NETGEAR GS728TXP-300NAS

Overview

The NETGEAR GS728TXP-300NAS is a managed network switch designed to deliver high-speed connectivity and power over Ethernet for a variety of environments such as offices, retail spaces, and classrooms. It features twenty-four Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE+ support, each capable of delivering up to 29 watts, and four SFP+ slots for 10-gigabit fiber uplinks. With a total PoE budget of 190 watts and a switching capacity of 128 gigabits per second, this switch ensures smooth data flow and reliable power delivery to connected devices like Wi-Fi access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones.

Key features

• PoE+ support on all 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports allows powering devices directly through network cables, reducing the need for separate power supplies.
• Four SFP+ slots provide flexible 10 Gb/s fiber uplink options for high-speed network expansion and backbone connectivity.
• Advanced network segmentation with support for up to 256 VLANs enhances security and traffic management by isolating different types of network traffic.
• Layer 2 Plus and Layer 3 Lite features, including static routing, help reduce network bottlenecks by handling basic routing tasks within the switch.
• Quality of Service (QoS) prioritizes voice and video traffic to maintain clear communication and smooth streaming in busy network environments.
• Automatic Denial of Service (DoS) prevention adds a layer of security by detecting and mitigating network attacks.
• Flexible management options include a local web interface and cloud-based control via Netgear Insight, enabling remote monitoring and configuration from any device.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
