Highlights
Quality
I used all netgear compnents and i am pleased with the simplicity of the installation.
Other than that, this is a great product.
I couldn't be happier with the way the hub has performed, and i'm positive you'll get the same results.
Price
The ds-104 is solid, dependable networking at a very reasonable price.

If you're planning on using this hub for high local-traffic networks, i'm sure this would get pretty annoying.

I'm still not as experienced with networking as i would like to be, so i can't offer any advice on whether a switch or a router would be more efficient for your needs.

Although the ds-104 is a fine product, its multiuser performance simply can't compare to a switch (which was built-in to the rt-314 router i replaced it with).
