Switch/Router Recommondation

I just bought the Switch GS108Tv2, but realized, tht this switch is about 10 years old, and just supports TLS 1.0. And I am sure, this switch is not the fastest on the market ;)

 

Is there an actual Switch/Router from NETGEAR? Maybe not older than two years with the same kind of functionality? Just need a fast connector with link aggregation for my Synology and QoS for my Playstation. Fanless preferred. 

 

Any suggestions?

    Where ever you bought the switch, this must be older stock.

     

    Even if we face an old product here - the switch does make about Gigabit wire speed, like any other decent switch. 

     

    And no - it's not a router. 

     

    Wonder what people expect from a switch when it comes to QoS on a small LAN, probably on a slower Internet connection? It wont stop eg. data flowing between a computer and a NAS just in favour of a gaming device...

     

    TLS 1.0 only is disputable - however, on your tiny home network, where is the _real_ risk? You could even use plain http...

     

    What exactly do you need: Switch, router, combo, ...?
