Thanks, good to know... It appears that every 3 years when I go "shopping" for computer parts, half these companies have come and gone, and I no longer know which one has which reputation... My 10 year-old-hub that I mentioned was from Intel, and it still works. > b.t.w. you mentioned you wanted 1Gbps.

You are right, this sounds like it's exactly what I want, and 230 shekels is actually less than what I thought of spending (heck, I spent 600 shekels on the so-called "router" (I hate this term!) just to get a 1 Gbps one). Unless somebody jumps with "but hey, D-Link is even worse than Edimax!" war-stories, it looks like I'll go ahead and buy this one, and hope it works (if it doesn't, at least I'll have a brick 10 times faster than I have now ;-)).
