Quick and easy setup. I use this hub with my Windows 2000 Server and it works just as it should. Simple installation and startup. You can easily do this yourself. And I haven't had any trouble with this hub. But I'm outgrowing it; perhaps the 8-port hub would have been better for me. Leave room for growth! I never thought I'd have more than 4 clients.

I have successfully used this hub in conjection with a SpeedStream 5660 router to provide an ADSL connection to three computers. But keep in mind that the Netgear EN-104TP 10-Base T-Ethernet Hub 4-Port will get the job done for 26$.
