Rating: Summary: Overall Good Review: bought this D-Link hub about 18 months ago, works excellent. the ethernet port is always being used for my cable modem (ethernet seems to be the best way to connect a cable modem) and i have all 3 usb ports used. the drivers must be installed for the ethernet feature to work right. Works good under windows 98 (first editon) but i had a tough time getting drivers installed without freezing the machine. Now i use Windows 2000 Pro and it works excellent. drivers are easy to install. D-link tech support staff competant with difficult problems, but the hold time can be long. This product works well and would be good in notebook applications.

Rating: Summary: It Would Be Better With A Manual Review: Mine came quickly but when I opened the package there was no manual even though the package indicated there should be one. I e-mailed E-Link giving them the details and the serial number of my unit. Their initial response was that the whole package would have to be returned because they do not have any drivers or manuals available online or to mail.I fired off a strong protest and they e-mailed the missing manual the next day in PDF format (which was fine with me). Interesting approach to say the least! Not that there was that much in the manual but I couldn't tell that without seeing it. I've installed the USB hub portion and it works just fine. It will be a while before I can try out the ethernet portion.
