Pros: Sends data at 100 bits per second (i.e., music & video), Plug & Play install
Cons: Didn't know what it was before I needed one
When I changed the way I connected to the internet, from a LAN dial-up to a DSL connection, I got to learn a few new words that I had never heard before. I became familiar with D-Link ~ in fact very familiar since I had to take the cover off my computer...

Will easily pay for itself

by hubgearfan , Jul 22 '01
Pros: Easy to set up and excellent value for money!
Cons: The hub is rather noisy

I'm using this hub kit with a 3 home computer workgroup (two Windows 2000 and one Windows 98) – this hub kit immediately paid itself. Using Windows ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) I am able to connect all 3 computers to the Internet at the same...

Perfect for Home Network

Pros: Reliable for gaming, Easy to use, Affordable
Cons: Have to have an open PCI slot in both computers, Messy Cables from computer to hub to computer!

Great Low Cost Networking Solution

by dkoepke49 , May 03 '00
Pros: Low Price, Easy Start Up
Cons: LAN Games Crashed from time to time
When looking for an inexpensive networking solution, look no further. My roommates and I have three computers, but one already had a network card and cable, so this was the perfect package with two additional cards, cables and the hub.

Impossible!

A good value, but not the best

by choicex , Jun 27 '01
Pros: Low cost, all-in-one pack, good quality, good service
Cons: hub is loud due to internal fan - rare in mini-hubs
The D-Link 100megabit cards are a very good value. The two included I have used for over a year, and there have been no problems with them. They interact with other hubs, other cards and the OSs very well. Installation is as basic as can be, with the...
