This review is from: Netgear DS106 6-Port 10/100 Dual Speed Hub with Uplink ButtonAn earlier review stated "this hub only appears to provide half-duplex support".This is part of the definition of a hub vs a switch, thus the product is not flawed. A switch will provide full duplex and is more appropriate for multiple high bandwidth devices. If you're attempting to decide HUB vs SWITCH, do a google search before you buy.I have been a fan of Netgear products since they were originally under BayNetworks. They make high quality devices, attractive design, and they normally offer long warranties. This product is no different. I've had it serving up a couple of machines now for over a year without incident. It's remained on 24 hours / 365 days and performs nicely.The only downside I've seen with Netgear is their on going support (Firmware upgrades, etc.). Obvisouly that won't be an issue with this device, but something to consider if your also looking at them to provide a router solution. Also, the power adaptors seem to go a little too often.All and all, this is a great hub and wonderful price. I can think of no reason for some who needs a hub to not pick this up....
This review is from: Netgear DS106 6-Port 10/100 Dual Speed Hub with Uplink ButtonIt's a hub, and it does it's job well. Only one weird thing I'm noticing is that it appears to support only half-duplex (instead of full-duplex) on it's ports. But other than that, it works great. Just plug in all your stuff, and off you go. The network traffic indicator lights are great for seeing what's going on and how "strained" your hub is. This is perfect for a small office or home network, but if you are going to be dealing with nonstop traffic/bandwidth, I would probably go with buying a switch instead of a hub....
