5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent 16 port switch
When space and not enough ports is a problem, this is THE solution! Just plug and play, nothing to configure. Put your internet connection into one port and you have 15 for your lan computers. Linksys is awesome, has been running in my office since I bought it without any downtime at all.

1.0 out of 5 stars Runs hot
This switch worked fine for about a year, but it always ran hot, which is probably what killed it. I had two of these and both died.

Hi Tom,
Sorry to hear about your experience! We have very high quality standards for our products and design and engineer our switches to industry standards. Incorrect placement of the switch can cause it to overheat. Information about the correct placement as well as storage temperature and humidity conditions can be found in the Quick Start Guide, which you can find here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/csbus/SD205_SD208_SD216/quick_start/guide/SD205_208_216_QuickStartv1.pdf. We're committed to proactively addressing any issues with our products and encourage you to contact Small Business Support at http://www.cisco.com/go/smallbizhelp for further investigation into your problem. If it can't be resolved, we'll replace the switch if it's within the warranty period.

2.0 out of 5 stars Runs hot, warranty replacement was fast, June 17, 2008

This review is from: Cisco SD216 16-port 10/100 Desktop Switch (Personal Computers)
This unit runs VERY hot, almost too hot to touch. After a few ports went out I called for a warranty replacement and received one that still runs hot. I expect I will have to call about this again in the future.

As prices fall this one may not be worth the cash.

I just had my second one of these die within a year and was surprised to see that another reviewer had exactly the same problem. They definitely do run hot, and they definitely die much too soon!

This review is from: Cisco SD216 16-port 10/100 Desktop Switch (Personal Computers)
This replaced my five port switch for my house. Needed more ports with the exansion of my home system. This was a reasonalbe cost addition. Was very easy to setup. Just plug it in and to the router and then plug all the home extentions into this switch. Pluged in the power and it was up and running.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleased, June 27, 2007

This review is from: Cisco SD216 16-port 10/100 Desktop Switch (Personal Computers)
This switch is very handy for business meetings and since it has 16 ports it has enough capacity to meet everyone's needs. We carry it back and forth between conference rooms so it's nice that it has a compact and sturdy metal case. It's also nice that it has a cut-out for installing a cable lock (although we don't use it). No problems to report so I'd recommend it.
