According to our network switch expert
The Netgear GS305EP is a network switch with 5 connectors and 4 of those have Power over Ethernet. This way, you can power devices like IP phones and access points via the network cable without needing an extra socket. You can also configure this switch entirely according to your own preferences. For example, prioritize streaming with Quality of Service. This way, your favorite series won't stutter when you're downloading at the same time. In addition, you can track the internet traffic on your network precisely. If the internet happens to be slow, you can easily see who's taking up a lot of bandwidth. Thanks to VLAN, you can divide your network into multiple parts. For example, make a separate network for your home office. This way, your kids or friends that come over don't have access to your business files.

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.
