 Compact, Inexpensive and Effective November 11, 2008
Bought as a replacement for a Linksys switch that had served well for over 5 years. Hopefully, this one will be as reliable.
Just What I Needed! November 2, 2008
With this device I can connect my pc and xbox 360 at the same time. I was able to purchase this for less than $20 dollars. The speed on gaming is better then with my previous device. All-in-all, one of the better investments I've made!
 THIS IS NOT A ROUTER!!!! October 31, 2008

Do not even think you can use this as a router. The description alludes that it can be used as one, but it is not. Waste of money and time.

Great Device October 15, 2008
This Linksys switch is a basic network device that is used in home networks and large companies. It does what it is designed to do, and does it well. There is no configuration, and no set up, just plug and play. I own several of these, and I have never had to touch it after installing it onto my network.
There is a basic switch; there is no port filtering, no protocol filtering, and no interference. Some higher end switches come with those features, but in the end they just end up slowing the network down unless they are higher end. Anyone that requires those features should not consider this switch, or any device in this price range. It will just slow your network down, go with an enterprise solution from HP, Cisco or similar.
For 99% of the home and small business users looking to buy this, I recommend it highly. IT professionals, or network managers I would look at either a gigabit switch, or something more advanced. On larger networks, with 200+ users, if you install ten of these it will increase latency, and decrease the speed of your network. I am an IT manager and these are great for small singular uses, but do not build or manage your networks with these types of devices. You are asking for trouble down the line.
Back to 99% of users, this device is perfect for you. I feel obligated to share my more technical advice for the people in my profession that may purchase this switch.
