NETGEAR Licensing & Support Contracts (50 products)

NETGEAR software licences and hardware support contracts for M-Series switches, Align controllers, access points and security appliances. These are the line items that sit alongside the hardware on a purchase order and are most often left off it.

Support contracts

Per-model support covering the M4250, M4350, M4300 and M4500 switch families, WBE-series WiFi access points and PR-series routers. Contracts are model-specific — a GSM4248PX contract does not cover a GSM4248P — so match the part number on the switch, not the family name. Worth specifying on any switch carrying PoE endpoints that cannot go dark: paging, intercom, life-safety displays, or a room in daily use.

Software licences

AVB and Ethernet Audio/Video licences unlock AV transport features on compatible switches, and the Align Controller premium licence covers the AV management platform. The Exium security licence adds SASE, firewall and XDR services to PR-series routers. A licence is tied to a single switch, so a multi-switch deployment needs one per unit.

Specifying coverage

Match the contract term to the refresh cycle of the system rather than buying a default length, and check whether an AV feature you are relying on needs a licence before the switch ships — retrofitting one after commissioning means a second purchase order and a second visit. Creation Networks tracks renewal dates on supported systems and flags coverage before it lapses. Call 888-230-3661 or email sales@creationnetworks.net.

Frequently Asked Questions — NETGEAR AV Switches

Common questions about NETGEAR's Pro AV switch line for Dante, NDI, and SDVoE deployments.

What makes an "AV Line" switch different from a standard managed switch?

AV Line switches like the M4250 GSM4210PD ship with pre-built profiles for Dante, NDI, and SDVoE, so an integrator can apply a known-good QoS and multicast configuration instead of building one from scratch.

Do NETGEAR AV switches support enough PoE budget for cameras and access points together?

Higher-draw deployments should look at the M4250-26G4F-POE++ Ultra90, which supports PoE++ output up to 90W per port for PTZ cameras and powered displays.

Can a NETGEAR AV switch handle both Dante audio and general office traffic on the same network?

Yes, when VLANs and QoS are configured to separate and prioritize Dante multicast traffic from general data — the pre-configured AV profiles handle most of this automatically.

What's the difference between the M4250 and M4300 series?

The M4250 line targets AV-over-IP access-layer deployments. The M4300/M4350 series are Layer 3 aggregation switches for higher-throughput backbone and distribution roles.

Do you provide NETGEAR network design and configuration for AV projects?

Yes. We provide switch selection, VLAN/QoS configuration for Dante/NDI/SDVoE, and integration into the broader AV network design.
