Although it's only suitable for fairly small networks, the Netgear DS524 24-port dual-speed stackable hub offers reasonable performance and ease of set-up.
The hub is well-constructed, offering the user a choice of free standing or rack mounting. The network ports come fitted with an LED and are sturdy.
Linking the hub into our network couldn't have been easier. The unit is "plug and play" and everything connected without a hitch.
With data transfer, it seemed perfectly happy running at both the ten and 100mbps settings.
My experiences with Netgear have always been positive and I would say every piece has been more than suitable for its purpose.
