Score: 74/100
TRENDnet 8-Port Switch Black
Score: 63/100Rankings

The D-Link DGS-105 is a compact 5-port unmanaged Gigabit switch housed in a sturdy fanless metal case, offering smart QoS and a lifetime warranty for reliable small-office use. Its limited port count, lack of PoE, EEE and VLAN support, plus the need for an external power adapter, make it less suitable for expanding networks. Best for users who need a simple, durable Gigabit switch with long-term warranty coverage.

The TRENDnet TEG-S82G is an 8-port unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch featuring fanless metal construction and GREENnet technology that cuts power use by up to 70 %. While it delivers reliable 16 Gbps switching capacity, it provides no VLAN, QoS, or PoE capabilities and is limited to eight ports. Best suited for noise-sensitive small offices or home workspaces.
