D-link DFE 905 4-Port Ethernet Hub

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...

Pros: Everything Included; 100Mbps Hub; Lifetime Warranty

The following is from my complete review, which is published at http://avault.com/hardware/getreview.asp?review=dfe905. It was published on May 26, 1999, and covers this product in-depth.

NOTE: I no longer publish reviews/articles on that...

Pros: Inexpensive, reliable operation
Cons: Noisy Fan

I purchased this product to quickly connect two PCs in my household in order to share a single connection (Cable Modem) to the internet. The product was very easy to install and setup. The 25' cables were perfect, any shorter and I would have been out...

Pros: Easy, easy, easy. Very fast for the price
Cons: Longer UTP cables would be cool

Taking a look at the DFE 905 kit, it has a few things that some corporate networks don't have... 10/100 bps capability!

With this product, you will be able to send data at 100 bits per second, fast enough to transfer streaming video, or music...

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...

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!

I bought this to use as a home network for two simple reasons... Printer sharing and multiplayer network games. Anyone who is in the market for a cheap and effective way to network two or three of your home computers should go out and buy this right...

Pros: Cheap, Fast, Easy,
Cons: Hub is not auto sensing, dual speed

This network in a box is a great little setup. I have an adsl line at my house and needed a network to connect all the computer to the internet via the DSL line. With no-one on but me the bottle neck to downloading from the internet is my own hard...

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.

Pros: If you can get it to work, maybe great!
Cons: Can't get it to work. Lousy salesman and misrepresentation

My boys and I had some time on our recent vacation days to play around. We wanted to spend some of our time online exploring fun online. America online is a great service and we wanted to share an account there. I stumbled across this product at COMP USA...

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...
