All the essential Layer 2 features, with easy VLAN configuration and PoE features your business needs are packed into these switches with the best Total Cost of Ownership you can get.
“Why didn’t I get this NETGEAR in the first place? It's not that much more expensive than the other brands, and it gives me many more tools since it is a robust, managed switch. I've also noticed significant performance improvements. I am SOLD! I will recommend this PoE switch to anyone, both home or business use. Hands down, it's the best I've ever worked with!” (Jeff from San Jose)

I wish I had gone with NETGEAR from the beginning. Networking in the office runs much better now.” (Feel the Need, To Read)
2. Works instantly out-of-the-box within local network
Simply plug the switch in, and get speed and performance instantly, without the need of specific configuration. Then, if you require VLAN or extra feature set up, easily configure them using the local GUI.
“I like how it works perfectly right out of the box. It's well built, and the GUI is perfectly usable with support and info avail online if needed.” (Feel the Need, To Read)
“Very easy to setup (plug and play for basics) and a nice web interface if you want to get into the weeds and lock down the switch. I would buy again without hesitation! Recommend!” (Amazon customer)
3. PoE+ (up to 30W per port) across all ports and powerful PoE offerings
All ports are PoE+ on the PoE models; this will allow any type of deployment, today and tomorrow. Efficiently power wireless access points, IP Cameras and VoIP phones on a single switch.
“Every single port on the switch supports PoE so you don't have to check to be sure you are putting your PoE devices in the correct port.” (Techmeister)
4. Easy to set up and manage in local web browser-based GUI with full access
The S350 series comes with an intuitive GUI that allows easy configuration of all features such as VLANs, PoE features and QoS among many others. Simply access the GUI to all features with no additional action or registration.

5. Advanced per port PoE control on the PoE models
Allows more advanced power management on the connected devices; including PoE operation scheduling and dynamic PoE budget allocation to the prioritized ports for your Wireless APs, IP security cameras, VoIP/Video phone and IoT devices, etc.
“The POE cameras I use are about 8 watts each. I've got 15 of them plugged into this and it's working great. I plugged this into power, I plugged cameras, a wireless AP, and other network devices and I've had zero issues. It works great!” (Michael)
6. Rate limiting and priority queuing for better bandwidth allocation
Guarantees performance, improves latency and/or increases usable bandwidth for certain network traffic by delaying other kinds of packets.
“I manage their IT solutions and wanted to incorporate the latest POE + technology with a reputable and affordable product. Netgear met that challenge and the resulting performance has been better than expected.” (Paul E. Hanley)

The S350 series is purposely designed for converged networks where voice, video, data are all carried on a single network platform.
