About NETGEAR 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged PoE+ Switch (GS316PP)
Overall Feedback:
86% positive
89% liked its broad compatibility, while 11% experienced compatibility issues
Some Unifi models require 24 V passive POE and are not compatible with this switch, but the Unifi UAP-AC-PRO is compatible.
I suggest buying a different switch if you plan to supply power to IP cameras as the switch is not compatible with POE connections.
75% praised for its easy management features, while 25% found it complicated to set up
There is no web managed interface for VLANs or trunking.
I did not appreciate being told to download an app and register the device, and when I did, I saw that there were now paid subscriptions. This caused me to delete the app.
68% liked the flexible mounting options, but 32% found it difficult to install
The switch has a solid metal case, is fanless and easily wall mountable.
The product can be used as a desktop, wall mount or rack mount unit and comes with all the necessary hardware.
I have noticed that the switch cannot be wall mounted despite the product description stating so.
89% praised for its fast network speeds, while 11% experienced slow connectivity
I used the network speeds to their full potential without any slowdown.
After using the switch, I noticed no loss of connection speed.
As per our test results, the switch can achieve full wire speeds across all ports.
The switch randomly shuts down ports for 3-4 seconds, occasionally up to around 4.5 seconds.
88% liked the quiet operation, but 12% found it too loud
The switch handles multiple devices without any issues and does not get too warm despite not having a fan built-in.
I bought the switch by mistake and did not use it until I wired my extensive security system.
When I plug in an RJ45 connector, the unit falls off the wall.
94% liked the ample port count
I appreciate the fact that the switch has 4 PoE ports and I am excited to utilize them.
I purchased an 8 port-53 Watt PoE model for my video cameras.
The switch has 8 ports and is fully gigabit with 802.3af PoE on ports 1-4.
77% appreciated the durable construction, while 23% noticed flimsy parts
I am satisfied with the construction of the Netgear switch. The solid metal piece of hardware is worth the price.
The switch has a solid metal case, is fanless, and can be easily wall-mounted, which is common with Netgear switches.
I find it stupid that the device has a large external power supply with no way of mounting it.
90% appreciated the robust security features, while 10% found them inadequate
I suggest that the GS110TPv3 switch is suitable for POE connections.
