Super easy setup. Plenty of POE ports.

I really like this switch. It has all the great management features you would want, the GUI makes sense, VLANs work as expected, it has POE, and it's got a great slim form factor for wall mounting and getting it out of the way. Comes with the screws necessary to wall mount as well.

When you first read a product overview you have a tendency to look over it quickly and move on to the product’s specifications. Exactly what I did this time and them I installed this Smart Switch in place of my older TP-Link Router. I was surprised by the speed and efficiency at which this switch works. I was also surprised that you could actually monitor the switch at work. When I receive a product to write a review on I try to be thorough and write down in plain terms my experience with the item. First there are cheaper switches on the market. Second you have to decide if you want to have a wired portion of your network. Third is it worth your time to run cables and wire your house to achieve a wired network. Fourth do you need a secured wired network or network that has wired section? While there are cheaper routers and you may feel that the time used to run cables can be used to do something better, I would say that it is a great idea to have a section of your network that is capable of communicating over RJ45. The router is small and can be managed which is a plus. Taking the time to set up the network correctly will enhance you network stability. While wireless might be the way to go, having a wired portion of your network will give you an advantage in your home office. I use mine for software downloads and when installing windows on the computers I repair for family and friends. If you decide to do this to your network you will find that you have been missing out on faster download speed. You will also realize that you now have control over the ports and if you do decide to wire one side of your network you will be able to stream and game without bottlenecking the network. This is a well manufactured compact device that can be used at home or at your business. Installation is a breeze and everything you need to get started in in the box. Purchase your cables for the other items and you will be up and running in no time. Great buy for your home or business.

Silent and cool with plenty of room for power requirements with my PoE network cameras.

This is a great compact switch. Small enough to hide on a desk behind a machine or monitor. Simple as ever to use, just plug it in and start connecting devices.



40 POE+ and 8 POE++ ports 4 10Gib SPF+ ports Layer 3 features Quiet fans

It worksit's small

Great product with upgradeable POE settings. Has 3 settings that can be adjusted for your needs when paired with a larger (same voltage) power supply.

Its a switch. It works. Now data transfers are limited to the speed of the hard drives and not the network.

Cheap, looks good.





Have three of these switches - all seem to be perfectly stable (in service about a year and a half now), and Netgear seems to do a decent job keeping up with firmware updates for it (have fixed a couple of critical security vulnerabilities and at least currently my Greenbone Security Assistant setup is happy with them). Dual firmware image slots, and the ability to use it totally offline with no cloud garbage enabled, SSH access, and even the web interface is decently speedy. It's pretty much all you can ask for in a small, passively cooled, smart gigabit switch.

* Nice compact form factor * Included power adapter option is nice * Even nicer is being able to power it off PoE - one less wire/plug socket to deal with * Integrates well with the UniFi Network app, showing what devices are connected to it


The MS305 (pay attention to the model number when purchasing) is a fine addition to a home network, especially with moving moderately large amounts of data between devices (pictures, streaming, archives) internally or via the Internet.
