It was in a sealed package and everything was in there, it is perfect and exactly what I needed, thank you. Thank you so much for the router and for the prompt delivery. Great seller who delivered very fast.
Simple, out of the box use. The Linksys 8 port switch is an excelent product to expand ypur netrwork. No set-up, plug it in to the wall, plug in the cat 5 cables to switch and it takes care of it
Although I only have one computer hooked up at this point, I have had no problems with it over the past month or so. This workgroup switch works GREAT. I would buy this product again.
I hooked my laptops to it and was up and running on the Internet through the switch with the 5 port power adapter both times. The switch itself still will function with my old 5 port power adapter but neither of the new power adapters from Linksys. Got the RMA replacement Power Adapter from Linksys in 5 days. The Power Adapter was dead on arrival. I'll be back if it doesn't.I'm back. I've requested by email a return for exchange or refund to Beach Camera and hope they cover the return postage in either case.
So far I can't blame Beach at all, but Linksys support was less than cooperative the second time I called about the replacement adapter not solving the problem. The Switch OK. Hope it works. No joy. I had an old Adapter for my 5 Port to check it. Linksys 8 Port Switch EZXS88W ver 3.4 arrived fast in new shrink wrapped box from Beach Camera through Amazon.
30 minutes on the phone and Linksys is sending a new Adapter RMA in 3-5 business days. Same problem.
If you're looking for an inexpensive switch, I might suggest buying several of these so you can be sure to get at least one good one, keep another good one as a backup, and return the remainder. Otherwise spend the extra money for a switch made by a company with actual quality control. Mine, on the other hand, thinks there is always something connected to port 4, bringing down the entire network. This should be a fool-proof device, and probably is if you get a good unit. I'll be surprised if this one lasts a year. I bought this to replace a Linksys 5-Port Switch that died after several years of use. I definintely got a bad one, but it's so inexpensive, it's not really worth the expense and inconvenience of returning it to either Linksys or the marketplace seller. Actually connecting something to port 4 solved that problem, but I'm still experiencing intermittant periods of packet loss of about 25% that require multiple restarts of the switch to correct.
