Digital camera reviews of Linksys EZXS55W EtherFast 10/100 5-Port Workgroup Switch

Digital camera Review: Has high failue rate
Summary: 2 Stars

As others have mentioned, these units seem to fail at an exordinary rate. It would seem that Linksys 5-port switches are affected, though there may be others. I've personally seen one completely fail and another three with issues. Of the three, the common theme was high packet loss. I finally replaced the two I owned with a Linksys/Cisco SRW244G4 managed switch. My network performance & stability improved significantly. Plus the 4 gigabit port were an added bonus. Personally, I'd avoid buying any of the consumer-grade switches Linksys sells. Go with Netgear, DLink, etc. If you're looking for a business-grade managed switch, the Linksys/Cisco ones seem well built and trouble-free.

If you already bought one of Linksys's 5-port switches and it currently works fine, keep it cool! Setup a fan if need be. They seems to throw a lot of heat and my guess is there not very tolerant of high temperatures (or moderate ones over long periods).
