inexpensive, seamless.......2007-09-14
You can only go so wrong with a cheap, dependable switch. No trouble installing it, no troubles since. Gave me a cheap way of expanding my network without having to buy a bigger ($$$) router.
Works like a charm.......2007-09-07
Took it out of the box. Plugged in the ethernet cables and it was off and running. Didn't even have to read the directions on the box. Nice to have lights on front and cabels coming out the back as it sits on my desk.
Very good!.......2007-07-17
I used this switch to simply add internet conncection to my xbox alongside my PC.I live in a college dorm with only one ethernet wall jack for my use, so I bought this switch and it works just fine. Excellent speed and overall perfomance.
Does all you can ask for.......2007-05-15
Very easily set up, works great, and doesn't slow down your computer at all. Two people can be on the internet at the same time with no lag whatsoever. Great product.

Product Description
KENKO Teleplus Pro 300 converters are made with high quality multicoated optical glass supplied by Hoya corporation, the worlds largest manufacturer of optical glass. This glass will match the optical quality of the prime lens (even at the edges, unlike many teleconverters on the market today). The optical design of the elements and light path is wide enough not to cause any vignetting.They are designed specifically to be use with telephoto lenses of 100mm or above, and work best with telephoto lenses of 200mm to 500mm. The PRO 300's can be used with telephoto zoom lenses as well as prime lenses, but, due to their design, Kenko does not recommend them for lenses that have a zoom range that starts under 50 mm.Kenko PRO 300 converters are intended to be used with expensive telephoto lenses and larger camera bodies. They have all metal lens mounts in both front and rear, as well as a metal core, to support today's heavy professional camera bodies.Kenko PRO 300 AF teleconverter will not auto focus with the following lenses: Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Macro, Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro, Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM, Canon EF 300mm f/4 IS USM. NOT compatible with the new Canon EF-S lenses, 18-55 f/3.5-5.6, 17-85 f/4-5.6, 60 f/2.8 macro
DG Series New DG Series have upgraded "Gated-Array" circuitry to work better with the digital SLR's and some of the the new digital only lenses. They still work the same with film SLR Cameras and lenses as well
Customer Reviews:
Very high quality........2007-08-22
I own both Canon extenders, and bought the Kenko 1.4 extender to see how it would work on lenses that the Canon extenders do not fit. The primary lens was the EF 70-300 DO IS lens. The Canon extenders just don't fit it.
The Kenko fit just fine, and performed very well. It is a very high quality optic, and I have no issues with it at all. Mounted on the 70-300 DO IS lens, it transformed it into a 98-420 mm lens with a max aperture of f/8 at the long end. Mounted on both of my 30D bodies, AF was fully functional at every focal length. That was a bonus that I expected to have to live without, as AF can be spotty at best at f/8.
It works fine, and the captured images are very fine. I like this TC. I also tested it against my Canon 1.4 extender on my EF 70-200 f/2.8 IS L lens, and found little to choose from between the two. They can also be stacked on the 70-200 f/2.8 lens (not all lenses, as the stack will only work if the Canon extender fits to the lens, and the Kenko fits to the body), and the image quality is as good as the Canon 2x extender by itself. You can see many possibilities here....
The Kenko is very well built, but it isn't really cheap. It is on par with the Canon in performance, and fits more Canon lenses than the Canon extender, but only the Canon extenders are weather resistant. They incorporate an O ring that seals to 1D series bodies, and to weatherproof L lenses. If that isn't an issue for you, the Kenko is a great product.
I'll buy another similar Kenlo product without hesitation. By the way, the Kenko and the Tamron extenders are identical except for branding. As best as I can tell, they are both built by Hoya/Kenko, so I went with the Kenko brand. I have handled both though, and they are the same product.
