This monitor is NOT mountable. This is the only downfall for me. Other than that, the clarity and picture quality is awesome. You will not be disappointed.

I purchased 5 for my home. I use them for times of power outages. One day while hosting my podcast, I lost all power. My show ended abruptly. This corrected that from ever happening again. I use it for backup to my ISP and the lights I need.

This NETGEAR Gigabit unmanaged switch helps businesses cost effectively expand their network to Gigabit speeds and high port counts. The GS105 switch comes with 5 Gigabit copper ports in a desktop metal case and is wall-mountable. This switch is energy-efficient, built to last, and rigorously tested to provide the reliability businesses need. 802.1p traffic prioritization and jumbo frame support allow for seamless integration with sophisticated networks.
 

Does this have the same security features as a wifi router if plugged into cable modem? WPA2?

The security is based upon your router, not the switch. This is an unmanaged switch.

Hi, I have one modem (Frontier) connected by LAN lines to three computers. Can I hook this switch up to the modem and then to an external SSD drive so the drive is recognized by all three computers? Thank you, Sleuth

Yes you can
