Netgear in general

You all know the problem. Two computers, 1 Internet connection. A basic cable (I started with serial in the old days), would trail over the house. That soon was replaced with a 10/100Mbit 25meter Ethernet (That actually got ruined, someone tripped on the cable and it tore the network cards and cable apart). Fortunately, we threw out the second older computer and did not need a network for a number of years. Along came broadband to the village last winter (2003) and I wanted to use the broadband connection on my new laptop. So the only logical step was wireless.

The DS104 hub is a standard 10MB 4 port network hub. It comes as the basic component of many of the Netgear card/hub packages and will server you well. Currently I've used and worked with 4 of these little beauties over the past 1.5 years and found them all to work perfectly. There have been no Dead On Arrival (DOA) units and each one has operated 100% from day-1 without failure or error.
