What can you not say great about Apple products? There are so many features but the one that stands out to me the most is the heat monitor and the location finder. Apple is SPOT ON POINT with these two features. Awesome!

I purchased this as a gift for a college student. I see them use it daily and it provides more than they need. HP always make great products. No issues, battery life is 3-4 hours of consistent usage and 44-48 hours of standby.

I purchased this for a cruise. Then I realized I needed it for business travel. I purchased another and they both provide excellent volume and sound to a hotel room. I use them in my bathroom and I connected one to my Firestick. The sound is next to my ear and it provide discretion when needed.

HP to HP, no issues. I actually purchased this because it matched my computer. LOL! It does what I need for it to do and with ease. About once a month you will need to sync it again. Other than that, no issues.

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

Does this act as the modem ? I have satellite internet and my line coming into home is Ethernet. Do I plug to this then to router ?

No, this will not work for that.
