wrote: Hi, it exists a portable network switch with 4 port? Thanks To what extent does it need to be portable? Networks themselves aren't very portable, and switches will typically need either be larger to include an internal PSU, or a separate wall-wart style adapter. Among those, this one is especially small for a gigabit switch, or the second link is for the 10/100MB version: http://www.netgear.com/Products/Swit...hes/GS105.aspx http://www.netgear.com/Products/Swit...hes/FS105.aspx There are generic branded switches which are not much larger but may cost much less, the following is only an example, you would have to find what the generic brand is for such parts local to your geographical location, as the following brand is the seller's "house brand": http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833166006 |

Do you mean the Rosewill brand is owned by NewEgg as in Sears=Kenmore & Costco=Kirkland where they provide the specs & farm it out to various contract manufacturers? Or have they secured a 'gold' channel distributor relationship with Rosewill to get the best margins? Went through the Rosewill site. No direct indication of being a NewEgg subsidiary, but they have offices in Singapore, Taipei & City of Industry, CA. - no indication of which is the HQ. NewEgg has facilities in Whittier, Commerce and Industry - a cluster of burbs east of Los Angeles. If Rosewill HQ is Industry it would favor 'House Brand'. If it's the US sales office, it could have been located to be near their premier channel outlet. ---- Pete Gebel pfgebel(deletethis)@crisperiodcom Have the best day possible - all things considered |

Closer to the former, except no providing of specs, simply cosmetic changes (which may not be changes in other market regions for a manufacturer) for the most part. Rosewill is definitely not targeted or perceived as a high-value brand, there would be little incentive for Newegg to enter into such an exclusive agreement. Various bits and pieces of evidence have existed for awhile, I'll link one and leave more investigative work up to you. http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/...Off0370483.htm |

Rosewill can still be a good value, and in general Newegg's customer service is better than average... it just isn't a premium quality brand like the majors we see so often. |

I buy most of my stuff from NewEgg because they run a reliable service. 'House brand' isn't necessarily a negative term - done correctly it's a definite positive. Most of my appliances are Kenmore ('cept washer/dryer = Maytag), Kirkland is consistently good quality. I'm somewhat concerned though that NewEgg doesn't tout the House Brand status. Raises the specter that Rosewill is deliberately lower echelon quality and they don't want to sully the hard earned NewEgg reputation of excellence. Seems to be an error of judgement. ---- Pete Gebel pfgebel(deletethis)@crisperiodcom Have the best day possible - all things considered |

Well it definitely is lower quality, designed that way to meet the price points it sells under but that too isn't always a negative thing if the product meets it's intended purpose. I do think there should be more mention of the branding situation and connection to Newegg but I can understand why they want to mislead people into seeing it as a separate brand as some do assume a house brand is automatically inferior. |
