    power supply issue

    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.

    Bought this online hoping to get the one that was actually pictured on the website. As it turns out (like many other reviewers said), it was the newer version that has the activity lights and ports on the front. Too bad because it is a nicely/heavily built switch. So if you buy this thinking the one pictured is what you'll get, better prepare yourself for being disappointed.

    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.

    Excelent network switch for a home office. This is an easy to use/connect network switch where it provides 8 extra ports to build your network with your PC, network printer, wifi mesh, NAS, etc. Really good build quality and speed that this is my third one for a different room (media room, network room, and now home office).

    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.
