This review is from: Asante FriendlyNet 8-Port 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Hassle-Free Ethernet Switch (Beige) (Personal Computers)

Asanté is the best. We love their products, just wished they made a 12-port unit in this family. We're in a mixed environment (2 Windoze, 10 Macs, printers and NAS's) and the flow in our units are extremely stable and high-speed. We've done throughput tests and they're pretty much up there at maximum. We have 3 lines in Cat-5e and the rest are Cat-6. The runs are between 3m/12ft and 25m 85ft. We have 4 Asantés and would continue to have more. They truly are hassle-free.

This review is from: Asante FriendlyNet 8-Port 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Hassle-Free Ethernet Switch (Beige) (Personal Computers)

Two of these switches replaced two Linksys switches that continually needed to be re-booted. The two Asante switches worked flawlessly for day one. When I had a question I got outstanding support within less than 5 minutes from someone in the United States who could answer my question. As a result, I just purchased a Asante wireless router.
