GS305v3 normal working operation
Hi everyone, i have bought a 5 port switch GS305v3 for my home network (mainly for gaming and browsing online), i would like to know wether should I power off the switch when i am not using it, for ex...
that's an unmanaged switch. It doesn't use a whole lot of power from the start.
I've never powered my unmanaged switches off in years (other than power surges/issues) and they're still running great.
You can turn them off if you'd like but you don't have to.
