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!!

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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...

Not The Same Item Viewed I am a little disappointed that the item viewed on this site is NOT the item you recieve. I purchased this item because I like the design, and also the name. I have a linksys cable modem, and a linksys wireless access point of the same design. I purchused this item so that all three devices would be stackable. Well, the item recieved today is the "new" design which does me no good. I am sure the device works fine, but I really needed the old design.

NOT THE ITEM PICTURED I specifically ordered the product because the form factor met my requirements. It is NOT acceptable to substitute a different product without notifying the buyer first.
