NETGEAR 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro PoE Switch (GS724TP) - with 24 x PoE+ @ 190W, 2 x 1G SFP, Desktop/Rackmount, and ProSAFE Limited Lifetime Protection

Amazing switch. For the price to get a fully managed 24 port switch that has 24 gigabit POE ports, supports VLANs, QOS, etc. and runs quiet is an exceptional piece of hardware. Very intuitive to figure out, the v2 version GUI works well and is fairly responsive.

Great Product - currently running 10 PoE Cameras off of it and no hiccups the last 2 months!

No complains. Works as advertised

I picked up the NETGEAR GS724TP-200NAS 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch after trying to pick up a used Dell 5324 from a vendor here on Amazon. Needless to say the used Dell didn't work out (because it was DOA) so I picked this switch up and am glad I did. I updated my home network with a new modem (Motorola MB8600) and a new router (Asus RT-AC5300) but needed a switch to bring it all together. I was looking for a smart switch (which this is) that would give me the ability to do ling aggregation, provide POE and VLAN. Well not only does this provide me with those options, it has a whole lot more for me to play with. One of my most favorite things about it is that the gui is very user friendly and allows you to label every port as well as provide drop down menus for almost anything you want to change. As a home user this switch is a bit of overkill right now, but I know that I have room to grow and set things up the way I want. This model does have fans and while they are not as loud as the stock ones that come with the Dell 5324, they are not as quiet as the replacement ones I purchased for it either. I know it has a built in fan curve because they do ramp up during the day when my home office heats up but I have not seen anything that would allow a user to control or change it. As of now I don't have any complaints, the setup, once I got some help from netgear customer support went very quickly and smoothly. If you are not sure if this switch is for you and you have questions I would recommend calling netgear as that is what I did and they were super helpful. I have heard some horror stories about netgear customer support and can honestly say that my experience with them has been outstanding. They answered all of my questions and when I couldn't log into the switch they patiently walked me through how to do it (if your home network is not using .1 in the third octet then you will not be able to access it). Vince, the customer service agent spent more than an hour on the phone with me after my issue was addressed just to help me with the setup of my LAG going to my server, router and modem. In my opinion, if you are an advanced home networker in need of a switch, this is the one you want because of its options, flexibility and the outstanding customer support that comes with it.

Best value switch out there. Has it all, Gigabit, POE, rack mountable and reliable.
