5.0 out of 5 stars Best bang for the buck out there, a great buy!, November 15, 2002

By	Robert Brugman (Marquette, MI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In my opinion, Linksys has done it again. I purchaced the EF4124 for my company, after suffering a massive outage due to the master switch freezing up. After recieving the Linksys, I was amazed by how much you get for the money. Everything on this switch is auto-detected. If used with the right NIC, you can get this baby up to 200 MB/sec in full duplex mode. I also love how it will detect cable type, so you can use a crossover cable with it, as well as any variety of networked devices. It will detect them all. The form factor is also nice. It is small enough so it won't be in the way, but it is large enough for people with big fingers, myself included. If you are in the market for a new switch for your office, or to network your home, this switch is the cream of the crop.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality Switch, December 11, 2008

By	Michael Burns (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews

Died today after under 2 years of service. That's pretty terrible for a basic piece of equipment. I have switches from 15 years ago that still work fine.

Had to reset the switch fairly often(every 4 months or so). Drove me nuts making me think our DSl modem or Cisco router was buggy. Would work for a while and then just stop passing traffic.

Buy from someone else.

1.0 out of 5 stars We've stopped buying linksys, January 25, 2008

Amazon Verified Purchase

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.
