Linksys EtherFast 10/100 Integrated

Jeeeeeeese thats fast...

Advantages: Better than a hub, Well priced
Disadvantages: Only 5 ports, yet another damn power adapter!

thought they were a myth (ok, I am exagerating), especially below £100. I studied the box carefully. 5 ports. 10 / 100 BaseT, small, funky design, and using full duplex, can acheive 200Mbs! The box explained why a switch is different to a hub, and how you could use one. I was sold. This product had met all of my expectations (and more on speed), was LESS than I was prepared to pay, and I was holding it in my hands! I could pay for it, and walk out the store there and then, no mail order, online purchase or anything. I ran home (well, drove) and swapped it out with my 3Com hub. I made sure all of my network cards were set to 100meg, full duplex, and then the test...I copied a huge (650meg cd) from one machine to another... JEEEEEEEESE thats fast! I gues the only think I miss is the lights which tell me my nework load, but this thing is ...

Review of Linksys EtherFast Dual Gigabit with 24-Port 10/100 Switch - switch - 24 ports

I'm still scratching. Hey Watchit.

Advantages: Fast, tiny, attractive, cool, compatible, compliant
Disadvantages: Not enough ports (but then it is a 5 port), a little more expensive than similar units by others

I?ve been scratching my head for hours, wondering what anyone can say about a piece of equipment that simply works, and I have to admit I?m still scratching. Hey ? watchit! I can?t think of anything I have ever owned that is more reliable. It does exactly what it is supposed to, which is to act as a conduit through which a collection of computer network enabled devices will work. The Linksys Etherfast 5 Port Switch has 5 x 10 or 100mbps autosensing RJ45 ports for use in a Category 3 or 5 cabled environment, utilising 10BaseT, or 100BaseTX switched half and/or full duplex, technology in a star network topology. The bus topology, which utilises BNC connectors, is not directly supported. (Note: Cat3 cabling = 10BaseT only.) So if used correctly it is as fast as the technology allows. I cannot think of a single reason why it ...

Review of Linksys EtherFast Dual Gigabit with 24-Port 10/100 Switch - switch - 24 ports

Cable and wireless...

Advantages: Great connectivity and performance
Disadvantages: Configuring

Not only is it a play on words (and a famous telephone company) but now it is a good way to describe a fantastic piece of equipment that no broadband home should be without. the linksys wireless-b broadband router. Yep, you budget networking buddies have supplied you with this great innovation. the ability to share your single broadband cable/dsl connection with up to 4 computers in the vicinity. I say vicinity as this is a wireless ready router. Hang on a minute andy.....what is this router thing. I liken it to mother cooking dinner. Mother is the router in this situation. The broadband connection is like a massive saucepan full of dinner and the children are 4 pc's around your house. Mother takes the dinner and divides it out amongst her 4 children , ensuring they all get some dinner and in equal proportions. That is what ...
