Easy to install. I replaced a 24 port 3Com product which had a chattering port. This item installed easy and works great. The only thing I would change is the power cord. You need right angle cord to mount the swith in some mount brackets

I purchased two of the EF4124 24-port switches for my small business. Within a week, one switch went bad. If nothing was plugged in port # 1, everyone lost their connection. When I disconnected all the cables and turned it back on, 4 ports still showed to be active. The same thing happend to the second switch about two weeks later. After waiting on hold for an hour, they said someone would call the following day because they were to busy to help me. Not holding my breath
I have used Linksys for many years with very few problems. I will not purchase their products again.

Linksys appears to be riding on their reputation. During the 1990s, their stuff was top notch and we bought nothing but Linksys. Then, they were purchased by Cisco, and their quality appears to have nosedived since then.

We had the exact same experience as another poster, with indicator lights remaining on after the plugs were pulled from the corresponding sockets, and within a day, the whole unit died.

We've stopped buying Cisco/Linksys and found Netgear products to be what Linksys used to be: well made at attractive prices. I'd suggest anyone looking to purchase Linksys products look into Netgear instead.
