The Gigabit 8-Port Workgroup Switch provides non-blocking, wire speed switching for your 10, 100, and 1000 megabit network clients. Drop this switch in place of your current workgroup hub or switch, and you can upgrade your high-requirement workstations to full Gigabit speeds as necessary, while continuing to service other clients at their current speeds. Or build your network from the ground up, with appropriate link speeds for each user's requirements.
A roaring, short-lived beast; big disappointment.

Summary
Let me begin this review by saying that I am loyal Linksys customer. I've been using their products for years now, and all my networking equipment has always been Linksys...until I bought this lousy gigabit switch. The version number is...
Strength
Effortless set-up. Worked great on my simple gigabit set-up.
Weakness
Unjustifiably noisy. Dead in 14 months.
Bottom Line
Avoid version 2 at all costs because of the fan and reliability issues. Version 3 is quieter, but is it reliable?
