I bought this for my team's folding farm, following a recommendation earned here in the NCIX forums. It worked good right out of the box, no problems, no delays, no headaches. It does what it's designed to do, and for that reason, I'm a happy customer.

It's a good cheap 8 port router that works with hassle. I already bought 2 and linked them up lol. Buy 2 or 3 and link them up instead of a 24 port box.

This switch is a pretty good deal. It is on the lower end of switches but it still works for a great price. I would recommend this for small home networks only for people on a budget.

Since it costs only 40$ for 8 ports, get this switch for any LAN you are attending... it is pretty fast, cheat and works great out of the box. I organised many little LANS with it, and it always has been to a great use.

Love this, too bad it doesn't go up to 1000mbs, but for the price, you can't complain. Other then that, this product is of good quality overall, Doesn't feel cheap.