This is an exceptional teleconverter for Canon EOS lenses.......2007-02-12
This is an exceptional tele-converter for Canon EOS lenses. There are a number of tele-converters out there for current Canon SLR's and lenses (Sigma, Tamron and of-course Canon just to name a few). The Canon converters are only compatible with Çanon L series lenses and will only auto focus with apertures of F4 and larger (for 1.4X) and F2.8 and larger (for 2x). The Kenko PRO 300 has the same aperture limitations (unless some of the pins are taped) however it will work with most Canon lenses. This is definitely a quality PRO product. When used with a high quality lens (I use it pretty much exclusively with my EF70-200f4L) the IQ (image quality) is almost indistinguishable from the lens. In addition focus speed seems just as fast as the lens with out the tele-converter (assuming your lens has an F4 aperture or larger). The general consensus seems to be that the Canon converter is slightly sharper on the edges with the Kenko being equal at the center. For those shooting with a 1.6 crop camera the Kenko should be indistinguishable from the Canon for about a $100.00 less. On the plus side (other then price) the Kenko is more compact and can easily fit in you pocket and can be used with far more lenses (again, the Canon converts can only be used with L series lenses). On the down side, if your using L series lenses, is the color. The Kenko is black while most L series lenses are white (as are the Canon tele-converters). What you get with the Kenko PRO 300 is an excellent tele-converter designed for digital cameras. The elements are special coated to reduce reflections from the image sensor back into the lens. I've yet to notice any chromatic aberration or vignetting. The color and sharpness are as good as the lens you're using.
In summery, this an excellent product. Image quality (especially on a 1.6 crop camera) is about as good as it gets. It's electronic circuitry accurately passes all exif data to the camera. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the mount between the lens and converter seems to be a little stiff though it has yet to give me problems. On the other hand the mount from the converter to the camera seems to be quite smooth.

planned obsolescence?.......2006-03-31
Over the last year, we've had increasing connection troubles. I always assumed it was just a temporary glitch with our ISP. After seeing the orange failure light way too much over the last month and especially last couple of weeks, I finally had a tech from our ISP come out to determine what was the problem. He was confident that it was the modem, not the high-speed Internet service. I don't know how he determined this, but he thought there was something wrong with the power supply to the unit. The thing had begun power cycling just if you touched it. Of course, this product failure happened just a heartbeat AFTER the warranty expired. I bought this cable modem back when the reviews were better, around 3 years ago. Maybe 3 years is a long life, but I would expect longer for something that just sits there, with no moving mechanical parts. What an eye opener to come back to this review page and see so many people experience the same troubles.
Caveat Emptor.......2005-05-15
Based on my (and apparently others') experience, I am astounded that Netgear continues to sell this substandard product. I have had the same experiences that several other reviewers have had, both in terms of the poor performance of the CM212 and the ridiculously underqualified technical support in India.
My modem worked fine for the first year or so. But about a week and a half ago, the modem was no longer able to find a signal and about every 15 seconds would go through a "restarting" procedure. I explained this situation to Netgear tech support, but they insisted that it had to be a software issue. I explained that I had a technician from my ISP come out and establish that it was definitely a hardware issue...but the Netgear tech would have none of it (which is pretty amazing considering this seems to be a common issue with this model). After about an hour and a half of holding and persistence, she referred me to their "premium support" line to discuss the issue. The "premium" technician finally agreed that it was a hardware issue and, with a $15 charge to me, shipped me a replacement modem.
I received the replacement modem and enjoyed my internet connection again for a full two days before it began failing in the same fashion as my first modem. After another 30 minutes on the phone with Netgear support, I anxiously await yet another replacement modem. Three times is a charm, right? I'm not holding my breath....
Not as bad as they say here.......2004-12-04
My experience was my CM212 worked flawelessly for more than a year and has just now begun intermittent drops. Read other modem reviews--seems they all do this after a year plus of continuous use. (The RCA I replaced did this too). Tech support expert I know says they're not meant for 24x7x365-they will all burn out.
Since they're all disposable, so by the cheapest name brand and plan on yearly replacement.
Pretty BAD.......2004-08-26
Like others..........wish I had read the reviews on this item before buying. Bought Jan 04......dead Aug 04. $15 to send me a new one after getting through the long help desk procedure. New one lasted a week and a half. Have had the cable folks out three times and it is definately not the cable. Guess I will chalk this up to experience and go down to Fry's tomorrow and buy someone else's C/M that will hopefully work a lot better.
Bad product and bad customer service.......2004-06-23
The product failed after one day of serivce. For the next week it would intermitently connect to the Internet for a few hours and fail again for a few hours until it died completely. I called Customer Service, which seems to be overseas, and their technicians were terrible. In two calls I had conflicting answers and they did not seem to know how to troubleshoot the problem; they kept asking me to ping addresses unrelated to the modem and they kept refering to it as a router. Once they decided that it is defective they asked me to pay for shipping charges to replace my brand new modem which amounted to 25% of the cost of the product. I would never buy a Netgear product again.
