Have you ever been in public and unintentionally viewed someone else's screen? I have. I often wonder if people realize how much others can see their screen. I have used privacy screens for years. I love when people ask, "what are you looking at?" It let's me know the privacy screen is doing its job successfully.

Cable management is important to me. I do not line for cables to just hang everywhere. These velcro cable ties are perfect.

I already had the 25" monitor which was no longer available. I wanted my monitors to match (my OCD). I opted for the 24" which are identical and it really take a long view to see the difference in size. Clean, clear, and beautiful graphics on this display. I would purchase again if I needed.

Due to COVID-19, I was required to work from home. I added this docking station and I have been impressed. I used it for the additional USB ports and to connect two monitors via HDMI. One slot is 4K but you cannot tell the difference. This product will be on my desk for years to come.

I upgraded to this surge protector and it was an awesome change. Not only does it fulfill my need but it allowed for two USB outlets that does not take away from the 11 outlets. In my book, that's 13 outlets.

This provided me the necessary additional outlets I needed in my bedroom. I like the low emitting blue light that provide you instant knowing that power is present. The two USB connections are added value when you cannot find the brick.

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
