These hubs have a problem!
If you are using just a single hub you probably won't have any problems.
If you plan on daisy-chainging them together, you will run into an issue where the hubs must be reset every week or so. They will initially work but then, without any reason, the link between them will quit working. We had Netgear 200+ hubs and found this problem in nearly all of them.
Netgear support was of no help either. Since there was no way of reproducing the problem, they took the stance that there was no problem!
I have tried to set up this hub with my home cpu and laptop and with no luck so far. I am using windows xp on both cpu's and I am getting frustrated with the whole thing, I am getting sorry I bought this hub, it shouldn't be this much trouble to set up a connection between my computers. I may take it back to the store where I bought it and find something a little easier to set up. If I do not succeed in getting help from the people who manufactured it, it is history.
I hooked this up to my xbox so I could play system link up to 4 xboxs and 4 tvs of course. We played and it was the best time we. I had to get belkin ethernet cat5e cable so it would work right. Everything work fawless and it was a great Hub/Router for the price.
