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 example getting to work or sleeping. Is it recommended or not suggested to do so?
The setup is simple that router to switch to my pc and console.
Thanks everyone.

Re: GS305v3 normal working operation
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.

from looking at its spec sheet, it uses 2.15 watts max and 0.31 watts at idle. Not much energy useage
