NETGEAR5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Network Switch, Hub, Internet Splitter (GS105Ev2) - Desktop, and ProSAFE Lifetime Protection, Grey

Bought this by accident not realizing it would be useless to me. No free return so it’d have cost too much to do anything else but throw it away.

Speed: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Privacy: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Security: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Availability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Pros:Lots of features to manage the networkSleek DesignQuietAccessed through web portalFairly newCons:Can be faulty in terms of getting it's own IP address and must use the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool (NSDT)SpecificationsThe NETGEAR Network Switch has 8 Port Gigabit Ethernet ports plus software with user friendly interface that offers basic managed capabilities to configure, secure, and monitor the network.It supports desktop or wall mount placement and is energy efficient design compliant with IEEE802.3az. In addition, it's silent operation is ideal for noise sensitive environments. The switch supports VLANs, QOS and more.ManagementSwitch Information:The Switch Information tab supplies all the information related to the network configurations implemented on the switch itself such as Switch Name, MAC Address, IP Address, Gateway address and more.Port Status:The Port Status reveals the status of each port. For example, Port 1, shows the port status being "Up" or "Down", if the speed is set to Auto or half duplex mode? Along with the Link Speed and Flow Control represented in metrics.Loop Detection:Loop detection can be enabled to detect potential loops within the network.MaintenanceThe Maintenance tab allows us to perform general tasks such as Change Password, Device Reboot, and Firmware Updates. In addition, we're able to save and restore configuration files which can be created manually.MonitoringThe Monitoring tab allows us to check each of the Port Statistics such as the Bytes being sent and received.Furthermore, we're able to enable Port Mirroring configuration to duplicate the traffic from one port to another. This is useful if we want to analyse the network traffic on a specific port.Also, there's a Cable Tester which allows us to test each port cable if the test results return "OK", "FAULT", or "No Cable".Lastly, there's a Multicast tab which allows us to enable IGMP Snooping Status, Validate IGMPv3 IP Header, and able to Block Unknown Multicast Address.VLANThere's a VLAN tab which allows us to enable Basic Port-Based VLAN Status. In addition, there's Basic 802.1Q VLAN Status which can be enabled too.QoSQoS when enabled allows us to set either "High", "Medium", "Normal" or "Low" Priority on each port. For example, if Port 1 has been set to "High Priority" then, QoS policy would prioritize traffic so that more important traffic can pass through first, in this case it's Port 1.Furthermore, we're able to set the Rate Limit and enable Broadcast Filtering.SummaryOverall, I believe the NETGEAR 8 Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Network Switch is worth it. At the cost being around £30.00, and the amount of managed switch features we're able to enable, is perfect.The managed switch features allows a user to manage the network from a layer 2 perspective, which increases the security, and flow of traffic throughout the network.
