Score: 81/100
TP-Link TL-SG105S-M2
Score: 72/100Rankings
The TP-Link TL-SG1024S is a 24-port unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch delivering a non-blocking 48 Gbps switching capacity and fanless silent operation. It lacks advanced features such as VLAN, QoS, and PoE, and power draw can reach up to 20 W under load. Ideal for small-to-medium networks that prioritize simple high-speed connectivity.
The TP-Link TL-SG105S-M2 is a compact 5-port unmanaged 2.5 GbE switch offering 25 Gbps total capacity, fanless silent operation and QoS/IGMP features. Its unmanaged nature, lack of PoE and reliance on an external power adapter limit its suitability for more advanced or power-hungry deployments. It is ideal for home users, gamers or small offices needing multi-gigabit connectivity without new cabling.
