Decent 16 port POE switch. It has the power I need to run APs and Poe cameras. The pice that falls short for me is lack of configuration. Not much to tweak under the good. But it gets the job done at a low price point.

The option the switch provides are great only down side is the noise it makes. It's rack mounted in closet and either sacrifice air flow or sound. I choose air flow.

This is a decent soho switch. I wish it had a dedicated management port and could register with the netgear app. Like that I can mirror multiple source ports.

I have two, the jgs516pe and the jgs524pe. Both of them the fans failed in the first year. Because I opened the unit to diagnose it, NETGEAR refuses to replace or service the unit. You can’t even order a replacement fan for it. Nor can you use an off the shelf fan as this uses a proprietary speed sensor that causes any other fan to not work. Would I recommend this switch? No. And quite frankly my experience with NETGEAR has caused me to have little to no faith in their products or service. I’ll never buy NETGEAR again. For myself or the clients I do business with.
This switch did the job. It seemed a little quirky when I had it set to get its management IP address from an un-tagged port. I think it is an issue wit the firmware. It actually seemed to pick up the address from a TAGGED VLAN, but setting it statically seemed resolve the issue. Otherwise the switch powered up the yealink phones I wanted on their own VLAN.
Got this switch for working with equipment at work, and so far it has been great. I needed the Gigabit speed, along with IGMP snooping and multicast features, without having to deal with a fully managed switch. this is great. Plug and play. For anyone that just needs for a robust office switch, this is great. has the bandwidth for VoIP, AVoverIP and zippy fast LAN speed for everything else. Perfect for my application and I couldn't find a better price on a comparable switch. Very happy with this device. PLUS it's whisper quiet. Super bonus.
NETGEAR continues to have some of the best appliances around. Plug and play, easy to use, reliable, and affordable. Don't just take my word for it, buy one for yourself and prove me wrong.
Love the JGS line from NETGEAR, recommend it for the home network nerds that want a GUI interface to have some control over specific network protocols. I already have the JGS524PE and had a simple NETGEAR 8 port die on me, being I have several POE connections, it was time to dump the two small 8 port units and get the 16PE. It was tricky getting into it the first time via the PROSAFE app, nothing that can't be overcome if you understand how to configure your desktop to do so, maybe NETGEAR can revisit that part of it making it a little bit more plug and play. I recommend this unit and all NETGEAR products, I have the ORBI 850 with 2 S850's, JGS524PE, JGS516PE and CM1000.
Using this switch in a house we built that has a combination of POE security cameras and in-the-home gamers that require 1Gbit wired. Very easy to setup and secure with seperate VLANs.
So far I’ve enjoyed the switch and found the navigation and configuration intuitive. Upgraded the firmware and have been humming ever since. I’ve not used the POE ports yet, but expect those to be operational.
