5.0 out of 5 stars Looking for LAN? Look no farther., June 8, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Cisco-Linksys EF4116 EtherFast 4116 16-Port 10/100 Ethernet Switch (Personal Computers)

This piece of hardware is perfect for a medium size LAN party. Works incredibly well, and I had no problems setting it up. Rather than trying to hook up numerious hubs to routers and having to troubleshoot the connections and finding that faulty port, just plug directly into this baby. While it does require longer cat-5 cables, just make your own 100ft-ers, its the easiest thing to do. With the 16 port switch, you can plug directly into it, and then also connect your router if needed, and the occassional sattilite hub. Works great and makes those LAN parties a cinch.

It runs, and runs, and runs, and runs. Like the energizer bunny but passing Ethernet packets instead. Great buy for the money.

This review is from: Cisco-Linksys EF4116 EtherFast 4116 16-Port 10/100 Ethernet Switch (Personal Computers)

I was really happy with this product until after 2 years of perfect operation it just decided to no longer pass any traffic through on any port. It gives link lights, and shows connectivity but you cannot ping anything through it. Dead! :( I took good care of it, kept it cool and dry. There was no reason I could find for it to stop working but it did.
