Having had two cheaper versions of this hub from other vendors I decided I needed a more reliable unit.
Should have bought Netgear in the first place really.
The difference is plain to see in better quality of the unit construction and that it just doesn't lock up with heavy loads of streaing data i.e 4k/30fps at a 110mb/s birate or more.
Whist these Netgear units are more exensive they really are worth it in the long run as they do what they say they will do.
