TeraStation 5420DN use managed or unmanaged switch?
« on: September 25, 2023, 10:19:37 PM »
I am replacing my Linksys router with a Google wifi router. It has only one switch and I need two, one for the TeraStation and another one for my Kyocera printer.  Should I use a managed or unmanaged switch?

Really shouldn't make any difference if you don't need the advanced features of a managed switch.

I use an unmanaged switch and have had zero problems that are network related. Unmanaged switches are less expensive as well, which is an advantage.
