Score: 60/100Rankings
The Linksys SE3005 is a compact 5-port unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch with a sturdy metal chassis and built-in QoS. It lacks Power over Ethernet and advanced features like VLANs, limiting its use in more complex networks. Ideal for home users or small offices needing simple, reliable connectivity.
The Tenda TEF1005D is a compact 5-port 10/100 Mbps unmanaged switch featuring a fanless metal housing and plug-and-play simplicity. Its limited speed and absence of advanced features like PoE, VLAN, and QoS restrict it to basic networking needs. Ideal for small-business security-camera setups where gigabit performance isn't required.
