4.0 out of 5 stars A near perfect starter kit, June 21, 2000

This review is from: Cisco-Linksys FESWSK5 EtherFast Switched 10/100 Network In a Box (Personal Computers)
I bought this kit to connect two computers (one running Win2k the other running Win 98) and ADSL internet connection.

When I got it, i opened it up, and was surprised to see it came with Descent 3, detailed manuals for easy installation. But no Win2k drivers included, no problem though I went to there web site and downloaded them in seconds. Installing the NIC in the Win2k system was a breeze. The problem came the my Win98 unit but not because it was Win98 but because it had a AMD chip. After fixing that problem (PCI/IRQ Steering with AMD as stated in the NIC manual if you search) Everything went smooth and can be.

I would have given 5 stars it the AMD problem was more than just a foot note in the manual. All and all one great networking kit at a good price that will allow me to add more computer later.

I transfered a 214 meg file in 1:36 (2255.7 kB/Sec Avg 3191.7kB/Sec max)

This review is from: Cisco-Linksys FESWSK5 EtherFast Switched 10/100 Network In a Box (Personal Computers)
After spending several weeks doing my home work I choose Linksys FESWSK5 switched 10/100. I am connecting two computers one with pentium 233 and the 2nd with an Amd k6/450 3d processor. Knowing a litte about computers and how to find the drivers on a cd or a floopy helps.I did not have any trouble with setting up either computer. the AMD computer also has a high speed network card in it as well, I thought that I might have trouble with the cable modem and network card but I did not.I would recommend that you spend the time to do your home work, on the type of network you want, and spend a little extra money for the network switched 10/100 instead of the network hub. I think that even A first time user could get their network up and running if they brought this network in a box.
