But the truth is, these are small, quiet, and sufficient for nearly all home and small business tasks. It has no fan, so unless it ends up with some kind of electrical hum, it's silent. It has non-blocking ports so each port gets the full 1Gbps which is still enough for just about any single device that isn't a NAS or server. Netflix only recommends 25Mbps for 4k streaming, this thing could populate every port to a TV and load up the highest quality streaming on each of them without breaking 5% usage.
I also have seen these TP-link ones operate in offices, on the floor, in a rats nest of cables, covered in dust operating for a decade. So it's basically impossible to kill too.
So i get your point, but 65 bucks is still an amazing deal to set up basic hardwire switching for an entire house or office.

Even with being a tech enthusiastic, I only have half a dozen devices that even support faster than 1 gig, and unless I'm doing a backup to my NAS, no more than a single device is fully saturating my wired bandwidth at once. If you're a wfh video editor or running a dozen cam 4k security system, yes, this is inadequate for your needs. It's not like more capable equipment doesn't exist, it's just not needed by the average person so it costs more.
