I have an Airport Extreme and need to connect additional (3-5)
Ethernet-ready peripherals. I’m looking at NetGear hubs but welcome
other recommendations/insights/opinions. Belkin? D-Link?
Thanks,
Todd

I have NetGear here. I have a WiFi-enabled domestic one next to where the internets comes into the house, which routes the LAN via a long CAT5 to the back office. The office router is a more pro style NetGear gigabit ethernet jobby with all the sockets on the front.
Never had a problem with either.

I don’t think there is much between them these days - as long as you get something that will handle as fast as traffic as you can between peripherals.
All of those you mention work fine.

Look for Gigabit Switch rather than a hub it should perform better. they
usually come in 8, 16 or 32 port variants. Netgear should serve you
well. I suggest you specify one without fans because they can be
annoying if you work in a quiet environment.
Don’t forget, you will probably get and need more ethernet connections
in the future, so best to over specify.

Yeah, sorry. The office LAN is driven by a gigabit switch. Install and forget!

I have a couple of TP-Link 5-port gigabit switches (available on
Amazon). Inexpensive but have been completely reliable. Another make
at a similar price is ZyXEL, which seem a bit more sturdy as the cases
are metal.
