Add option to disable Energy Efficient Ethernet in firmware
The GS105E v2 (5 port) and GS116E v2 (16 port) switches have the ability to disable Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) in the web interface via:
System > Management > Power Saving Mode, Enable/Disable
This option is missing from the GS108E v3 (8 port) switch.
Can this be addressed in a future firmware update?

Well possible the switch chip might not allow this.
Reality check: What's the point to for disabling 802.3az in the year 2022?

Is there a possibility to have an option for enabling/disabling Energy Efficient in the firmware? (like GS105E)
Dante protocol is not compatible with EEE.
Theoreticaly it is possible, BCM53118 is capable of enabling/disabling EEE.

I have same issue with equipment needing the power saving option turned off.
