Summary: Worked for 1 year and then chip burnt up....
Review: I bought this product and hooked it up for a year with 2 computers on it. When, after just over a year, I put for computers on it for LAN gaming, the processor burnt up. Since hubs don't need to do much processing this is pretty poor quality..... Bottom line is if you are going to hook more than 2 computers up to it get a different brand.

Summary: Net. Admin. recommends hub
Review: I work for the Univ. of Illinois as a Net. Admin. and I had design a new computer lab. This hub works great because it is reliable and I have never had any trouble with it. Since there's nothing to configure it was easy to setup. The 10/100 ability allows the ability to adapt when our network upgrades to 100BT in a few months which was great because we didn't need to buy a new hub. I initially thought the hub would get hot but it stayed relatively warm no matter what which is a good sign that the product will last.

Review: I've worked as a computer consultant for may years. I migrated over from 3COM to Intel, and finally to Linksys. Why?I found the 3COM network cards to be difficult to install and configure, both the intel and 3com hub and network cards to be expensive. I've installed over a dozen of these types of Linksys hubs and network cards have always been trouble free and easy installations. I like less work. The 100BaseT connections work great for file transfer between servers and high use computers. The 10BaseT works great for connecting devices like network printers. And, nothing beats a self-starting network printer on a network. Be sure to get linksys network cards too. They are cheap and work perfect, and are easy to install. Note: If you plan to daisy chain many hubs separated by more than ten (10) meters there are issues with configuration that limit speed. This is true of all hubs. For complicated networks, see your local computer consultant.

Summary: Simple to use
Review: We installed a 7 node LAN in our house. 5 PCs plus two HP print servers. My 17 year old daughter did the router and hub installation by just reading the manuals and using her intuition. That is a pretty strong recommendation!
