GS308P on Mac OS Monterey
Anybody have issues? I am connecting 2 gigabit ethernet cameras from Allied. Within 10 min, the cameras get disconnected. (OS Monterey)
I see that Netgear has another model GS308EP
I want an unmanaged switch that has POE and is unmanaged.
Anyway to make this one work? Why is it not working right?

Very unspecific, this could be a vendor, a device maker, ... - exact camera make, name and designation please.

The 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 4-Port PoE Model GS308P Installation Guide does offer some basic troubleshooting by the LEDs, "Step 3. Check the status." as well as "PoE considerations - PoE Fault Conditions".

Beyond, the GS308P — 8 Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch with 4-Port PoE Support Page does offer a Guided Assistance.

The GS308EP is a very similar model, GS308EP — 8-Port PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switch offering some basic configuration controls, and does allw updating the firmware if required.
PS. Requested moving your post to the Business Solutions -> Switches -> Unmanaged Switches Forum

I am using 2 Allied Mako G-125B. This problem arise also on a system that only has one camera.
last time I checked the LEDs in the front of the switch. they were ON. That tells me, that the switch is unstable and dropped the connection and then it came back. My software cannot recover from this issue.
I am assuming it's a drop because if I just restart my software, the cameras are working again.
I had different configuration (one or 2 cameras. Mac mini or imac but always on Monterey).
I am going back to TP-Link.
