This review is from: Cisco-Linksys EW5HUB Ethernet 5-port Workgroup HubThis hub has been the core of my home network for over a year. Solid performer, works with all sorts of mongrelized 10 base T wiring.

This review is from: Cisco-Linksys EW5HUB Ethernet 5-port Workgroup HubSure, the hub works - I've had it in my home LAN for a year now.
