Summary: great at the beginning and unreliable at the end
Review: This little hub made by Bay Networks (part of Nortel Networks) proved unreliable after about one and a half month of use. Lately, files won't transfer right and sometimes they won't even transfer. I ended up borrowing my friend's switch to complete the job. Not a good choice!

Summary: works great
Review: This worked out of the box, without any tweeking. It hasn't given me any problems yet.

Summary: Great Hub, Netgear Tech Support could be better.
Review: While I have never really found huge differences in hubs based on the name brand, I have generally been very happy with this Netgear Hub and my new Netgear Router. It is built very solid (which is not true of all hubs) and seems to stand up well to some heavy use. (I'll sometimes have to take it into work and I move it around frequently when I rearrange my office...so it gets more `mileage' than most hubs!) The one weakness I've found with Netgear is the Tech Support. Their web site is not the most user-friendly site and it can be a bit of an effort to find a driver or anything. But it is all there and you can get PDF copies of the manuals and such, so that is helpful. The one time I've had to contact Netgear phone support (related to a wireless network card) it was not impressive at all. But for this hub, you should have no need for Tech Support and it is an excellent hub.
