Netgear ProSafe MS510TX PortsĪt this point, we have covered eight of the ten switch ports and have three different types. Next to those, there are two 5GbE ports which also may be used for different lower-end NAS units or workstations. Then there are two 2.5GbE ports that one can see as potentially needed for newer APs, a lower-end NAS, or workstation.

For your basic networking needs, there are 4x 1GbE ports.
