5.0 out of 5 stars You can't go wrong with this, October 13, 2000
By hoagamaniac "hoagamaniac" (College Park, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This is a great little box for connecting a small network without breaking your bank.

The EZXS88W has a great work/size ratio. It's small enough to set on top of a computer case and provides eight ports of full duplex, 10/100 networking.

It has a very informative display to give out info for connection speed, duplex connection and collision. The setup is as simple as plugging in the power and network cables. I have yet to run into any problems with this unit and would recommend it without a second thought.

4.0 out of 5 stars Watch out for size difference, October 1, 2003
By Adrienne E. Dahler "blue97acuracl" (Penfield, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this switch because I trust the brand and also because I thought it would stack well with my Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless router (which I've run out of ports on). However, when I received the EZXS88W, it was smaller than in the technical description given by Amazon (which is actually the size of the box, not the switch itself). Because it is about an inch and a quarter narrower than my Linksys router, it does not sit nicely on top or underneath. I know that it's only a small complaint (otherwise the switch is terrific), but I just wanted to let potential buyers know about the possible size difference, especially if one is buying it specifically because it will interface nicely with a previous Linksys purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best thing for networking, October 7, 2000
By RODNEY D BEEDE (Norman, OK USA) - See all my reviews
If you want to do some fast networking you need to pickup a switcher and not a hub. I've always found Linksys to be really good and way much cheaper. Having a 100mb switcher is nice and a lot faster then a plain hub. Setup is very easy.

The only down point is that the power cable doesn't hold tight enough to the back of the switcher, so any minor shake will reset the switcher. I still give it 5 stars because of the great price and performance.
