 Excellent Unit...Great for LAN Parties and Home Networking!, 2001-02-04
This Unit is great. There simply was no configuring. Just plugged it in and everything was set and running! I used this at home to share Internet with 3 computers and it's fast and awesome. I also took this baby to a LAN party and hooked it up to 4 computers and used the uplink to the main hub. A total of 9 computers and half of which are using my Switch. And all the time, this Switch got the job done without any hassles! If you're looking for a descent network sharing device for 5 or less computers, this is it!

 Now this is a great little product., 2001-01-28
I mean this thing is small. I'm a network administrator, but I only have one ethernet port in my office, so I needed a switch (or hub) to allow me to add more than one computer to the network in here. This thing sits on my desk and have a really small footprint. It's awesome. It has all the indicator lights I need/want, and it fast, really fast. I have always been a fan of Linksys products, and this one is no different. If need a hub and can spare a few bucks for a switch, they are faster, and this one is great. And yes, it has an uplink port.

A breeze to install but no cable modem access!, 2001-01-09
I bought this thinking it could work with my ISP service and a cable modem to have multiple computers share Internet access but I was dead wrong. The unit doesn't seem to allow the sharing of a single IP address and that's all my Roadrunner ISP allows for each account. So, if you're in SoCal and are with Roadrunner, I suggest you get a router. Linksys has a decently affordable one--the Linksys BEFSR41 4-Port Etherfast Cable/DSL Router. Check it out. But not to beat this puppy with a shovel, it's not a bad switch. File transfer rates between computers through the switch aren't too bad and it's a cinch to install. Just remember to check all your network settings. Peace out.

 Gamers go elsewhere, otherwise ok, 2000-12-13
I work in IT and had heard decent remarks about this switch. I purchased the switch about a month ago and had no problems with simple SOHO networking, but then some guys from work came over for a Quake 3 and Rainbow 6 LAN party, huge disappointment. We ended up using a hub instead and everything ran fine. You have to leave a message for Linksys tech support to call you back and i have been waiting now for 3 days. I have the 1 port router from Linksys and its great, but the switch is headed back to best buy.
Does what it said it would, 2000-12-08
I got mine as part of a kit (Linksys Switched 10/100 Network in a Box) which included the EZXS55W, 2 ethernet cards, 2 cables, and the manuals and software stuff... It works like a charm on my network under Windows98 - it's actually hard to tell when you're on another computers hard drive - it's that fast! (One thing it's not, however, is a router... It works fine for sharing an internet connection with computers running modems, but you can't share a DSL connection...I recently signed up for a DSL hookup and the phone company guys said I had to replace my Linksys EZXS55W switch with a Linksys BEFSR41 Cable/DSL Router.) If you just want to network some home computers together and share a single internet modem connection though, this unit is well worth the money.
