Most helpful customer reviews 13 of 13 people found the following review helpful. Buyer beware By R. White I owned this switch for a little over a year. It slowly died taking my LAN with it (slowly). It took me a long time to figure it out since my LAN is fairly complex and contains several switches. However, I had 3ea of the Linksys SR20xx 8-port models die on me much faster. Fortunately, those were much easier to find since they just died completely when they went. So, I am not going to purchase any more of the Linksys SR20xx products. I hope that others are more fortunate, but I have had too many of them fail and am now trying D-Link switches. I used to really like Linksys and their hardware used to work forever (or so it seemed). 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. DO NOT BUY By amazon fan Upgraded from a stable but 10/100 D-Link switch for improved performance. The Linksys switch worked great for 6 months but when I came in to work this morning my network was down. I could not diagnose the problem so my IT guy had to come out and after a couple of hours (at $105/hr) found that 12 or the 16 ports were bad. Amazon WILL NOT HELP after 30 days and sent me to deal with Linksys directly. Unfortunately, only now do I see the bad reviews for this product (too late for me) but hopefully not for you. STAY AWAY. I'm sure Linksys will replace the switch since it's under warranty but I'm know the new one will fail in time as well. Wish I had never upgraded and really wish I had not bought this switch. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Good ... then bad By Savage I purchased the Linksys SR2016 16-port gigabit switch in Feb 2007 and it worked flawlessly through August 2008, when 12 of the 16 ports mysteriously died, taking down my network with it.Others have noted similar problems with this switch - good operation followed by failure - an odd recurring situation for hardware that should be stable for the long term. My past experiences with Linksys products were more favorable than this.I have rated the product 3 stars as an average: Absolutely no problem with set-up or performance for 18 months (5 stars), followed by massive failure (0 stars). This said, I plan to order another SR2016 to replace this one with hopes that my positive experience (of it working well) is not followed by the negative experience of failure I faced with my first purchase of this switch.* * *An addendum: I expected that after 18 months, this switch was out of warranty but called Linksys just to check. Turns out it was under warranty and they are sending me a new replacement .... so customer service gets an A+. The switch should not have failed but the company did stand by its product.

The competition is much more expensive. The down side is that setup is a PITA if you are not a network administrator. Once setup though, the units work great. There is very little latency added (ping time round trip). EnGenius ships with quite nice mounting hardware and POE adapter. You will also need some electricians tape to seal the RJ45 connection (unless you can attach your own RJ45 connector; the supplied gasket ASM isn't large enough to let the RJ45 through) and possibly a null modem DB9 cable assembly if you do like I did, and set the EnGenius in a mode where it won't talk to you anymore. EnGenius is running Linux under the covers, with the null modem cable you can reset to default using a 2nd PC. My application is an interbuilding wireless link, LOS 350M (about 1100'), where it was not practical to run a wire for broadband access. The first units installed were the internal antenna 3220, which are still in production use working reliably in all weather conditions-- rain, snow, fog. Downtime is not an option as the broadband is work related. EnGenius could help themselves a lot by having three or four "standard" setups shown on their web site (BTW, I recommend reading the EnGenius website FAQ). I ended up using the one configuration they listed although that is not ideal for my application-- mostly because I ran out of time to try to get the ideal setup working. In the setup used, the bridge end can't work with a router, only a switch, which is acceptable and certainly better than only 1 PC at the far end [the setup is DSL router, NetGear local AP/router, EnGenius 3220 set up as AP+WDS, EnGenius 3220 set up as bridge, NetGear FS105 switch. The ideal setup would have a router not a switch at the far end to support the 4 PCs there.]. The 3220 is pretty darn sensitive too. I can weakly detect (9DBi antenna) several unprotected APs in the distance through substantial tree interference-- I'm sure the AP owners "think" they are invisible because their laptops can't connect to their AP, well that is not the case and they should use WEP or WPA with SSID suppressed. The 3220 can also detect the head end AP buried inside a house (the NetGear AP/router feeding the 3220 at the head end). In some applications you may not need two 3220s to operate, just one, if the source low cost consumer AP can be placed in a window or other spot that provides a decent signal-- the weaker signal though translates to a higher error rate and slower overall communications (the communications is slower due to retrying when a packet is lost or mangled), there isn't any free lunch! There isn't much competition at at the EnGenius 3220 price point. The units work reliably in all weather conditions and have a nice collection of mounting hardware and POE adapter. The EnGenius 3220 is an excellent solution to linking points if the alternatives are impractical or simply more expensive. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The best choice and very powerful for the price By Ali Alkhalas Hi I worked with this device for long time it's Really attractive performance and features. I live in Saudi Arabia and they are subjected to everything from 30 degrees to 55 °C degrees. Pros and Cons: Pros: 1.Ease of Installation. 2.The units are very watertight and weatherproof. 3.Appearance-wise, the units are architecturally unobtrusive. 4.Impressive range. 5.They are inexpensive, reliable and fast. 6.Power over ethernet capable. 7.Web interface. 8. Mounting hardware included. Cons: 1.Short lifetime. 2.Reset to factory default is too difficult (You need cable (requires RS-232 null modem) and COM port - most laptop has not this legacy connection- and using telnet ) 3. Poor manual. 4. No online forum. Important advice: Do not set the power to the 'Extreme' setting for long periods of

