Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not bad little hub.
Review: I have had this hub for about 5months and it still works as smooth as it did when i bought it, have had no troubles at all, and none are showing for the future.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good for a 10Mbps Hub...
Review: I must say that for a simple non-switched 10Mbps Ethernet hub, this one is pretty good. The metal box and small size makes it pretty handy. Unfortunately it's pretty outdated for the things you can buy for a few more bucks. You're probably better spending your money on a Linksys EtherFast 5-port Worgroup Switch, which has a dedicated 100Mbps (or 200Mbps in full-duplex mode) of bandwidth in each port.... But if you're adament about a plain 10Mbps hub, this is a very good way to go.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Solid Performance
Review: I use these little hubs on a daily basis in an education environment, and have never been disappointed by them. Their price, dependability, and warranty make them a no-brainer choice for small networks. My only wish is that they made a 100 megabit version of these guys.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Back-up
Review: I use this hub as a backup when my 100 base switch fails, which appears to be quite often. This hub has saved me on many occassions, and while it is only 10 base, it still works 100% of the time flawlessly. It is very reasonably priced, and is simple to cascade using the uplink (ie you don't have to purchase extra crossover cables, which are more expensive) feature, as well as a standalone network.

There is no software to install, it is literally plug and transfer. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Xbox system link
Review: I was wondering if anyone knew if this hub would work for linking Xbox's together so you can have more than 4 people play at once. I know that I could link 2 with a crossover cable but I want to link 4 together so that I can have a gigantic 16 player Halo match (It's a very popular Xbox game for those who don't know.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nice solution.
Review: In spite of my problems with Netgear's PA-101 Phoneline 10X USB adapter, I gave their Ethernet hub a try. My faith in the company has been restored! My two computer home LAN was up and running as fast as I could plug in the cables. I have been using it for about a month now with no problems whatsoever.

As for the 10Base-T limitation, I doubt we would see a performance gain with 100Base-T. We use the network mainly for print and Internet sharing through a 56K modem. 10Base-T has more than enough bandwidth to handle that amount of information.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Useful like a light bulb. Until it burns out
Review: Like most consumer electronics these hubs eventually fail in a slow painful death. I believe you can expect around 3-5 years of faithful service before these cost-effective hubs give out.

I wept when the first port stopped lighting up, and only three ports remained working (2 useful for my hw, 1 uplink). But my sympathy for a long-lived product went out the window when the thing got extremely hot and then all the lights went out.

:| It made a resounding thud when it hit the insides of my rubbermaid garbage can. The case is metal and extremely durable. I once used two of these as a monitor stand.

The power cube is still functional, and continues to power my home-built electronic hobbies to this day.

Not a bad product but I'd recommend a 100Mbps / 1Gb hub, and for slightly more money you might as well go with a wireless / wired router or WAP.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent, inexpensive home network solution.
Review: My cable modem makes for great, fast internet access... for one computer. But what about downloading updates for my iBook without disconnecting my iMac? This hub has done that with ease. Easy to follow instructions had my home network up and running within ten minutes. Never a problem since.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Little Hub
Review: My internal LAN has grown as my roommates need more connections, I need more connections, LAN parties, etc. This little hub is perfect when I need more jacks.

Netgear makes a great product, and this little guy is a great value.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Value and Performance
Review: Netgear has the market cornered for cheap and reliable performance. I've been using this hub in my apartment for 4 years now without a single hitch.
