Bad Product and an even worse Customer Service.......2007-02-26

Bought two of then in a span of 6 months. Both went bad. Spent 3 hours with customer services - approx. 2 hours on hold, and one hour talking to various reps. whose English pronunciations were sad (to say the least). Hopefully, after I send these back they will refund my money. If they replace these two units I suppose the story starts again !!
I wish we have negative points - they would have aced it!

My office purchased this EF4124 switch in June 2006. It was working fine without problem. But recently, our IT people unpluged it for re-routing wires, after they put the wire back, it was not working.

Then we called LinkSys customer service for RMA, but they needed us to talk to the technical support first in order to activate the case ID. Ok, we would do it, but we had waited 30 mins, and no one picked up the phone. Before calling the technical support, we had talked to many different customer service representatives. Just felt like they were taking us around different departments.

We may try to call back later for activating the case ID when we feel happier. Also, we need to fill out the online form with that case ID again.

This switch is good, but you will feel disappointed from the Linksys customer service when it is broken.

Great Switch!.......2006-10-30

Easy to install. I replaced a 24 port 3Com product which had a chattering port. This item installed easy and works great. The only thing I would change is the power cord. You need right angle cord to mount the swith in some mount brackets

Unreliable switch with very poor technical support.......2006-10-27

I purchased two of the EF4124 24-port switches for my small business. Within a week, one switch went bad. If nothing was plugged in port # 1, everyone lost their connection. When I disconnected all the cables and turned it back on, 4 ports still showed to be active. The same thing happend to the second switch about two weeks later. After waiting on hold for an hour, they said someone would call the following day because they were to busy to help me. Not holding my breath
I have used Linksys for many years with very few problems. I will not purchase their products again.

In my opinion, Linksys has done it again. I purchaced the EF4124 for my company, after suffering a massive outage due to the master switch freezing up. After recieving the Linksys, I was amazed by how much you get for the money. Everything on this switch is auto-detected. If used with the right NIC, you can get this baby up to 200 MB/sec in full duplex mode. I also love how it will detect cable type, so you can use a crossover cable with it, as well as any variety of networked devices. It will detect them all. The form factor is also nice. It is small enough so it won't be in the way, but it is large enough for people with big fingers, myself included. If you are in the market for a new switch for your office, or to network your home, this switch is the cream of the crop.
