    This was great when it worked but there was an issue that it would lose power anytime it or the power supply was even just touched. Sometimes it would lose power without even being touched or moved at all.

      Hi, BokaJr,

      Have you tried plugging the switch into a different outlet? Sometimes, it's just a loose power connection causing the issue. Drop us a line at LinksysCares@linksys.com and we can dive deeper into this. Make sure to include your contact information and a link to this post as a reference.

      Regards,

    Solidly built. Seems to work as expected. Runs cool. A very standard design, but having lights on the same side as the cabling makes it harder to see what is going on vs. seeing the mess of cables.

    The nice thing about this switch is that we plugged it in 9 months ago and then forgot about it. That is how switches are supposed to function, and how this one does.

    Nice, small size. It is easy to set up - just plug in the power and plug in the ethernet cables. No configuration necessary. It just works. Twinkle lights indicate power and which ports are connected/in use.

    A tech from the GEEK SQUAD installed a new printer for me. In doing so, he noticed how slow and frustrating my computer was. He suggested replacing my ten-year-old ethernet. He returned a week later for an install. Now my computer can fly thru the speed test.
