Is it safe (for all the devices) to connect both types of devices: PoE & non-PoE to the GS305P switch ? (e.g. PCs, Laptops, no-PoE hubs, etc)

Hi LeMike, Yes it is safe to have PoE and non-PoE. on the same switch. The power will only engage if the device has request. Please let me know if you need anything else. :] - Jason N

Mikey94025 , you are spot on. Yes, I do have a BroadLink Smart Motion Sensor with Hub. When I unplugged it, the WIFI SSID went away. When I plugged it in, it came back.

Now, I just have to workout with Broadlink what this is and why its there.

The confusion was that the WIFI channel shifted when I changed my Orbi WIFI channel - thus making me think it was related to my Orbi system.

I had previously tried searching for the term "SYNC_AP" before, but no hits came up - the posting about it on the UAE Amazon web site must have been recent.

Thanks again Mikey94025 !
