Experience the most versatile and easy to manage switches in the market
As a leading provider of network equipment for SMBs, NETGEAR® understands the importance of reliable and high performance networks. With the growth of virtualisation, cloud-based services and applications like VoIP, video streaming and IP surveillance, SMB networks need to extend beyond simple reliability to simpler management and remote monitoring to ensure your network is “always up”. NETGEAR also understands that small business owners shouldn’t have to understand networking and IT; they need a network that’s easy-to-setup and is reliable, so they can focus on their business, not their network. To that end, NETGEAR is introducing our most versatile and easy-to-manage switches ever, NETGEAR Insight Managed Smart Cloud switches.
The Insight Managed Smart Cloud Gigabit Ethernet Switches are the first switches from NETGEAR with anywhere configuration and management. All you need is the NETGEAR Insight app for easy setup, monitoring and remote/cloud management of your Insight Managed Switches, Insight Managed Wireless Access Points, and Business-class ReadyNAS storage. With their remote cloud manageability, sleek design silent or whisper-quiet operation, they are the most versatile switches in the market for any environment. Now you can setup, manage and monitor your network all from the palm of your hand and from anywhere in the world!

Build a future-proof network with NETGEAR Insight Managed Switches
Comprehensive IPv6 management, QoS and ACL support, ensuring investment protection and a smooth migration to IPv6-based networking
Provides PoE+ (802.3at) on all 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, with advanced per-port PoE controls (set specific power budget per port in addition to automatic class-defined) and PoE scheduling and timers
390W PoE+ power budget, with the flexibility to serve power-hungry devices such as 11ac Wireless APs, VoIP voice and video phones, security/surveillance cameras including PTZ, and other IoT devices
Solid performance with a non-blocking architecture (Up to 92Gb/s network fabric)
Advanced QoS with IPv4/IPv6 ingress traffic filtering (ACLs) and prioritisation (QoS)
Dynamic VLAN assignment for easy user authentication and location-independent access to network
Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) support for more energy savings in the future when more EEE-compliant end devices come to market
Advanced QoS with IPv4/IPv6 ingress traffic filtering (ACLs) and prioritisation (QoS)
Dedicated SFP ports on all models support long-distance uplinks or for can be used for redundancy and failover, improving reliability and availability for network virtualisation
IPV4 & IPV6 static routing allow for a simple way to provide segmentation of the network with internal routing through the switch – reserving the router for external traffic routing only, making the entire network more efficient.
