Score: 67/100Rankings
The D-Link DGS-105 is a 5-port unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch with fanless metal construction and Smart QoS. It lacks PoE, VLAN and advanced management, and needs an external power adapter. Ideal for home offices or small businesses needing reliable Gigabit connectivity with a lifetime warranty.
The TP-Link LS1005G LiteWave is a tiny 5-port unmanaged Gigabit switch that excels in silent, low-power operation. Its trade-off is the lack of advanced features such as VLAN, QoS, and PoE, making it best for simple home or small-office setups.
