Netgear GS305
Score: 81/100Rankings
The Netgear GS305 is a compact 5-port Gigabit Ethernet unmanaged switch offering fanless silent operation and energy-efficient performance. It lacks PoE and advanced management features such as VLANs, limiting its use to basic networking needs. Ideal for small home offices or noise-sensitive environments.
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.

Professional sources and Netgear's own marketing stress the GS305's reliability, silent fanless operation, and energy-saving features. Reviewers point out its solid metal construction and wire-speed performance as key strengths for small-office and home use, while noting the lack of PoE and advanced management as expected for an unmanaged device.
Everyday users appear to value the plug-and-play ease, silent operation, and compact metal build, with no major complaints surfacing in the available data. The consensus is that the switch works reliably out of the box for basic networking needs.
