The switch has worked flawlessly. Unfortunately the switch is larger than the one it replaced and we had to get a deeper wall rack for it, but I would purchase again regardless.
Good web administration faster and easy to setup
The fan is surprisingly loud, even for a rack-mounted device intended for a machine room.However, the deal breaker for me (I'm returning the unit I bought) is that the web management interface does not work with Firefox. In fact, it works ONLY with IE on a PC.Given that many other Linksys products work with Firefox, I was pretty surprised.Linksys needs to have a talk with the clue fairy and cut some new firmware.
I second the comments about the loud fan.However, the deal breaker for me (I'm returning the unit I bought) is that the web management interface does not work with Firefox.

I placed this switch in an isolated central wiring closet that has other network equipment, some with fans and disk drives. There has never been any sound audible outside the wiring closet.This switch sounds like a vacuum cleaner, and is clearly audible and objectionable in every room that abuts the closet.The switch seems to function OK but the noise is so loud that I regret the purchase.Unless you can mount this switch were noise is already very loud, or where noise will not bother anyone, I'd recommend you look elsewhere.
