  Also just be sure, if youre buying to POE power AP's etc, that you check the wattage budgets of the Gen 2 Unifi switches

  They drastically hampered them compared to Gen 1 units, i.e. we ordered a 16 Port Gen 2 after using the Gen 1's for years

  Gen 1 POE budget: 150w
  Gen 2 POE budget: 42w

  Be aware folks, theyre basically pushing people toward the Pro series gear.

  And be aware that the newer AP's can be hungrier than previous Gen units too

      glad you didnt get burnt like many of us did, i mean you just dont expect a brand to reduce a unit youve been buying for years to do THAT to you, tank the wattage by SO much…but well Ubiquiti…

    Yes exactly. I have the pro version of this switch on my camelcamelcamel for a long time now and nothing yet.

    FYI,
    This switch USW-24-POE has 24 ports of which 16 are POE capable.
    It has 95 watts to share among the 16 ports.

    Any easy way to tell them apart, other than the power budget? Been looking to replace the 8 port, 4 PoE, switch I have now to get some more PoE ports.

      I believe the difference is in the model # - I think it's a little unfair to say that Unifi has done a switcheroo here as some other commenters have suggested.

      Gen1 - US-24-POE - 250W
      Gen2 - USW-24-POE - 95W

      I wouldn't necessarily recommend trying to track down a Gen1 model - it has a higher power budget but it also has a fan. I believe gen2 is fanless?

      I have 4 access points, 3 cameras and a zigbee coordinator running on PoE currently, this consumes <40W.

        Ah, that's good to know. I currently have 3 APs, 1 camera, and a console, with plans to add 2 more cameras and another AP. Sounds like the 95Wight be okay. Was thinking of just avoiding issues with adding something and running out of juice.

        Edit: actually, one of those APs is using an injector, since I only have 4 PoE ports at they moment.

        Gen 2 switches aren't fanless, but runs silent under most loads

        I've got a mate who only ran into the POE limit at 8 G4 Pro cameras, and 6 nano-HD's, so I wouldn't underestimate how much 95W can give you. In that case, he was definitely pushing it and did upgrade to a Pro, but unless you're running that much, this switch should be fine.

        I also damn well hope it'll be fine, cause I just ordered it not long after posting the deal lol, but I've only got a few AP's, granted they're the WiFi 6 gen, but still, should be alright.

        Edit: I did remember that when he two PoE phones, he was still mostly good, but if anything had a spike of power draw (such as one of the cameras trying to focus at night) an AP would drop for about 1-2 seconds and reboot. Something worth keeping in mind.
