Product Description

Share Your High-Speed Internet Connection Throughout Your Home or Office Think of the EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 8-Port Switch as a kind of splitter for your Internet connection. Just connect your DSL or Cable Modem to the Router, and all the computers in your home or office can share the Internet -- all at the same time. The built-in 8-port switch lets you attach eight local PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to more hubs and switches as your network grows. Once your computers are connected to the Internet through the Router, they can communicate with each other too, sharing resources and files. More Details >>

Linksys - Nevermore!
My second BEFSR81 just crapped out. Probable hardware failure. About 24 months old. Typical of Linksys - no diagnostics. More >>

almost awesome
Well, the RV-series from Linksys has spoiled me, and given me higher expectations that I should have for their standard-issue products. This is a quirky little device. More >>

Flakey on Arrival - Returned it
Had one that lasted six years before dying. Got another despite the reviews here. Dropped internet connection every one to five hours. More >>

Piece of garbage
Do NOT buy this router. It continually looses it's connection to the internet. If you take the time to peruse the chat rooms at Linksys you will find that this is a know issue with this unit and there is no solution. More >>
