Well under sub 1 milliseconds, much closer to low microseconds. You shouldn't notice any difference in latency with this in between your router and PC.

This is my scenario:
If you put not in open air, such as. Shelf with the closed door. You better get metal version for better heat dissipation.

These switches (I can’t find the full specs on their website, but going by similar switches) likely only add a few microseconds to the latency. 1000 microseconds are 1 millisecond.

you are going to the correct direction :-D.
old manage switch is power hunger and generating much heat.
I am still using GS724Tv4, and GS724Tv3.

Funny thing is, the older version of these actually had two lights, one for speed and another for activity. But I guess to cut cost they consolidated to one light.
