Unit plug and play but my Windows 10 speeds were slow using speed checks. Downloaded software but would not install properly, one of two utilities was complaining about missing DLL! Tech support worked 30 minutes in Teamviewer. Finally after IP changes and setting default speed settings, switch worked fine. At this time none of the utilities recognize the switch! I will leave it be as switch working fine. This is the second product from Netgear with failed software utilities.

This switch is a special NAS version that Netgear sold only to special customers... like NSA. It has special firmware in it: V5.4.0.3, which cannot be managed using the normal netgear methods. It will not be seen by the DHCP function in your router, and wont be issued an IP address. To use this switchyou should find a windows computer, set its IP address to fixed, 192.168.0.210, and install a copy of Netgear's ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility. You also need to find a copy of the latest firmware for the switch.. I used V1.6 from Netgear's website. You need for the windows computer to have its WIFI turned off, and nothing connected to its ethernet cable. Apply power to the GS105E switch, with no network cables installed, and then connect ONE cable between any port on the switch and the windows computer. Start up ProSAFE, and it should find the switch. Follow the instructions for installing new firmware, and install the V1.6 factory firmware, and your switch will be just like new. If the above instructions seem like a fun wheeze to you, buy this switch. Otherwise I suggest you get the non NAS/OEM version.Read full review

Fast switch... unlike the TPLink 5 port gigabit one that cant quite transfer at gigabit speed.

This is a great switch. It's hard to find 40 degree Celcius (122F) consumer equipment any longer. The web management abilities are decent considering the price.

Great product, but needs to be flashed to consumer firmware if you get an enterprise-version, otherwise all the management features will be locked out/unavailable.
