Terry at EXHardware takes a look at some Belkin
networking gear. If it's Belkin, it's high quality stuff, but I'll bet it's
damn expensive!
Belkin's switch empoys a very unique design and it atcually looks really
good! I've seen too many hubs/switches designed for home use and they just look
plain ugly. Furthermore, the Belkin design is space saving because it stands
upright and has a very small footprint, perfect for those of us who have cluttered
and messy tables. The switch we're reviewing here today is Belkin's top of the
line 8-port model, if you do not need to hook up so many computers, you can
opt for the cheaper Belkin 5-port switch which is exactly the same except for
the 5 port limit instead of 8. Setting it up is as simple as it can get, just
plug the AC adaptor in, plug the network cables in and you're ready to go.
