NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS305) - Desktop, Sturdy Metal Fanless Housing

Pros: Does what it should Small, low power, no noise. Reliable Affordable

Cons: Not managed (but that’s par for this price range and the average non IT net admin) Power cord on five port is shorter than for the eight port. !power wall warts for both 5 and 8 port units are visually identical except for tiny writing, and have same connector! If you use both sizes, be sure to be careful and label as 12v or 5v to avoid potential mistake.

Overall Review: I’ve used these little netgear 5 and 8 port switches since they were hubs and 100 baseT was the new hotness. Never had one fail. Buying more because everything needs net these days and it’s a house full of nerds. I recently got another one of each size. When setting up I noticed how easily someone might mix up the power supplies. The switches themselves are clearly labeled as to their needs, but the wall warts are the same size and shape, and you might need a flashlight and magnifying glass to read their output voltage.

Pros: - easy to setup - can mount on wall

Cons: - totally my fault to not consider that it needed a power cable so keep that in mind that you’ll need a power outlet for this
