Excellent piece of Machinery - Antonin Benak, Aug 21, 2008

This product is great. I used to have to rotate the cables betwen my Xbox 360 and my computer for when I wanted to jump online. Now with this thing, I can play a bit of Halo online, while my brother is on the internet, and neither interupts the other. Better yet, I can hook up two more items to this. It works, and I recommend it for those that need the splitter.

NOTE.. this is NOT a router! - Misty Cahoon, Jul 01, 2008

Well I bought this thinking it was a router which it is NOT.. I had no clue what the difference was so I am making this review so others dont make the same mistake.. You have to have a ROUTER to make this work...

Excellent ,zero-configuration, quiet product - Dana Robinson, Jun 10, 2008

This ethernet switch is excellent. There is zero configuration - you can plug any device into any port with any cable (crossover or regular) and the device will automatically configure itself correctly. If your devices are both full duplex, you'll get 200 Mb/s transfer speed. There's no fan, so it's completely silent.

I could not ask for a better product, especially at this price.

I should also note that I've been using Netgear products at home and work for years and I've never had one die. Their reliability (in my experience, anyway) is much higher than other brands like D-Link.

I own three of these, plus one of the Gigabit version - DigitalMan, Apr 13, 2008

These switches just work and the price cannot be beat. I have alot of networked devices in my house so I have three of these and one of the Gigabit version. They are truly plug and play and couldn't be easier to install and use.
