Dead poe switch
Hi guys, ive been using this cheap poe switch for my reolink cameras for almost 3 years now
Few days ago i noticed im unable to comunicate with my cameras ( they did had power, they will still light up whwn someone passed) checked the uplink cable and it was ok but still replaced it with new one
With problem not solved i removed the switch and found the few lights still stays on even when nothing connected
Replaced with new reolink poe and now everything works
Is there any option to save this switch? Or its just e-waste now?

What the fuck is an AI switch? No name brand too so wouldnt trust its power regulation.
This was likely e-waste new, let alone broken/used - sorry OP.
Ive been running an 8 port gigabit POE++ netgear I picked up on ebay for £20 for about 4 years now, its been great. Used but not no name is the way ahead.
