    Even if you think you only need 5 ports, do yourself a favor and get an 8 port. Thank me later.

    Agree 100%. Spend the $4 more and get the 8 port. You're going to use 3 ports of a 5 port switch right out of the box. Spend the $4 more to get 3 more ports.

    Do these things just die regularly? My TP-Link 8 port died after 3 years, my Netgear GS308 died after 6 months. To be fair its the one device I don't have plugged into a UPS because it sits inside my structured wiring panel, maybe that's on me?

    Yes they do seem to die after a few years. The cheap power supply or an internal cap goes bad. It's not worth repairing. Just replace the unit.

    3 years seems reasonable, but 6 months is a bit short. Is it hot where you keep them?

    I bought 2 TRENDnet switches in mid-2017, an 8 port and a 5 port. Both still going strong almost 6yrs later running 24/7/365.

    Maybe a bit hotter than the rest of the house, it's in a panel in the wall in the laundry room. I have a new one I ordered last week coming. If that doesn't last I'll probably make some changes. Fortunately they are kind of cheap.

    Buy a Netgear "ProSAFE" switch, it has a lifetime warranty on the hardware ... it will cost you more but they are worth the money.
