Product Description

The Linksys Instant Broadband EtherFast Cable/DSL Router is the perfect option to connect a small group of PCs to a high-speed Broadband Internet connection or to an Ethernet back-bone. Configurable as a DHCP server, the EtherFast Cable/DSL 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. Unlike a typical router which can only share 100Mbps over all its connections, the Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Router is equipped with a blazing 4-port EtherFast Switch, dedicating a breakneck 100Mbps to each and every connected PC.If four PCs are simultaneously accessing a standard shared-band-width router, they will only run at one-quarter the speed of any number of PCs accessing the Instant Broadband Cable/DSL Router. Not only will all of your PCs now be able to enjoy your lightning-quick Broadband Internet connection, they will also be able to share internal network data at ten times the Broadband Internet speed. Add it all together and your small network will move along faster than you ever thought possible.

Amazon.com Product Description
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.

Customer Reviews

Works fine
Easy to set up and connect and it's been working fine. Don't even think about it. No need to, it just does its thing.

worthless pos
After talking to their tech from India it was determinded to be defective and I was told to return it to Amazon.com for a refund,But instead I am going to send it to Linksys in peices very little peices maybe they can recycle it...Tin cans and a string would work better.

Purchase at own risk
Bought one at BB and, at first, it worked well. But two weeks later I had to 'reset' the router meaning unplugging, reattaching wiring, and finally calling my IP for help since my Quickstart help couldn't help cause it couldn't connect to the internet. I learned alot about routers then including resetting this router. Since then its been a continuous battle of resetting retuning and finally rejecting this equipment. On the bright side it didn't cost all that much. I would steer clear of this unless your into frustration and futility.
