Digital camera reviews of Cisco-Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port 10/100 Switch
Digital camera Review: "I'm getting better" "No you're not, you'll be stone cold in a minute"
Summary: 4 Stars
Initial review June 15, 2004:
I've had a BEFSR41 ver 2 for almost two years now and it was working great until I upgraded the firm ware to 1.45.7.
After that it would crash/hang a few times a day.
A major pain in the ###.
However upgrading to the 1.45.11 firmware that was recently released solved my issues and it's been rock solid since. (5 days without a problem)
Update Jan 24 2006:
Well that didn't last too long a few months later the router started it's old tricks again and would need a power cycling a couple of times a day.
Soon the "Diag" light came on for good and it was completely dead.
Decided to go wireless and ended up getting a Netgear WGR614v4 router instead. Absolutely no issues with the Netgear since purchase, I love it.
Summary of Cisco-Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port 10/100 Switch
Think of the EtherFastCable/DSL Router with 4-Port Switch as a kind of splitter for your Internet connection. Just connect your DSL or Cable Modem to the Router, and all the computers in your household can share the Internet -- all at the same time. The built-in 4-port switch lets you attach four local PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to more hubs and switches as your network grows. Once your computers are connected to the Internet through the Router, they can communicate with each other too, sharing resources and files. All your computers can print on a shared printer connected anywhere in the house. And you can share all kinds of files between computers -music, digital pictures, and other documents. Keep all your digital music on one computer, and listen to it anywhere in the house. Organize all of your familys digital pictures in one place, to simplify finding the ones you want, and ease backup to CD-R. Play head-to-head computer games within the household, or against Internet opponents. Utilize extra free space on one computer when anothers hard drive starts to fill up.The Linksys EtherFast cable/DSL router connects multiple PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet connection or to an Ethernet backbone. Configurable as a DHCP server, the EtherFast router acts as the only externally recognized Internet device on your local area network (LAN). The router can also be configured to block internal users' access to the Internet. A typical router relies on a hub or a switch to share its Internet connection, but the Linksys EtherFast router channels this connection through the full-duplex speed of its built-in EtherFast 10/100 four-port switch. This combination of router and switch technology eliminates the need to buy an additional hub or switch and serves your network as a completely dedicated, full-duplex backbone. Now your entire network can enjoy broadband Internet connections supported by its switched backbone. This unit requires an external cable or DSL modem with an Ethernet RJ-45 interface. This product comes with a one-year warranty.
