Product Description

Think of the EtherFastCable/DSL Router with 4-Port Switch as a kind of splitter for your Internet connection. Just connect your DSL or Cable Modem to the Router, and all the computers in your household can share the Internet -- all at the same time. The built-in 4-port switch lets you attach four local PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to more hubs and switches as your network grows. Once your computers are connected to the Internet through the Router, they can communicate with each other too, sharing resources and files. All your computers can print on a shared printer connected anywhere in the house. And you can share all kinds of files between computers -music, digital pictures, and other documents. Keep all your digital music on one computer, and listen to it anywhere in the house. Organize all of your familys digital pictures in one place, to simplify finding the ones you want, and ease backup to CD-R. Play head-to-head computer games within the household, or against Internet opponents. Utilize extra free space on one computer when anothers hard drive starts to fill up.

THANK YOU to Jim K "Gadget Guy" from Kansas City, Missouri!

I have a comment on this router; on setting it up for a Mac; on Linksys; and on Jim K the reviewer below.

First of all, I bought this router because I have Macs. I didn't look too closely at the specs because this review said he'd said it up on Mac and it was fast and easy. So I "knew" it would work on a Mac.

We get the router, and the box lists five different Windows OS as minimum requirements--nothing about Mac! The instruction book has pages upon pages upon pages upon PAGES (typical) of instructions for configuring computers and routers for various Windows OS. Not one word about Mac.

So we think we're screwed. But we come back and see the Amazon page here I bought it, and there Jim K says he got a G3 working sharing high-speed with his PC by changing two simple settings. So we decide to try it.

We hook up all the hardware and restart the first Mac (a G4 running OS X). We're surprised to find the cable already is still just working even though it's now hooked to the new router. No settings changing needed. Cool.

Then we sigh and say, better find out what we have to do to the other Mac (a G4 running OS9). I say, before we go too crazy with the CD from Linksys, the software, the useless instructions, and web searches for Mac help on Linksys, why not try what Jim K did? All he says he did was change TC/IP settings to Ehternet and DCHP respectively. Sounds way too simple, but what the heck. Worth a try.

So we go to TCIP and change just those two settings. Re-launch the browser--and it works!!! Hi speed cable through the router! Nothing else had to be done!

We literally plugged both computers into the router, plugged in the router, tutned one computer on and it worked without any settings, and the other required literally two seconds changing two small settings.

So my rating system here is complex.

FIVE STARS for the product, which couldn't possibly have been easier to use. Literal plug and play. Nothing has ever been so smooth and easy to set up.

ZERO STARS for stoooooopid Linksys, which has a product that DOES work with Mac--and does so AMAZINGLY and EaSILY, much more so than Windows which apparently requires pages of instructions for IP-setting setup--but instead of capitalizing on this, they don't even MENTION Mac on their site or the box or the specs or the directions. Not a word. You wouldl ook at it and think it won't work. Someone else might easily have looked at the box, packed it up disappointedly, and sent it back. We almost did. Stupid stupid stupid of them to kiss off an entire market. What would it take to add Mac OS to the box's minimum reqs and put a tiny note in the instruction booklet explaining the 2 sentences worth of intsructions required for Mac operation?

FIVE STARS to Jim for explaining what he did so that we knew what to do and didnt spend half the day experimenting or researching!

Since Linksys is too dumb to mention it in their specs, thereby possibly turning away lots of Mac users who come to this page, let me tell potential buyers that this router DOES work with Mac. And it's a great product. Dumb company, but great product. I didnt give it 5 stars only because of the crappy documentation.

Great possibilities, pitiful documentation, non-existent svc

I have been using the router for over a month now, and have hadtime to get to know it, it's manual, and service people enough to make a comment or two on the unit.
First, let me say that you can't touch it for the price. Whatever shortcomings it has (and there are definitely shortcomings), for [the money]there is nothing that does what it *can* do, or do it as well. If you simply need to split a dsl or cable modem connection between several machines, it's the only game in town at this admission price.
If you don't mind losing the firewall protection, even it's issues with identifying (if you talk on Dalnet, it needs to be configured differently. You can email me on this) can be rectified. Be sure to go to Linksys' home page and download V1.33 or higher firmware, it makes it lots easier.
The documentation is so far below the standard of the unit it "describes" that I could write a book on it's lack of information. For the basic features, it should be three times as in depth. I think Linksys didn't research this market well enough to know that most purchasers of this unit are amateurs to networking, and not Information Systems techs. A little "why and wherefore" explanation would have went a long, long way. And there is no, and I mean that exactly as written "NO" support for any advanced feature. Not in the manual, not at the oddly named "customer service" line. This is ludicrous, these features are the very thing that makes this unit flexible enough to get any real usage from. It is, possibly, the worst manual I have ever seen to come with a unit that was obviously intended to be a powerful tool for the masses.
Email or phone support was pitiful, with one glowing exception. Nicholas Mack with Linksys sales not only got involved in helping me, but stayed involved until we both figured out how to make the router do everything I needed it to do. He sent me advice, firmware updates, and we emailed repeatedly and found solutions to the problems. In return, I reported what each step accomplished on my machine for him to pass along to others. Without Nicholas' intervention, I would have sent the router back long ago. Linksys should give that boy a BIG raise. He is the reason I recommend this unit today.
So, here is the lowdown. The unit is capable beyond it's pricerange, nothing does what it can in this cost area. The manual will help you if the very most basic setup is ok, and you have some idea of how to get around on your machine already. Otherwise, get someone who does. Beyond that, the manual works good for leveling short legs on the kitchen table, that's about it. Customer service will answer direct questions about the unit only (once you get them on the phone) and will not help you with any software (including the microsoft network software it is designed to work with). So if it isn't "where do I plug this cord" you will probably be left frustrated and heading back to the refund line. If you are lucky, you may get one of the few Linksys people who not only know how to make it work, but don't mind telling you.
In short, this is the most amazingly capable, absolutely non-suported device I have ever used.
As a PS- My "setup wizard" disk was not packed with the unit, and a short Cat 5 cable would be a very welcome addition to the package.