Most helpful customer reviews 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. 2nd one - problems with the first... By Sophtware For the price, I guess this switch is ok. The first one I bought starting have trouble with the port on it. Ports would just go dead and I'd have to switch the cable at that port to another open port. I called support serveral times and spoke with different technicians, but no one could get the switch to work correctly on those dead ports. They were supposed to email me RMA instructions, which I never got. I called multiple times to get the RMA instructions, but each time I called they wanted diag my switch again! Needless to say, I ended up buying a second one, which has been working. I still have never gotten LinkSys to give me an RMA on the first. So it's sitting in its box - big waste of money. The reason I gave this product a 4 star is because it works when it works. My only real gripe was the support. In the future I'll probably be looking somewhere else for a switch. 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent mounting options By Ecclaim First off, I got this product for just $85, which I thought was a steal for a 24 port switch, even if it is only 10/100. Even at $100 it still is a better deal than most 8 port switches. Worked first try, no configuration. But the best part, in my opinion, is the mounting flexibility. It comes with some stick on feet if you just want to set it on a shelf, and it comes with 2 L-shaped brackets for rack mounting, but you can also turn the L brackets 90 degrees so instead of sticking out from the front for rack mounting they stick out with the flat side flush with the bottom. I didn't have a rack, but I turned it on the side and used those two tabs to mount it to the wall. Much easier than trying to use hidden, slotted holes. 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Works Great By Davis Item arrived on time, and in good condition.

Proxim AE 802.3AF 6 PORT DC INJECTOR ( 4306-US )
DETAILS: Active Ethernet eliminates the need for power blisters (ac-to-dc converters) and 110/220 V AC cabling installation. With Active Ethernet, system installers need to run only a single Ethernet cable instead of separate power and data cables to each Access Point base station.The Active Ethernet solution consists of a power injector, typically installed in the wiring closet, that injects the DC power onto the Ethernet cable. The Active Ethernet unit constantly checks the Ethernet cable for a device that can handle PoE. If it does not detect such a device, Active Ethernet switches off power for that port. This power-monitoring capability protects other devices connected to the Ethernet cable with power as well as the input port of the switch in case of an installation error. Product Description Proxim ORiNOCO Active Ethernet - power injector - 15 Watt Device Type: Power injector - external Dimensions (WxDxH): 8.5 in x 13.2 in x 1.7 in Weight: 3.3 lbs Output Voltage: 42 - 52 V Power Provided: 15 Watt Output connector(s): 6 x RJ-45 ALTERNATE ITEM #: 4306-US UPC: 0743199109870

Not "meant to be plugged in all day" By Ask Bjørn Hansen Netgear is supposed to have a 5 year warranty (2 on the power supply). I had one of these for about 18 months. Over the last months it's been increasingly flaky, every week or two it just hangs and needs to be unplugged and started again. It doesn't matter how much it's in use (it's done it when we've been on vacation with minimal network traffic). I called Netgear to get it replaced, but they told me that it's not meant to be plugged in all day, so they won't fix it. Unless you actually unplug all your network equipement when you are not actively using it (I didn't think so), then I highly recommend avoiding Netgear products. 31 of 35 people found the following review helpful. 7 months old paper weight By George W. Carrillo Im with Bjorn, after 2 weeks of use i noticed that i had to unplug the thing after 72hrs of use. Now after 7 months i have 8 dead ports. I have always trusted Netgear, but the last 3 items i have bought from them have failed in less than a year. I don't mind tossing paper cups, i don't expect them to last very long, but swithches and routers, i expect to at least get 3 years out of them. 15 of 18 people found the following review helpful. An economical GB switch By Ernie Gubbels Right from the start, it could not be easier! If you are looking for an economical 16-Port GB switch the GS116 is an excellent choice. Simply plug it in and it works! I have installed the switch down stream from my 4-port cable router. The auto-sensing port configuration works as advertised. No problems intermixing 10,100,1000 devices. Further, the automatic uplink to the router was completely seamless without the need for a turn-over cable. Again, if you are looking for a dumb 16-port GB switch, I highly recommend this one. See all 27 customer reviews...
