Having previously brought hubs to supply my SOHO (Small Office Home Office) with the appropriate network connections, I saw this I thought cool design, great features and a SWITCH!
Once installed my network connections between my computers improved immediately. Watching the orange lights flash as my network sped along at 100MB/s switched.
WIth no need for the supplied software when using Windows 2000 or XP it was easy to to implement.
Wht choose a switch over a hub? Speed, a hub is generally not intelligent and will attempt to speak to any computer attached to it, whereas a switch will learn where the computers are and speed the transfer of information between them.
For anybody new to networks, a few 100Mbs Ethernet Network cards and cables, see amazon for more details, and you will be sharing your Internet connection, files, remote connections, gaming and more....
