Great switch, especially if you want POE Tech Level:
Ownership:
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Comments: Switch is very easy to setup, basicly open the box and plug it into your network. Bought it to use with a WG102 WAP as both support POE (Power Over Ethernet). This makes intallation somewhat easier as the separate power supply for the WG102 is not needed.
Unit is in a rugged matel case (prefer over the plastic ones now common) and a little pricey. Overall it was woth the c...

Be careful with POE Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: 1) Low Cost
2) Small Size
Cons: This POE switch will not support 4 VOIP telephones at one time. It is quoted at having a 32W POE budget but 4x 6W phones put it over budget.
It should only be used for very light POE draws.

Most economical PoE switch available Tech Level: high
Ownership: more than 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: Great price for PoE switch, very reliable, lifetime warranty.

Other Thoughts: I have six of these in active service, and have yet to have any problems with them. I use them with Netgear PoE access points (WG10...

not so much PoE Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Easy to hook up because it is a ""dumb"" switch, there are no configuration options for it.
Cons: not enough power for three Siemens (Chantry) AP2610 access points. It will power them but they power cycle at least once a day and the amber PoE max warning light on the switch is always blinking.

Update to 10/15/2006 review Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: I added another IK-WB15A surveillance camera to the switch (now total POE devices = 2) and still working great! Video surveillance is really cool! I have both cameras streaming 640x480 at 15fps with no problems (can even do 30 fps with no sweat but recording at that rate chews disk fast).
Cons: None - I haven't been disappointed by netgea...

It works I bought this because it is essentially the cheapest POE switch that I could find. It does it's job. It is a good solution to a home automation project.

Needs Occasional Power Reset It works most of the time, but about once a month freezes up. Removing and reapplying power brings it back to life, but you could waste a lot of time trying to figure out why your network isn't working if you have several components to check.

Fine product I bought this switch for the poe feature. That feature works fine providing power to a poe-enabled network camera. The non-poe ports also work fine. Installation was plug and play. I would highly recommend this product.

Cheap POE Switch Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: These are cheap POE switches that are great for extending our IP phone system to parts of the building that did not have POE switches.
Cons: We have had one of the two units we purchased lose port (i.e. dead) in less than 4 months. The unit has not yet been warranteed.
