Linksys WRT 8-Port Gigabit Switch, Works with Linksys WRT1900AC Wi-Fi Router (SE4008)

Great switch. Expensive but beautiful and functional. Well engineered. Goes almost perfectly with my WRT1900AC. My only small and overly picky quam is the lights on the front of the unit are a slightly different hue than the lights on the WRT1900AC. Good job Linksys.

Worked well with my existing Linksys equipment and handles network traffic with speed and ease. After about a year of use, the lights on my display were hard to see which apparently is an issue with this product and the WRT1900AC Wi-Fi Router. This however did not affect the performance of the unit.

Works exactly as one would expect.It branched off my cablemodem's 4-Cat5 1GB ports to give me 7 more 1GB ones. I didn't absolutely need it but it matched my Linksys router so nicely, I just had to have it...and just in case I needed more ports like I occasionally do. The price justified it.

This is probably the best router I have every owned! Setup was straight forward and easy. The web based administrator interface is ver nice and I dare say and improvement over using an IP address to get to the unit. Speed is great. I paired the router with a surfboard broadband modem and my download and upload speeds increased 10 fold. The only real complaint I have with the router is one can't use MAC address filtering with the AES encryption. Its one or the other. I know MAC filtering is easily spoofed but to me its that added layer of protection of thwart those who really aren't that interested in getting in. Overall, I really like this unit.

Works. In contrast to the old 5 port switch witch had 1 input/5 outputs, this switch uses 1 of the outputs as input. So you actually have a 7 port switch. not 8. And since there is a similar problem with the 4 port router, from witch you will lose a port to connect to this switch (3 ports left), the new total number of ports you now will have is 3 + 7 = 10 ports. Not a 4 + 8 as expected. So, if you need more than 10 usable ports you will need 2 such switches, 2 + 7 + 7 = 16 usable ports. I should also mention that they don't include the a 6 inch interconnection cable to connect the units together.

Separately purchased the Linksys AC1900 router and bought this to match. Unfortunately, the router was dropping the internet connection daily and I went back to my older netgear 100Mbps router. While the internet connection to the router was solved, the throughput was noticably slower and we had multiple devices frequently losing their connections. As a result, I've replaced this switch with the older Belkin 1Gbps switch and the connectivity has been restored to proper levels. Disappointing products from Linksys. Both router and switch proved to be not capable of being the backbone of a 1Gbps home network (multiple laptops, mobile devices, streaming video, etc). Both Linksys devices have been or are being returned.

VPN never worked for me.It's behind a modem because that's how routers work, but this router won't let me designate the IP for my modem so I couldn't get it to work. Super annoying.I keep meaning to flash some open source firmware on it but I'm too busy with other projects.

This switch is fantastic! It allows me to keep my network better organized. I connect all my wired devices, including my Access Points, connected to this switch. The switch then connects to the Verizon T1114 router for my outbound traffic. That way, I don't have the router doing all the work, as well as my ability to expand the wireless network my simply connecting new access points to this Switch. The Gigabit connection is great for connecting to my External Drive and Access point, which both have Gigabit Ethernet ports as well. I can think of nothing wrong with this switch at all!
