2. Connect the switch
Sample connections
- GS305PP
- Internet
- PoE +
- Access point
- Router
- Internet
- VoIP phone
- Security cameras
This switch is designed for indoor use only. If you want to connect it to a device located outdoors, the outdoor device must be properly grounded and surge protected, and you must install an Ethernet surge protector inline between the switch and the outdoor device. Failure to do so can damage the switch.
Before connecting this switch to outdoor cables or devices, see https:/lkb.netgear.com/000057103 for safety and warranty information.
3. Connect to power and check the LEDs
When you connect the power adapter to the switch and plug the power cable into an electrical outlet, the LEDs indicate the status.
Models GS305Pv2 and GS305PP provide PoE+ or PoE power on ports 1-4 up to 30W PoE to each port, with a PoE power budget of 63W and 83W respective to each model across all active PoE ports.
| LED | Description |
| Power LED |  On. The switch is receiving power. Off. The switch is not receiving power. |
| Ports 1-5 left LED | On.1000 Mbps link on this port. On. 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps link on this port. Blinking. 1000 Mbps activity on this port. Blinking. 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps activity on this port. Off. No link is detected on this port. |
| Ports 1-4 right LED | On. PoE is in use. On. PoE fault. Off. PoE is not in use on this port. |
| PoE Max LED | The PoE Max LED indicates the status of the PoE budget on the switch: Off. Sufficient. More than 7W of PoE power is available. On. Less than 7W of PoE power is available.Blinking. At least once during the previous two minutes, less than 7W of PoE power was available. |
Mount the switch on a wall
We recommend that you use the wall-mount screws that came with the switch.
- Locate the two mounting holes on the bottom panel of the switch.
- Mark and drill two mounting holes in the wall.
- The two mounting holes must be 1.53 in. (38.9 mm) apart, center-to-center. Insert the supplied anchors into the wall and tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver.
Leave about 0.125 in. (4 mm) of each screw protruding from the wall so that you can insert the screws into the holes on the bottom panel.
Note: The screws are 4.2 mm in diameter, 25 mm in length.

PoE considerations
The PoE and PoE+ power supplied by the switch is prioritized in ascending port order (from port 1 to port 4), with a total power budget of 63W for the GS305Pv2, and 83W for the GS305PP switch. If the power requirements for the attached powered devices (PDs) exceed the total power budget of the switch, the PD on the highest-numbered port is disabled to make sure that the PDs that are connected to the higher-priority, lower-numbered ports are supported first.
PoE troubleshooting
Here are some tips for correcting PoE problems that might occur:
- If the PoE Max LED is yellow, disconnect one or more PoE devices to prevent PoE oversubscription. Start by disconnecting the device from the highest-numbered port.
- For each powered device (PD) that is connected to the switch, the associated right port LED on the switch lights solid green. If the right port LED lights yellow, a PoE fault occurred because of one of the conditions listed in the following table.
| PoE Fault Condition | Possible Solution |
| A PoE-related short circuit occurred on the port. | The problem is most likely with – the attached PD. Check the condition of the PD or restart the PD by disconnecting and reconnecting the PD. |
| The PoE power demand of the PD exceeded the maximum level that the switch permits. The maximum level is 15.4W for a PoE connection or 30W for a PoE+ connection | |
| The PoE current on the port exceeded the classification limit of the PD. | |
| The PoE voltage of the port is outside the range that the switch permits | Restart the switch to see if the condition resolves itself. |
