Buyer Reviews :
This is a 'supplementary' switch I'm using to link a couple of *ancient* machines in the attic to the house network. I wanted them to be hooked up, but I didn't think they warranted the expense of a Linksys switch.
And there was Hawking, looking kind of like a poor relation next to the others. It certainly isn't as physically 'attractive' as other hardware, and doesn't carry a 'prestigious' brand name, but the price convinced me I had nothing to lose by giving it a try.
Setup was simple, as with most any simple network switch: unpack, plug in power, plug in network cables. Up and running in about three minutes. No problems so far, and it seems to be as good a performer as its more beautiful and famous cousins. It seems solidly constructed, and each port has its own yellow/green status LED to indicate connection speed.
So, if you're looking for an inexpensive 10/100 switch, and you can convince yourself that 'beauty is only skin deep,' I recommend you give the Hawking a try.
