TP-Link LS105GP is a compact 5-port Gigabit desktop switch with 4 PoE+ ports and a 65 W budget — the right size for a small camera group, a couple of access points, or a single-room deployment.

Gigabit is the reason to choose this over a 10/100 PoE switch. Modern high-resolution cameras, and especially WiFi 6 access points, can push more than 100 Mbps — and an access point throttled by its uplink wastes most of what you paid for it. Gigabit PoE ports remove that bottleneck.

PoE Auto Recovery is the feature that saves site visits. IP cameras and access points occasionally lock up and stop responding while still drawing power. The switch detects that a device has stopped replying and power-cycles just that port, rebooting it automatically. Without it, someone has to drive out and unplug a camera.

Technical Specifications

1) What does PoE Auto Recovery actually do?

IP cameras and access points sometimes lock up while still drawing power. The switch notices the device has stopped responding and power-cycles that port to reboot it. Without it, somebody has to physically go and unplug the device.

2) Why choose Gigabit PoE over a 10/100 PoE switch?

Because of what you are powering. High-resolution cameras and especially WiFi 6 access points can exceed 100 Mbps, and a throttled access point wastes most of its capability. For basic 1080p cameras, 10/100 is adequate and cheaper.

3) How many devices will 65 W power?

Total your actual device figures. A fixed IP camera is typically 4–8 W; a WiFi 6 access point can be 15–25 W; PTZ cameras and heated housings considerably more. Leave headroom for anything added later.

4) Is Extend Mode worth using?

Only when you need the distance. It reaches 250 m instead of 100 m, but drops those ports to 10 Mbps — fine for a standard camera stream, not for a busy access point.

5) Do I need a controller or software?

No. It is unmanaged and plug and play. Extend Mode and PoE Auto Recovery are set with hardware switches on the unit.
