Digital camera Review: One problem I've noticed with these
Summary: 3 Stars
One problem that I have had with this model is with the power supply connection on the back. It doesn't seem to be made very well, and if you press too hard on the plug, the power will actually cut off. I had my hub on the floor under the desk, and sometimes my foot would press the back of it up against the wall and the power would go out momentarily.Digital camera Review: Outstanding
Summary: 5 Stars
The Netgear EN104TP is one of the best products that I ever bought. It does just about everything that more expensive 10/100 Ethernet hubs do at a fraction of the cost. If all you're doing is adding additional computers to your network, then the EN104TP is all you need. I use it at my job, which is a company that sells greeting cards wholesale.I decided to get the EN104TP after determining that our Macintosh needed access to the (PC-dominated) network so we could transfer and print TIFF and EPS files of artwork the company intends to sell. Because of a lack of Ethernet outlets in our printing department, I decided the best and cheapest way to do that was by adding an Ethernet hub. At first, I was a little skeptical about getting a 10 Base-T hub, but after finding the EN104TP on sale (...), I decided to take a chance, and it was worth it. It transfers files easily, it facilitates network printing (allowing us to maximize resources) and, for the computers connected to the hub, uninhibited access to the Internet.
Although this product is almost perfect, I encountered a couple of minor flaws. Recently, due to a windstorm that blacked out most of Memphis, we had to move the printing operations to another location. In doing so, I took the EN104TP in the hopes that it would function as a stand-alone Ethernet hub. Although it worked the first day, it didn't seem to function any day after that. Granted, I am not sure if it was the EN104TP's fault or the quirkiness of our computers which uses different Windows OS's (ME and XP). However, we were able to piggyback on the network of the building we were working out of and everything was fine. The other flaw is an obvious one: download speed. I found that files downloaded through the hub took longer to finish than ones downloaded directly from our main 10/100 hub.
In summary, I must say that the EN104TP is a great product and a great value for people who want to expand their network without having to spend a fortune to do it.
Digital camera Review: Solid Performance
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
