NETGEAR5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch (GS105NA) - Desktop or Wall Mount, and Limited Lifetime Protection

Second unit in my network and have found the first to work well and easy to install

Note: This does not support Link AggregationStatic link aggregation (port trunking) is supported on models GS116E, JGS516PE,JGS524E, and JGS524PE

Summary: One too many issues with this unit. This switch has several limitations and is not particularly stable. After repetitive headaches, I am replacing a brand new one with another vendor... A more trustworthy one. The will generate me a loss of 400 EUR, but that's the price I am willing to pay to get rid of Netgear.Details: After an extensive evaluation, I have identified key limitations in the device, particularly: - Poor software interface; compared to other vendors, with this model the adm spends (over) twice the time to do anything - OS upgrades are clumsy and require external tools to identify when the software upload has finished. - OS upgrade does not confirm image integrity. You can easily boot up the machine with an corrupt OS and everything will look normal... until it isn't. - SFP handling does not comply with what is advertised or SFP specs itself. For instance, a Netgear SFP BiDi does not work, although it is a genuine Netgear. - No user segmentation; the device has only a password. And the logon page clearly identifies the device - Micro USB port on the front is not for CLI/console access. There is no console access whatsoever. - ... And many other technical issues, making it viable for home use only. No serious company should accept something with such poor quality and high price.On top of the device, the vendor is also a liability.In a nutshell, after a month of short and meaningless replies from Netgear's L2 Support, they simply stopped answering and forcefully closed a support ticket, without my consent nor any real resolution. The company cannot be trusted - their after sales cannot be trusted - and thus I strongly advise you only use it for non-professional needs.

Great equipment. Easy to set up. Majority of our clients use this switch

"I'm extremely satisfied with the NETGEAR 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switch! This managed switch has significantly enhanced my network performance and control.

The desktop or wall mount options provide flexibility in installation, while the gigabit speeds ensure lightning-fast connectivity for all my devices. Setting up and managing the switch is a breeze thanks to its user-friendly interface. Plus, the compact design makes it perfect for any space. If you're in need of a reliable and efficient networking solution, I highly recommend the NETGEAR GS105Ev2!

Great switch/hub to replace my dying Cisco one. Does exactly what it should do and was easy to install and set-up. LED's are bright and easy to see. Would recommend.

I had an older Smart 24 Port Netgear POE and I needed to upgrade for more ports. So I bought their 8 port multi-gig POE switch and then this switch was a great value as it had the 2 x 10gb SFP+ ports to make sure I had full bandwidth to the other switch. Their UI has been pretty much the same for a few years now and it gets the job done. I did not even bother with their Insight App as I am not opening up this switch or any switch to the Internet. The CPU could be a tad fast as this UI is a bit more sluggish than my older Netgear switch, btu it gets the job done. If you are in your switch UI frequently then Ubiquiti may be a better option for single pane of glass, but Netgear switches are just beats and I have had good luck with them.

Definitely the budget option. The PoE works fine as long as you get the higher Watt option. Has basic functionality on options like VLAN so that worked out fine. Great for edge network or if you want 48 port PoE for a small network.
