Issues with PoE+ with GS105PE
Hello, I bought a GS105-PE and a Ubiquiti Gigabit PoE+ 30W injector with the 802.3at standard, but the switch is always falling back on 802.3af standard. But for my devices I need the 802.3at standa...

Reads like a workable solution.

Potentially an interop issue. Have deployed large number of GS105PE (which exists in two chipset versions) powered by 802.3at PoE+ switches, pretty much flawless.

Tell us your exact expectations of what you intend to power. Even if the switch would retain the 802.3at power reliably, you can't power a 802.3at Class 4 PD, the max is one 802.3af Class 0 or Class 3 PD (or two Class 1 or 2 PDs).
FMI ref. PoE power availability -> GS105PE: PoE troubleshooting
First item to check is the current firmware. Update to the current version - mind your step, depending on the production time, you need to update version by version -> Solved: GS105PE * Need new Bootloader - NETGEAR Communities
Thank you for your help. I tried to supply a TP-Link Omada EAP610. Actually I gave the product back to the seller. The Omada EAP610 needs 12W max. on PoE+ standard (802.3at). For me the product isn't doing what it should do and I expected a solution working out of the box properly.
The model does request 802.3at Class 4 power - the product datasheet specs state:
802.3at PoE
EU: 12.8 W (For PoE)
US: 13.9W (For PoE)While the EU power could be fulfilled by a 802.3af Class 0 or Class 3 (guaranteed 12.95W at the PD), in the US regulatory config it requires more. Appears they use the same base platform, so it is requesting 802.3at Class 4 - the GS105PE can't supply this, thus PoE won't enable.
