Netgear GS105 5 Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch. This compact desktop switch delivers fast 10/100/1000 Mbps connections across five auto-sensing ports with full duplex support. It offers easy plug and play setup plus energy efficient operation for reliable home and office networking.
About Netgear GS105
The Netgear GS105 brings reliable Gigabit connectivity to any small network. This compact switch gives you five ports that automatically adjust to 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps speeds so you can mix old and new devices without hassle. Each port runs full duplex for fast two-way traffic that reaches up to 2000 Mbps and makes file transfers or video streaming feel instant.
Its non-blocking 10 Gbps bandwidth keeps everything moving smoothly even when multiple devices work at once. The store-and-forward design checks data packets to reduce errors while the 128 KB buffer and support for jumbo frames up to 9K handle larger files without slowdowns. You get low latency that helps real-time applications stay responsive.
Energy saving features make the switch smart about power use thanks to IEEE 802.3az compliance that lowers consumption to around 3.5W maximum. The solid metal case stays completely silent with no fan noise and offers wall mounting options for flexible placement. Built-in reliability with a high mean time between failures means you can count on steady performance for years.
Setup takes almost no effort because of the plug-and-play nature and auto MDI/MDIX that works with any cable type. It follows key IEEE standards including 802.3x flow control and basic QoS through 802.1p priority tagging so important traffic gets handled first. This switch fits perfectly for home offices or small setups that need simple fast connections.

Reviews
I love how this switch handles all my home devices at once. Files move super fast between my computer and NAS without any lag. The metal build feels solid and it stays totally quiet on my desk.
Setup took seconds and now my gaming PC and smart TV share the network smoothly. It runs cool even after hours of streaming. I wish it had one more port but it works great overall.
Added this to my small office and everything connects reliably now. Big file transfers finish in no time and power use stays low. The wall mount option saved space on my crowded shelf.
