Very disappointing
After years of using a 10/100 hub I decided to "upgrade" to a switch. Expecting a good product from Linksys, especially since they were acquired by Cisco, I purchased the SD208 8-port 10/100 switch. I put it on my network and the problems began. Any time I would attempt to transfer large volumes (1GB+) of data between two of my PC's the switch would freeze up on me and I'd have to unplug it and plug it back in to regain network connectivity.I've put old reliable hub back in place...

Reliable Basic Switch
I have deployed several of these switches in a large environment. This series of switch has proven reliable everywhere we have deployed them. For a small, unmanaged switch it seems to be the best choice available. Crossover detect is becoming a more common feature, and is a real time saver. I have also seen this switch overcome cabling deficiencies where other "mini-switchs" have failed.

Nice switch, bad longevity
I had two of these fail in the last week. Both are about a year old. The first one has a couple of ports that stopped working, and the second completely died overnight. They're plugged into UPS's, so power surges didn't cause the problem. I'm really dissapointed!

Simple, Reliable, Cheap
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: I'll say it again... Simple, reliable, and cheap. Plus the metal case looks slick.
Cons: The closest thing to a con is, as others have said, the numbers on the back and front are sequential rather than mirroring each other. So plug in to the far right port and the far left light will come on. No biggie though. Just look at the numbers.
Other Thoughts: I've ...

Linksys 10/100 Switch
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) Flawless operation. Plug and play set up. Maybe someday their gigabit switches will work as well.

Works Great
Does exactly what it's supposed to do. A nice, compact little 10/100 switch with eight ports. Works great.

Works... sometimes...
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Nice, small package. Fits where the old style 5 port switches worked.
Cons: Plug on the side. This switch didnt work consistently, I have RMA'ed mine to see if a new one works better. Computers hooked to the switch would only DL at 568k on cable connection. Transfer from one computer to another would take forever - 10mb file = 1&#...

Comments: I got this switch for a small LAN party, and right out of the box it worked. The metal case is also a nice touch. I love this thing!

Works perfectly
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Does exactly what its supposed to, no configuration needed. I'm using it in a point to point scenario. A bridge provides the uplink and then I have 6 computers and an AP connected to the switch. And this switch was by far the easiest part of the whole setup.
Cons: none. (who looks at link lights anyways...)
