My Netgear 24‑Port Gigabit PoE+ Essentials Switch has been a great upgrade from my older 16‑port model, giving me the extra ports and PoE power I needed for my Reolink cameras and NVR. It runs cool, stable, and delivers plenty of headroom for future expansion. I’m very happy with my purchase.

This switch allowed for the expansion of cat 6 wired outlets. Easy plug and play. So far all is working well.
