The short version

The MS108EUP is NETGEAR's 8-port 2.5 Gbps Easy Smart switch, with four PoE+ ports, four Ultra60 PoE++ ports and a 230 W power budget for access points, cameras and other powered devices. Web management covers VLANs and QoS, and the fanless design runs silently. It suits small offices and homes deploying Wi-Fi 7 access points. The budget cannot feed all eight ports at full power, and management is lighter than on fully managed switches.

Pros

  • Eight 2.5 Gbps ports with 100M, 1G and 2.5G auto-negotiation
  • 230 W budget with four PoE+ and four Ultra60 PoE++ ports
  • Fanless, silent operation
  • Web-based VLAN and QoS management

Cons

  • 230 W budget cannot supply full power to all eight ports at once
  • No SFP or 10 Gbps uplink ports
  • ServeTheHome noted limited features such as 64 VLANs

Best for

  • Powering Wi-Fi 7 access points and PoE cameras
  • Small offices that need quiet multi-gig PoE

  • ServeTheHome

    Neutral

    Launch coverage describes a fanless Realtek RTL9303 2.5GbE PoE++ switch limited to 64 VLANs, and judged its list price steep for what PoE adds over an unmanaged 2.5GbE switch.
