Died after 1 year [Posted on 2008-08-23]
Product died after one year. Since it has a lifetime warranty I have requested an RMA return. We will see how the replacement does.
Two of these failed [Posted on 2008-10-02]
I bought two of these Linksys gigbit switches for small networks in two different offices. Each one failed within four months of installation. Diagnosing the first failure, disguised as massive packet losses, caused a couple of days of frustration before the culprit confessed. I don't have time for this nonsense, so am now using a pair of NETGEAR GS608 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch and all is well. They have yellow (slow) and greeen (fast) LEDs to show which port is running on which speed. Much smaller wall wart, too.
Horrible product - Both units failed [Posted on 2008-10-21]
I bought 2 of these units, and in 6 months they both started failing within one month of each other. DO NOT BUY!!!
Make sure you get ONLY a Revision 3.0 switch !!! [Posted on 2008-11-24]
Signifiant changes have occurred over the life of this switch. Version 1 had an internal fan and was quite noisy, albeit cool running. Version 2 & 2.1 eliminated the fan. However capacitor C251, sitting next to an internal heatsink is prone to failure after 6 - 8 months, resulting in dropped packets and link connections. Version 3.0 has solved this problem with a complete re-layout of the printed circuit board (PCB), with a redesign of the power/voltage regulation. The new version, still fanless, runs MUCH cooler than version 2.1.
Didn't last 3 months! [Posted on 2009-01-01]
Worked great for about three months. Then network performance went through the floor. Switch was completely useless about a week later. Sent back to LinkSys for a replacement.
