TP-Link TL-SG1005P V2 or later | 5 Port Gigabit PoE Switch | 4 PoE+ Ports @65W | Desktop | Plug & Play | Sturdy Metal w/ Shielded Ports | Fanless | Limited Lifetime Protection | QoS & IGMP Snooping

I read hundreds of reviews and couldn't figure out why this PoE was getting such a bad rap. br>br>First and foremost, there is a requirement: There are three TP-bags in my possession. LINK EAP 660HD (WiFi 6) users who want to use PoE to power their devices. This is an 802. 3on devices that consume 21 watts of power 5 W each. As a result, I had to plan for a 64 at the very least. Switch with a 5W rating. The majority of reviews were for the PREVIOUS gen V1, which looked the same but was only "af" compliant up to 15W per port, so it won't work with those power hungry devices. br>br>Amazon now sells V2 "at compliant," which increases the total budget to 65W and the per-port limit to 30W. Sweet. Currently, there are three high-level Two EAP660HD Omada hardware controllers or power APs can both work properly. af/at is a bit of a misnomer. Don't hold it against the manufacturer for failing to comprehend your own equipment requirements.

This switch was purchased with the intent of powering PoE security cameras. I have two cameras on my system right now: JideTech and Amcrest cameras were used. I immediately plugged in both cameras after receiving the switch. The Amcrest camera was powered by the switch, but the JideTech was not. Despite coming from different manufacturers, both cameras have the same PoE specs. br>br>It just so happened that I also ordered a PoE-capable Amcrest switch. I thought the JideTech camera was buggy at first, but when the Amcrest switch arrived, I moved both cameras to it and they both powered up without a hitch. Other reviewers have reported that devices that work fine with other switches do not power up at all with the TP-Link. Link. As a result, the evidence currently points to the TP- The link switch appears to be malfunctioning. br>br>It's not my cup of tea to play PoE roulette on a buggy switch.

My two Unifi AP AC Pros are the best investments I've made, and they're working great because they have a maximum wattage of 9W versus the TP-LINK TP-LINK TP-LINK TP-LINK TP-LINK TP-LINK TP-LINK TP-LINK TP-LINK TP-LINK TP-LINK 15W 802. 11b link output The compatibility rating is 3af. The distance between each Unifi AP and the TP-Link is between 25 and 50 feet. On CAT6, there is a link switch. This distance was ideal for me because I live in an area with a lot of interference. Since my L***sys EA7500 Wifi died after 5 years, a home network upgrade project was the best option for moving away from low-cost consumer-level security controls like Firmware/Software security updates. br>br>Because this is an unmanaged switch for my PoE APs, it will operate independently, with routing and vlan management handled by my MikroTik hAP AC2 router.

In my home, I have three of these switches in use, and I've had a total of five over the years, two of which have died. All are covered by a limited lifetime warranty. sort of. I was pleased with the durability of the first one, which died on me about 5 years ago after a number of years of service. However, because I was covered by the lifetime warranty, I contacted TP- I explained why I thought the switch had failed by clicking on this link. They agreed with my conclusion and promptly mailed me a replacement at no charge and without requiring me to return the old one - Fast forward to last week, when the second one failed after only about a year of service, which was unacceptable. Unlike the first failure, I've been told that I can send this unit to them for "review," and that if it's found to be defective, they'll send me a replacement with a $15 shipping bill - Essentially, the price of a new unit. So, in order for them to honor their warranty, I'll have to pay for shipping the dead switch to them and then pay them $15 to send a $15 replacement switch? If I'm not mistaken, that means I'll have to pay $1 to get them to honor their warranty. It costs 5 to 2 times as much as buying a new one on Amazon. TP- TP- TP- TP- TP- TP- TP- Link has morphed from a reputable manufacturer of long-lasting network products to a con artist selling dubious products. The warranty they provide is a farce.

So I've been using this particular switch and router for the past five years. br>I have a lot of them set up. The more well-known brands are being phased out. br>I've never had a failure other than a lightning strike, which happens quite frequently in my area. br>br>I never have to worry about this brand failing me. Without taking inventory, I wouldn't be able to give you a total count. br>br>This item was recently purchased for a specific purpose and continues to function flawlessly. br>I have a lot of network camera runs, and I'm going to upgrade the ones that are longer than 150 feet to CAT6, which will solve the problem of video cameras turning on and off. CAT6 runs at 250 feet work fine for me. br>br>Until then, I and you can solve the off-and-on problem by installing one of these somewhere between 100 and 125 feet. The unstable cameras have been working fine since I did this; you could use a single POE extender, but they are repeaters and could cause problems. However, if you have power somewhere along the path and can justify the cost, it is worthwhile because it allows you to have additional connections for more cakes if necessary. Since then, my camera hasn't flinched. br>br>Now for some additional information. The camera that is powered by one of these switches is housed in a steel container that is hot and humid and has no air conditioning. Even so, it works flawlessly. It is possible to replace the wire, but the cost of the wire and labor time would be higher than simply installing the switch.

Everything is ready to use. There is no way to register a product, find a network, or anything like that. I connected my two new Lorex system cameras to the switch, connected the switch to my network, and turned on the power, and my system found and powered up the cameras (POE). br>br>When I bought a NETGEAR switch, I had the exact opposite experience. After trying to get the NETGEAR switch to work (registering, uploading an app, and trying to locate the cameras), I decided to buy this. br>br>Plain and simple to use. It's perfect for people like me who aren't very tech-savvy. Oh, and there's a lifetime warranty on top of that. br>br>Five stars instead of six because there aren't any.
