Big mistake. However, the internet connection is so unreliable as to be almost worthless.
Judging by the positive reviews, this apparently is not always the case, but BUYER BEWARE. Half the time my computer is using wi-fi without my knowledge, because the ethernet had failed yet again.
I have to reboot the hub literally every time i try to access the internet from either device. Sadly, this is far LESS difficult and frustrating than getting this paperweight to work.
After reading the (admittedly sparse, only 2) entirely positive reviews of this product, I decided to buy it. It was spoken about with relation to gaming systems, and I had hoped to use it for a similar purpose: using one ethernet port for both my computer and Xbox 360.
I have resorted to placing my 360 and computer next to one another (thankfully they were in the same room to begin with) and swapping a single cat5 cable between them as needed.
PS3 and 360 weren't getting good connections through wifi. Works pretty good. Ran this off the router with a cheap 30ft cat6 cable, have the PS3 the 360 hooked up to it, much better connections, no problems yet.
satisfied 100%. For the price its a Bargan. This is a great hub, Since me and my friends play Halo2 a lot we thought it would be fun and do a system link to two tvs. It worked great did not even Slow down once. and i bought mine used.
