Score: 67/100
Tenda SG108
Score: 72/100Rankings
The Tenda SG108 is an 8-port unmanaged gigabit switch with fanless silent operation and easy plug-and-play setup. It sacrifices advanced features like PoE, VLAN and detailed specs for a lower price. Best suited for home users, dorms and small offices needing basic connectivity.
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.
