Network modeling
Is there a service that if I provided a network map would provide me with suggested switches for a mixed (i.e poe for voip and non voip for computers and smart tvs) home network?
jjesson,
Having an 802.3at switch will still be depending on how your network to be setup and depends on the devices that will be connected to it. Yes, you are correct. Even if the main switch is GS510TP which is a POE+(802.3at), the GS110TP will still remain the same running in POE(802.3af).
I encourage you to mark the appropriate reply as the “Accepted Solution” so others can be confident in benefiting from the solution. The NETGEAR Community looks forward to hearing from you and being a helpful resource in the future!

Hi jjesson,
Welcome to our community!
That would be possible if you can share with us what you needed so that we may know what we can provide you.
Regards,
The above is crude network sketch. My biggest question is when you are mixing poe and non poe assignments how do you control the ports (ie I assume you can't have a poe port to a non poe appliance). I also don't know understand if the down stream switches get their power from the first switch or do they need individual ac outlets for power. I would like some flexibility to in terms of future expansion and I don't no whether those devices will poe or non poe. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
