I actually went with the GS105Ev2. I didn't need all 8 ports. Setr the rate to 1Mbps and then did speed checks on Wifi and wired and indeed it is limited!!
One more question, I have port 1 connected to the DSL modem and ports 2-4 to the other hubs and devices. Is ingress and egress in reference to port 1? So data from the DSL modem (the internet) in the ingress to port 1 and what it is to the other ports?

Hello AevnsGrandpa,
The ingress and egress are on port 1 and the bandwidth is distributed equally on all active ports. So if you have rate limiting defined on port 1 then that bandwidth will be the divided to ports 2-4.
Let me know if I understood your questions correctly.
Thanks,
