    The question is what small means for you....

     

    • number of ports?
    • port speed?
    • static or LACP LAG?
    • Configurable or smart management type or cloud managed?
    • PoE support?

    Switches coming into my mind are

     

    • GS305E
    • GS308E
    • GS308T
    • ...

      Thanks Schumaku.

       

      5 ports would be adequate.

      10/100/1000 port speed will work as long as it auto-negotiates.

      LACP LAG preferred.

      Configurable/Smart managed preferred.

      PoE preferred.

       

      Do you know if Netgear has a chart/matrix that compares/shows the capabilities of their switches?
