1 Great Hub. Had no problems setting up or using.
I was given this hub by one of my business associates because his company was upgrading. I tested this hub by connecting it to my current DSL/Cable router thereby increasing my available ports from 4 to 24. No problems at all. It allowed my cable router to act as the DHCP so it acted just like I was actually plugged into the router itself.
BTW, if you want to add a hub to your DSL/Cable network you must have a Gateway/Router to be able to share the internet connection. Connect a cable from the Uplink port on the router to port #1 on the hub and you're all set.
2 great deal on a hub!
The picture is a bit different from the actual product but this hub is actually the Linksys model EF2H24 - EtherFastš 10/100 24-port Auto-Sensing Hub which usually runs for $200-$250 and it works great! I plugged it in and that was it.
This was a great deal!
