\nThe LAN “Collision” LED was lit almost constantly during the WAN-LAN transfer.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Conclusion<\/b>: Pretty speedy, but not near the 7Mbps speed claimed by Linksys.<\/p>\nLimitations<\/h3>\n
Same as for the 4 Port model.<\/p>\n
Summary<\/h3>\n
I’d hate to be one of Linksys’ competitors with low margins on my products because this new so-close-to-$100 price point is going to squeeze the competition even harder!\u00a0 It has the same great features as the 4 port model, and if you have a hub or switch already lying around, you can use it instead of putting it on the shelf.<\/p>\n
The main “fly in the ointment” is the fact that both the 1 and 4 port routers quietly corrupt data for some users (you don’t know it’s happened until you try to use the transferred file!).\u00a0 Although Linksys has helped some users work around this, others have returned the routers in frustration.\u00a0 I don’t think Linksys has found the root cause of the problem yet, so it’s possible that this little guy could cost you some hair follicles, too!<\/p>\n
Still, at just about a hundred bucks for a fast shared connection, full-time NAT firewall, and without the hassle of having one of your computers on all the time, it’s worth a shot.\u00a0 Just check the returns policy of wherever you buy it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
