is pretty straight forward with the home screen providing most of the basic device settings at a glance. Switching tab aside, settings are clear and concise. They also have helpful descriptions for those less familiar with networking terminology.Bandwidth- All 8 ports are gigabit capable and the switch does allow port aggregation allowing for a greater outbound bandwidth from the switch if you have a few high volume devices plugged into it.Cons:Management- As previously stated, this certainly isn't a state-of-the-art device. QOS settings are limited to bandwidth controls and only the most basic of Multicast settings are available. The free "central" management software also has a major limitation. It only works if the switches are in the same network as the computer/server hosting the management software. If your computer is in 192.168 and your switch is in 172.16, it will never find it. This isn't an issue if you are operating a flat network or have a management VLAN.GUI- Overall the GUI is great, but the VLAN management is very annoying to work with. For starters, the VLAN modes are not particularly well described, so figuring out which one does what you need is a matter of trial and error. The Advanced VLAN Management is particularly painful to work with, though it does offer the greatest flexibility in settings. This is primarily due to the interdependence of the PVID table and the VLAN port assignments. To change the PVID setting on a port, you must have the VLAN you are changing it to assigned. Or if you want to remove an assigned VLAN, but its the PVID, you must first remove change the PVID before you can remove it. These are on completely separate pages requiring navigation between the two when tweaking the settings. If you are going to be changing these frequently, be prepared to spend a lot of extra time doing so. Though less irritating, having to click edit on each individual VLAN to manage its assignment to ports is unnecessary and could have easily been on the main VLAN management page.CLI- Or lack thereof. For those of you who much prefer Putty to a web browser, that simply isn't an option.TLDR: Best bang for buck for a managed PoE switch that you can find. Great if you need something just above plug-n-play. Just expect a configurable feature set comparable to the price.

I have used other PoE+ injectors with Netgear Access points and they did not supply the power for full performance. This unit easily supplies the full power for all my three Netgear AP's. The switch is also a managed switch and it identified a fault on the wiring on one of my AP's. Very happy with its performance.

I bought this switch to setup VLAN that is part of my home network upgrading. For the VLAN function, it works well. But for POE, I have not yet tested as UniFi AP out of stock.BTW, I does not like the new interface for WebGUI. It has less option. I still prefer the old Web GUI.
