Cisco-Linksys EFAH05W EtherFast 10/100 5-Port Workgroup Hub

This hub is pretty good. A little on the light side, it might slide on the surface a little, but the hub does a nice job at controling the network. This hub is good for linking home computers to a single ISP (DSL or Cable)it will also let you share a dial up account, but your better off using it for some kind of broadband. On the account of being light weight you can use some kind of sticky mounts (Double Sided,The kind where all you have to do if pull on a tab and the adheasive should come right off with out damaging the surface).

I bought two of these hubs and I have connected them at a distance of about 60 feet apart. I completely upgraded my 6 computer 10 Mbps system to 10/100 in about 1/2 an hour. Also, I upgraded in the middle of the day while the network was running and with little interruption to the workstations or the network. The only trouble I had was my own mistake. I couldn't get two of my computers NIC to run at the faster 100 Mbps speed only to later find that the hubs had automatically sensed that the NIC's were 10 mbps only. They work like a charm and so does my new fast network.

This device was shipped without it's power cord and there are no specifications on the device. I now have to go to the website or google the model ti find what I need and purchase that. Lame as hell. They also put a sticker over the air holes on the top. Not likely going to use this vendor again.

the speed is too slow, even over a 100mb network, due to its broadcast nature. with switch price so low, buy a switch instead of this one.size: 5speed: 2feature: 2easy of use: 3

I'm an engineer at a post production company. We often have visiting production companies in and out, constantly moving and adding PC's and network printers. There is only one jack in each office, so these little hubs come in handy. So far I have had none fail. The only reason I give it four stars is, as the manual states, when you use the uplink port the adjacent port can't be used as they are interconnected. This usually catches people who just come and plug in and then wonder why they can't get on. Other than that, no complaints. A great hub for the money.

Not sure what all the extra padding is for. The case is huge compared to other 5 port 10/100 switches. It works as designed but I wouldnt recommend it over any other 10/100 out there

Got here quick, perfect for exactly what I wanted it for! It's not a full fledged switch, but works well when I'm in a rough spot as an IT field tech!

its a switch not a HUB... 2 totally different things.

simply lovely
