Digital camera reviews of Netgear EN104TP 4-Port 10 Mbps Ethernet Hub RJ-45 with Uplink Button
Digital camera Review: The best hub for a home network
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this hub to connect the computers in my home so they could share a cable modem. I looked at a lot of 10Base-T hubs, and found this one to be among the least expensive with the best satisfaction ratings. I am especially impressed with the hub's small size and metal case -- other hubs are larger and have plastic cases. To me, the best recommendation for a piece of network hardware is that you never have to think about it, it just works. This hub gives me that in spades.
Digital camera Review: The first one worked so well, I bought another.
Summary: 5 Stars
This litte hub is cheap, small and reliable. I was satisfied with the first one I bought, so I bought another.But, contrary to the description, this hub DOES NOT come with a network cable.

Digital camera Review: This Hub Rocks
Summary: 5 Stars
For this price, you can not expect more: compact size, the easiness to install, and the very clever design making it a perfect home network product. If you've already had NIC installed, you network can be up and running in less than five minutes. It's that simple. Keep in mind that this hub is 10 based, if the speed is important to you, then you should consider the 100 based hubs. If you're trying to connect Windows 9x and Windows 2000, make sure to load the NetBUEI protocol into you Win 2000 machine. In general, NetBUEI is one of the default protocols on Win 9x, but not on Win 2000.
Digital camera Review: Useful like a light bulb. Until it burns out
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
