Linksys EtherFast EZXS55W 5-Port Ethernet Switch Review Summary

Linksys produces a bewildering array of products for a large cross-section of customers from home users to small/medium sized businesses. One of these is the Etherfast EZXS55W5-Port Ethernet Switch. Most of our reviewers did not find the small 5-port switch very useful, in fact two reviewers complained of a myriad of troubles including failed ports and a faulty power adapter. Still another reviewer found the Etherfast EZXS55W5-Port Ethernet Switch very useful indeed, stating “I am very pleased with my new EZX55W 10/100 Switch. I have noticed an immediate boost in throughput not only over the wired segment of my PAN, but the wireless portion as well.” The signature blue & black switch from Linksys features (5) auto-sensing 10/100 Ethernet ports as well as status lights on the front of the unit.
