Just what I needed!

This switch is working just as I expected. I also have their older version which also still works.

Great value - why use a hub

I use two of these in my current network. One is near my "computer desk" and the other behind my entertainment center. The one behind the desk is attached to a WRT54G router (which hooks to the cable modem), printer, two NAS drives, and a 50' cable to the entertainment center. That one is attached to a TiVo, Slingbox and PS3.

Setup was a breeze. Just plug them in and hook up your RJ45s and you're good to go. I was running the TiVo on a 802.11b wireless connection and the Slingbox wired. When I got the PS3 I decided that instead of running wires, I'd just put this switch behind the cabinet. or the price, I couldn't see buying hubs and sharing the 100 Mb with all the devices. This way all the devices get ~100 Mb.

It's small and easy to hide, but looks nice if you want to leave it out. I really like this switch. If you're wired and using 100 Mb, this is a great step up from hubs.

Worked great with MAC

My fourteen year old son used this switch to conect our Mac Pro, HP all in one laser printer and an old Gateway running Linux to an Airport Extreme. It worked great from the first try without any problems.

Couldn't be any easier

Wish everything worked this well. Plug it in and forget about it. Bought one and it worked so well that I didn't hesitate to buy it again when I needed a second one.

One of the few Linksys products we haven't had problems with

In general, stay away from Linksys: look to Netgear now as the best value equipment that lasts and lasts. We purchased one of these before yet another linksys product failed, and so it will be our last Linksys product.

When it fails like the rest of them, I'm sure we'll be disappointed, but because we've already started buying Netgear, at least we'll have already left this formerly great company.
