Pros:
Sturdy, strong box. Metallic casing. Great for my home with a lot of kids playing around and suddenly stepping on the cables, and unplugging (and disconnecting) the connection. Presence of "vistajack" feature, that enables if a cable is alive and connected properly. Ideal for home use, and for kids who wants to enjoy the internet without much hassle on hardware maintenance.
Cons:
A 5-port's ideal, but numerically it should be 4-port, then 6, 8, 10.. By the two's and four's.
Overall:
It cost cheap, and plays fast. A very good product to recommend. Gives you a five year minimum warranty, in case it doesn't work well.
