This NETGEAR Gigabit unmanaged switch helps businesses cost effectively expand their network to Gigabit speeds and high port counts.

This switch is energy-efficient, built to last, and rigorously tested to provide the reliability businesses need. 802.1p traffic prioritization and jumbo frame support allow for seamless integration with sophisticated networks.
 

Is this switch compatible with a mesh router (Google Home)? Will it have any negative effects on it? Thanks

No problem at all. I use it with mesh router and alexa. The switch goes between the modem and tge first unit of the mesh leaving you the extra ethernet units at that point which i use fot 2 computers a lg smart tv and a PS5 with no problems faster and takes a lot of bandwidth weight off the wifi.

Why do they call it wireless when you still have to plug it into a wall socket before you can use it ?

Because it has an app that allows you to monitor via your phone any area the Camara covers and notifies you when motion is detected. The "wire" is just to power the device.
