SpecPicks Verdict
SpecPicks scored NETGEAR DS108 8 Port 10/100 MBPS Dual Speed Fast Ethernet Hub using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the lan-party gear category. Netgear's lan-party gear lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.
