FREE 8 PORT SWITCH at NEWEGG

I got in on this deal last time around. Can I also jump in this time? The one from last time just broke a week ago and I wouldn't mind another one to replace it.

I wouldn't waist your time. If it's this crappy even free is a waist of time.

Mine is still working fine. I just now got the rebate from the last one! :disgust:

The switch, it only let traffic go to the computer it intended to while the hub it will let the traffic go everywhere. And with most router you have an option to turn it into a hub.

Maybe your statement just isn't worded well, but the fact that a switch "only let traffic go to the computer it intended to" is a good thing.

I just plugged in one i got quite a while ago under rebate. I've been using it for just a couple of PCs but today i plugged in 6 desktops. I used ports 1-6 and while transfering some 600MB files noticed that the pc using port # 4 was operating at a fraction of the speed of the others. It had a different motherboard with a d-link 10/100 NIC. I moved it's connection to port # 8 and all was well. I guess sometimes some ports come bad.
