I'm an IT professional and sold this product to a big client of mine.
I made the install and the device did not function bad at first, but then came an upgrade of the firmware and of the software utility to manage the SC101T from every single client of the network.
TWO of the PCs had the OS (WIN2K) simply destroyed, with BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) after forced restart. No way at all to repair it.
I contacted Netgear Support (at European level) and they spent three weeks (I suppose doing nothing), then called me and said that the problem was mine and to restore a backup older than the original installation made in June!
I also wrote on Netgear forum (where a lot of people have the same problems also with the SC101 software and with XP pro clients), but my post about terrible support was not published as 'offensive'.
To add bad to bad this product does not support 64 bit OSs and wont never do.
Simply skip it and buy something else and better, if you mind the safety of your precious data.
