Just get a normal gigabit switch like TP-Link or D-link. You don't need the complications of PoE or VLAN or QoS and so on unless you know you really need those.

For QoS, this can be done at the router level.

It is overkill to use VLAN at home.

For PoE, you will only need it if you have PoE CCTV devices.

For a typical user, just get a decent brand gigabit switch will do. No need to be managed cause you want it hassle free. I have been using 5 port unmanaged gigabit for my home for almost 10 years now and I have never needed all the complications because I want to keep things simple. Eventhough I have just got upgraded to 500mbps, my WiFi router is still limited to 100mpbs only which is totally enough. No need to be kiasu to go for max speed when most of the time you only use 30mbps.
