Where are the new Multigig switches? Its 2020 not 1980 already?
With advancements in chip controller technology in the past few years, its really mind boggling that Net Gear doesn’t offer more switch options especially in their Insight Series & Business Class. I...

Hi Neilio
Thanks for the feedback and inquiries about our products.
The market demand for an all-port Multigig switches with Remote/Cloud management is well aware of NETGEAR. There will be two new Smart Managed Pro Multigig/10G switch models with the exact features you want, non-PoE and PoE, come to the market by early January 2021. They will be good options for the latest NETGEAR WiFi 6 Access Points WAX610/WAX610Y. Please stay tunned for the new switches.

These are short everywhere ..
What features do you need from the WiFi 6 AP? Netgear seems to come up with new standalone "essential-kind*" WAX models (several retailers are already shipping these as of writing!). *From the Data Sheet showing as 214 AX1800 and 218 AX3200 variants, as expected without Insight support, PoE resp. PoE+, GbE only, no indications of multiple SSID (like the WAX204!) and/or VLAN support, no indication of supporting seamless roaming.
Google is your friend - and I will certainly get a nasty emails from the CIA again.The best one you will find is "If in doubt please search on manufacturer website using Product Model WAX218-100EUS..." ROFL Netgear - do not make your unpaid and manufacturer unsupported community members responsible for what ever.
Have some WAX610 out there with a new customer installation (can't get any here these days here in Switzerland, too - on backorder, delivery date unknown) - nice but not inexpensive. The WAX610 (2x2:2 AX1800) will become interesting for replacing mass deployments of WAC505 once a future WAX6xx (4x4:4 AC3200 AP) will become available for the network hot spots currently served by WAC540 - and when Netgear manages to manufacture and sell volume packets of WAX610 (like the WAC505) at a much more attractive price. Until then, I'm rather happy with the WAC540/WAC505 Insight configs. Currently it appears to be gold digger times for WiFi 6 access points.
