5 port switch which one?

Hi

I need a small 5port unmanaged switch as my eero mesh only has a 2 ports on each hub.

Im looking at either a Netgear GS305 or a Tp link SG105, are these much the same or would you choose one over the other?

Thanks

try get one with lifetime warranty, both of these will do the same thing really.

Thanks, might just go for the tp link as thats slightly smaller and cheaper.

TP Link will be fine, I use one with my Eero as I was in the same boat as you.

Ah cool, yeah due to my downstairs eeros being on wired backhaul all my devices are on wifi currently, which to fair have been perfectly fine, but it will be nice to have some extra ports to hardwire some of my devices.
