Amazon is currently offering the NETGEAR 16-port Gigabit Power-over-Ethernet Plus Unmanaged Switch for $229.99 shipped. Normally listed for $280, this is only the second, and lowest, drop in price we’ve seen with this switch. A PoE switch operates similarly to a normal Ethernet switch, but it also distributes power to every port to power devices on the other end of the cord. This switch is perfect for those looking to create a home security network as most security cameras operate on PoE. Being an unmanaged switch means you won’t be able to set port priority, have port-by-port control, or have any VLAN control.
While this is a great deal on a switch for home security networks, you may just be after some additional Ethernet ports for your computers and other devices. NETGEAR has you covered there with the 5-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Switch (GS205) for $12. This is a great fit for your home office where you may have multiple devices that need Ethernet but only one outlet in the room. Simply connect power and the main Ethernet plug and you’re off!
