Netgear GS308
Score: 84/100Rankings
The Netgear GS308 is an 8-port gigabit unmanaged switch with fanless silent operation and strong non-blocking performance. It lacks PoE and VLAN/management features, limiting its use in advanced deployments. Ideal for home or small-office users needing reliable gigabit expansion.
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.
