Description

The Netgear GS308EP is a network switch with 8 connectors and 7 of those have Power over Ethernet. This way, you can power devices like IP phones and access points via the network cable without needing an extra socket. You can also configure this switch entirely according to your own preferences. For example, prioritize video calls with Quality of Service. This way, your employees can continue their meeting while downloading a large update. In addition, you can track the internet traffic on your network precisely. If the internet happens to be slow, you can easily see who's taking up a lot of bandwidth. Thanks to VLAN, you can divide your network into multiple parts. For example, create separate networks for your employees, external staff, and visitors. This way, files will never fall into the wrong hands.

Nice POE switch for a small budget.

  • POE budget sufficient for 2/3 access points
  • Solid aluminum housing
  • Power supply is a bit big, but that can't be any other way with a POE switch

Just to be clear, this review is about the GS305.
Coolblue collects the reviews for various models in the GS3xx series and shows them all at one of the products. So I read all reviews about PoE for the GS305 (which does not have PoE). Don't let that surprise you.

On topic: The GS305 is therefore the basic version in the GS3xx series; unmanaged and no PoE.
Just a simple switch in a solid metal housing. No (rickety) on/off switch on the back, as with its predecessor, the GS105. Only a power input for the supplied adapter. Totally fine.

The switch is used to split the network connection at the TV over various devices, such as Smart TV, Apple TV and Ziggo box. Since these devices are usually turned off, power consumption (besides quality) was the 2nd factor. Thanks to the new 802.3az standard "Energy Efficient Ethernet", this switch has a power consumption between 0.31 W (standby) and 2.15 W (max).

Simple POE switch that does its thing perfectly

  • POE Capable
  • compact *

This is an ordinary 'dumb' switch, essentially it doesn't do much more than branch the network from 1 to 4 internet lines.
But he does that perfectly, therefore also a perfect score.
As a bonus, this switch is equipped with POE so that you can power devices via the network cable. Done with an extra power wire on devices such as network cameras and access points.

I have connected a Ubiquiti Unifi AP-AC-LR (https://www.coolblue.be/nl/product/708658/ubiquiti-unifi-ap-ac-lr.html) to the GS305P and this works perfectly. The switch works with the IEEE 802.3af POE standard and can therefore detect whether the connected device needs power and how much. No fear of powering devices that don't need it.

The switch does have a slightly larger power adapter than other switches because of the POE capabilities, this might be useful to know.

Great solid product without fuss

  • Power over Ethernet
  • Solid
  • Easy in use

It was very easy to connect. Ideal product if you want to easily add extra Ethernet ports to your network. Power over Ethernet is very useful for IP cameras, for example.
