GS605AV replacement

My old GS605AV switch worked great as a simple Home Theater and network switch until yesterday. Now it will not power up. According to the GA605AV installation guide the GS605AV would “optimize audio/video streaming prioritization if it can recognize the pattern … otherwise you can use port based QoS to manually configure priority… .”  Port 5 was highest priority and Port 1 the lowest. Considering getting a GS105 but what would be the best 5-port replacement for this situation?

  • Typo: “GA605AV installation guide” should be “GS605AV installation guide”…

    A GS105 or GS305 should be given a try. There just non mangaged switches and would work well in general Home Theater system. I use a GS316 and GS308s in my HT system.

    50-50 joker: Give a different power supply a try. The crux is that 7.5V DC power supply (with at least 1.0A DC out) are a rare species.
