did not like itI did not liked it!
It is not what I expected!
But despite all stated above it does exactly what described in specification.
If I were to read it I would keep looking for something little different.

This piece is very very tiny and functions perfectly for small networks

Netgear Switch is GreatThis switch is great. Since my house is pre-wired for an ethernet network, within 5 minutes, I had all my rooms in my whole house on the network. Verizon hooked my FIOS internet router in my basement. Merely connected one port of the router to the network wall jack closest to the router which was wired into the Verizon patch panel in my garage. Just had to place the Netgear switch on a shelf in the patch panel, plug it in to the electric outlet, plug in the ethernet connection coming from router and then each of the connections from the living room and the 3 bedrooms. Voila -- all connected to the router and to the internet.

Works as advertised...pretty good product.I have to say I have not used this product very much yet, but so far it does perform fairly well and as advertised.

HOOKING UP: I will tell all of you that I was a little fearfull of hooking it up AFTER I purchased it and started reading reviews on all the trouble people seemed to have had. However, I found that after receiving it and going to the Slingbox web site and following the easy hook up link, it walked me right through it and I had it functioning within 20 minutes. it is very helpful to have your computer, slingbox, cable box or dvd recorder & router all located close together.

WORKING IT: It works pretty well and as advertised. HOWEVER, I have basic cable that connects directly to my tv or my DVD recorder via analog cable connection. I was able to hook up the slingbox through my DVD recorder using a S-video cabel and audio composite connection. BUT...FINDING A COMPATIBLE ONLINE REMOTE IS CHALLENGING. I wasn't aware of how troublesome it seems to be trying to get it to work correctly while online with the online remote because it did not have my model number for my DVD recorder. Therefore, I didn't have the ability to turn on my DVD recorder and changing channels remotely over the internet like you expect to or should be able to. I found the Slingbox ONLINE CHAT to be quickly responsive but not very knowledgable on how I could solve this problem. I thought I needed to buy a new DVD player or DVD recorder that was on their list of compatible players so I could use the online remote and be able to turn my home DVD player/recorder on and off and change the channels remotely over the internet as it should work. However, all the slingbox chat help teck could offer me was a link to a compatibility tool where you plug in various model numbers for various brands to see if they are compatible. I spent hours searching availble players online in my proice range but NOTHING SEEMED to be compatible to be able to use an online remote for it. THANKS TO AN ONLINE HELP SITE MY PROBLEM GOT SOLVED! A man gave me a link, which is to a link on the actual slingbox site, which allows you to PROGRAM YOUR REMOTE TO WORK WITH YOUR SLINGBIOX. Basically, you go to this link and it starts a tutorial which walks you through the process. You need to have your computer, slingbox and remote with you and riught next to each other. You pick and generic remote for your brand. nad then you start a process of training your slingbox to recognixe your remote's buttons. For instance, you select the on/off button on the online remote. It then has you aim your remote at the slingbox's sensor and then when ready click the train button and then you point your remote at the slingbox and press and hold your on/off button and after a few seconds it tells you if it successful learned that button. You then can train all your main buttons like on/off, channel up/down, each number, and any of the other buttons that may be applicable.

RECORDING: This problem was my fault for not doing my die dilligence. I was under the impression that I could use the slingbox to basically turn my laptop into a DVR. Perhaps this is true with other slingbox models, but with the SLINGBOX SOLO I have so far been unable to record programs to my computer as I watch them. I mistakingly thought I would be able to do this. So, be aware of this if u r looking to purchase and hoping to record programs on your computer through your slingbox.

Sorry for the lengthy review and any typos. Hope it makes sense and you find it helpful. Overall, the product is so far working as advertised and seems pretty cool.

Connects all my home theatre gadgetsPerfect little unit and easy to set up. Just plug it in. I've connected a Sony Bravia KDL-52W5100 television, Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray player, and Asus O!Play media player. I didn't have an ethernet outlet near my home theatre system so I used a ASUS WL-330gE Multi- Functional Wireless Access Point (also a simple little gadget). So thanks to this switch (and the wireless access point), my entire home theatre system has wireless connectivity for firmware updates, network access, and Internet content.
