FAQs
How does a cloud managed switch work?
As the name suggests, a cloud managed switch connects to your network and lets you control it remotely through Insight - a cloud-based platform. You can monitor traffic, adjust settings, and troubleshoot from any location using a web interface or app. Changes are pushed in real time, so updates and configurations happen instantly. This means you don’t need on-site IT to manage the network. Everything runs through a secure, encrypted connection to protect your data.
Do cloud managed switches require a subscription?
Our cloud-managed switches include optional remote management through NETGEAR Insight. You can use these switches just like any standard switch. But if you want remote access and full control, we strongly recommend subscribing to NETGEAR Insight.
With Insight, you can configure, monitor, update firmware, and troubleshoot your network from anywhere using the app or web portal. Subscriptions are available in Premium or Pro tiers based on your needs. Plus, you get a 30-day free trial for Insight Premium and 3 months for Insight Pro
What businesses benefit most from cloud managed switches?
Businesses with limited IT staff, multiple locations, or remote teams benefit most from cloud managed switches. They’re ideal for retail, hospitality, education, and healthcare where simple, remote control saves time and cuts downtime.
