Buffalo USB Powered Mini Ethernet Hub [Buffalo LSW-TX-3EP/C For Quick Lan Parties ]

Not sure about you but I remember those long nights when we used to setup a small network at my place and play Starcraft (Broodwar, yes) till dawn with the high school buds. Those days are far and we were young, but to be honest I’d still do it – and that was exactly what came my mind when I saw Buffalo’s USB powered mini Ethernet hub.

Perfect for building up a quick and simple LAN party with your high placed CEO friends anytime and anywhere, the Buffalo LSW-TX-3EP/C — a tiny, pocketable Ethernet switch that won’t require much networking knowledge to get the things rolling, promises to get the job done. Buffalo LSW-TX-3EP/C features three 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports and draws power from either connecting to your laptop via the built-in USB port or any other 5V DC source.

In Japan, Buffalo’s mini Ethernet hub goes for some $25 and given the fact that it brings higher and more reliable speeds than a wireless network you set up, all you have to worry about is having some cables in your laptop bag.
