According to our network switch expert
The Netgear GS308 v3 is a switch with 8 network ports. This allows you to connect devices with a maximum speed of 1 Gbps. This switch is equipped with Quality of Service. This gives priority to important network traffic. For example, video streams buffer less quickly. If you do not use network connections, the switch switches them off: that saves energy. The switch is plug and play, so you can easily provide your network with extra connections. This is possible without configuration, which means that you are ready in a few minutes. You mount this switch under a desk or on the wall.

Just to be clear, this review is about the GS305. Coolblue collects the reviews for various models in the GS3xx series and shows them all at one of the products. So I read all reviews about PoE for the GS305 (which does not have PoE). Don't let that surprise you.
On topic: The GS305 is therefore the basic version in the GS3xx series; unmanaged and no PoE. Just a simple switch in a solid metal housing. No (rickety) on/off switch on the back, as with its predecessor, the GS105. Only a power input for the supplied adapter. Totally fine.
The switch is used to split the network connection at the TV over various devices, such as Smart TV, Apple TV and Ziggo box. Since these devices are usually turned off, power consumption (besides quality) was the 2nd factor. Thanks to the new 802.3az standard "Energy Efficient Ethernet", this switch has a power consumption between 0.31 W (standby) and 2.15 W (max).

It was very easy to connect. Ideal product if you want to easily add extra Ethernet ports to your network. Power over Ethernet is very useful for IP cameras, for example.

This is an ordinary 'dumb' switch, essentially it doesn't do much more than branch the network from 1 to 4 internet lines. But he does that perfectly, therefore also a perfect score. As a bonus, this switch is equipped with POE so that you can power devices via the network cable. Done with an extra power wire on devices such as network cameras and access points.
I have connected a Ubiquiti Unifi AP-AC-LR (https://www.coolblue.be/nl/product/708658/ubiquiti-unifi-ap-ac-lr.html) to the GS305P and this works perfectly. The switch works with the IEEE 802.3af POE standard and can therefore detect whether the connected device needs power and how much. No fear of powering devices that don't need it.
The switch does have a slightly larger power adapter than other switches because of the POE capabilities, this might be useful to know.
