QNAP QSW-1105-5T network switch Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) Black

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £91.60 ex-VAT, the QNAP QSW-1105-5T is a very sensible “small office / side-of-desk” switch. It’s unmanaged and Gigabit, so you don’t need to get your hands dirty with VLANs, settings, or feature choices—just plug it in and it works. In practice, that makes it ideal for adding a few extra wired ports for PCs, IP phones, a basic NAS, CCTV recorders, or a test bench. QNAP is generally reliable for this kind of no-drama hardware, and five ports at this price is good value if you genuinely need a simple expansion rather than a managed network.

I wouldn’t buy it if you’re expecting anything beyond basic connectivity: no traffic controls, no monitoring, no smart features, and no real room for growth if your environment might need segmentation or troubleshooting visibility later. Also, make sure the “five ports” constraint fits your layout—people often regret it when they realise they needed one more switch or a slightly bigger model. If your goal is straightforward Gigabit uplinks for a handful of devices with zero configuration, this is a tidy buy; if you foresee more complex networking, spend the extra now rather than migrating later.
