Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Netgear EN104TP 4-Port 10 Mbps Ethernet Hub RJ-45 with Uplink Button
Customer Review: Great Little Hub
Summary: 4 Stars
First off, I would like to reccommend this to anyone trying to startup a small little network in there home/office.Its Fast enough for all Ive got to do and more.
Two Draw backs, one is, Right out of the package, the AC Port on the back is loose, so if you jiggle it a little bit, it turns off. The Second is that the Ports are in the front, which, in some cases is good, but sitting it on my desk, it is an inconveient spot, when I need to see the lights on the front.
The Lights above the port is a great idea, and for that it makes it worth a little inconvence.
Yours, Matthew
Customer Review: Nice solution.
Summary: 5 Stars
In spite of my problems with Netgear's PA-101 Phoneline 10X USB adapter, I gave their Ethernet hub a try. My faith in the company has been restored! My two computer home LAN was up and running as fast as I could plug in the cables. I have been using it for about a month now with no problems whatsoever.As for the 10Base-T limitation, I doubt we would see a performance gain with 100Base-T. We use the network mainly for print and Internet sharing through a 56K modem. 10Base-T has more than enough bandwidth to handle that amount of information.
Customer Review: Excellent Back-up
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this hub as a backup when my 100 base switch fails, which appears to be quite often. This hub has saved me on many occassions, and while it is only 10 base, it still works 100% of the time flawlessly. It is very reasonably priced, and is simple to cascade using the uplink (ie you don't have to purchase extra crossover cables, which are more expensive) feature, as well as a standalone network. There is no software to install, it is literally plug and transfer. Highly recommended.
Customer Review: Good for a 10Mbps Hub...
Summary: 4 Stars
I must say that for a simple non-switched 10Mbps Ethernet hub, this one is pretty good. The metal box and small size makes it pretty handy. Unfortunately it's pretty outdated for the things you can buy for a few more bucks. You're probably better spending your money on a Linksys EtherFast 5-port Worgroup Switch, which has a dedicated 100Mbps (or 200Mbps in full-duplex mode) of bandwidth in each port.... But if you're adament about a plain 10Mbps hub, this is a very good way to go.Customer 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.
