Simplify Your AV Network Design: Find the Right NETGEAR Products for Every Project

As an AV engineer, you know that the success of your installation depends on a reliable, efficient network foundation. Whether you’re deploying a large-scale video-over-IP solution, integrating PoE-powered cameras, or connecting WiFi 7 access points, choosing the right switch or router can make all the difference in performance, scalability, and uptime.

That’s why we’ve created the NETGEAR AV Product Reference Guide, a comprehensive, easy-to-use document designed to help you quickly identify the best switches and wireless devices for your AV projects.

What’s Inside the Guide

The guide provides a detailed overview of NETGEAR’s AV Line switches and wireless solutions, including:

  • M4250, M4300, M4350, and M4500 Series switches — purpose-built for AV over IP environments
  • PoE+ and PoE++ power budgets clearly listed for each model at 220V operation
  • Multi-Gig and fiber port configurations to match every type of AV deployment
  • Routers and WiFi 7 access points (like the PR460X, WBE758, and WBE718) optimized for high-speed backhaul and smooth wireless distribution
  • Redundancy and modular PSU options for mission-critical setups

Each section of the guide includes the model name, SKU, port types, power details, and management options, giving you everything you need to make an informed choice — whether you’re designing for a live event, broadcast studio, boardroom, or hospitality venue.

Why It Matters

When working with AV-over-IP systems, precision in design is key. Power budgets, PoE types, and redundancy options vary significantly across switch models. The AV Product Reference Guide ensures you:

  • Select switches that deliver sufficient PoE power for cameras, access points, and displays
  • Plan for future scalability with modular power supplies and stacking options
  • Align with regional 110V / 220V power standards common across installations
  • Save time on specification — no need to cross-reference multiple data sheets.
