I had an older Linksys 8-port router that worked great for a few years, however after the last storm it stopped working. So I replaced it with a new D-Link router which died just a couple of weeks later. ...

Has a very nice look to it. It doesn't take up too much space on my desktop. There's really not much to say about it; it works and that's the most important thing. Rating: - Does what it's supposed to doI got this Netgear switch to hook up other computers, so far only 2. I does the job well.. However you need to hook it through your router, it's got 8 ports which is I believe enough so far for my home network. Good product.Delivery was great either. |
