Digital camera reviews of Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port 10/100 Switch (BEFSR41)

Digital camera Review: Not compatible with AT&T DSL
Summary: 1 Stars

I used this for 3 months before upgrading to Windows 7. Don't know if the upgrade had an effect, but the router never worked well after that. I spent about 8 hours with Linksys and they wound up blaming AT&T. Spent more hours with AT&T who were quick to blame Linksys. Dead end here and no guarantee. I wound up buying an AT&T modem/router which installed easily and works fine so far. Beware using this router if you have AT&T DSL.

Summary of Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port 10/100 Switch (BEFSR41)

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.
