Annoying Amazon Switch on this Switch!
Amazon is NOT shipping the pictured item - they are shipping the EG005W-V3, which is not only a totally different form factor - it has fewer features (led indicates connection only).
On the plus side, This one has no fan so is totally quiet - on the minus side, the V3 version is cheaper and that lower price is NOT reflected here!!

Far Too Loud for home use
I was shocked. I have rooms full of electronic equipment. This is louder than all of it combined. The loudest piece of electronic equipment I have ever heard. I can hear it in a closed closed from every room in my house.

linksys Gig switch
Since the beginning of wifi, i have been purchasing linksys products. Now with Cisco's involvement (high end routers, switches, gateways etc), things can only get better.
Out of the box... no adjustments needed.
just the way i like it.
the only minus is the fan incorporated in the chassis is a little loud. as loud as my hp laserjet 5000 when it's cranking.

Has been working 24/7 for the last 6 months
I purchased the EG005W six months ago. Since I installed, it has been working 24/7 flawlessly, hooked to three PCs with gigabit ethernet (two systems with Intel's PRO 1000/MT PCI cards and one with a Realtek 8139 PCI card).
I obtain gigabit links to all three systems using regular Cat "5e" cables (believe me, if you don't need super long cables, cat5e is just good enough, no need for the more expensive cat6), and the speed is only limited to about 400mbps by the 33Mhz PCI BUS, not by...

cost of power
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: Probably works fine.
Cons: The specs say this uses 18 watts. The D-Link DGS-2208 10/100/1000Mbps 8-Port Desktop Green Ethernet Switch uses a maximum of 6 watts. 12 watts extra 24x365 is 105 kilowatts annually. Buying this is like a permanent negative annual rebate of $11-$26 depending on your electric rates.

Acceptable
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Works
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Don't waste your money on preferred handling, this product had a 3 day delivery, and I opted for the $2.99 special handling. Got product 9 days later, this is happening more and more. Last order never went through, had to call Newegg to find out what happened, they canceled orde...

Defective unit & Linksys run around
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Physically looks nice
Cons: Has not worked so far.
Other Thoughts: The unit has not work since day 1. It crashes my computer and places it in a perpetual rebooting cycle. I called Linksys customer support several times. They all agreed the unit needs to be replaced. They instructed me to go to their web site and under the Warrant tab enter my information and get an...

Fast & Reliable
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Great switch for the money. Very fast. You can't go wrong with this.
Cons: Hey NewEgg, how about sending me a NEW switch next time? And not one that's in a slightly USED condition? That would be nice. I've spent a lot of personal and company money with you, and this is the 4th time I've received an item that had cle...

Great deal on ready to go switch
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Plugged in and worked right out of the box. Most time spent was on deciding which of the ports were used on the PCs.
Cons: It does run hot...be careful where you place or stack it.
Other Thoughts: Great price and timely delivery from Newegg.
