Product Description
The Linksys Instant Broadband EtherFast Cable/DSL Router is the perfect option to connect a small group of PCs to a high-speed Broadband Internet connection or to an Ethernet back-bone. Configurable as a DHCP server, the EtherFast Cable/DSL Router acts as the only externally recognized Internet device on your local area network (LAN). The router can also be configured to block internal users' access to the Internet. Unlike a typical router which can only share 100Mbps over all its connections, the Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Router is equipped with a blazing 4-port EtherFast Switch, dedicating a breakneck 100Mbps to each and every connected PC.If four PCs are simultaneously accessing a standard shared-band-width router, they will only run at one-quarter the speed of any number of PCs accessing the Instant Broadband Cable/DSL Router. Not only will all of your PCs now be able to enjoy your lightning-quick Broadband Internet connection, they will also be able to share internal network data at ten times the Broadband Internet speed. Add it all together and your small network will move along faster than you ever thought possible.
Amazon.com Product Description
The Linksys EtherFast cable/DSL router connects multiple PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet connection or to an Ethernet backbone. Configurable as a DHCP server, the EtherFast router acts as the only externally recognized Internet device on your local area network (LAN). The router can also be configured to block internal users' access to the Internet. A typical router relies on a hub or a switch to share its Internet connection, but the Linksys EtherFast router channels this connection through the full-duplex speed of its built-in EtherFast 10/100 four-port switch. This combination of router and switch technology eliminates the need to buy an additional hub or switch and serves your network as a completely dedicated, full-duplex backbone. Now your entire network can enjoy broadband Internet connections supported by its switched backbone. This unit requires an external cable or DSL modem with an Ethernet RJ-45 interface. This product comes with a one-year warranty. Note: All Linksys routers now include a special edition of Norton Internet Security!

 I was pleased with amazon November 16, 2008
I was pleased with my order and how fast I got it I will order more in the futer
 Good, while it worked November 14, 2008
I bought this about 4 months ago. It died yesterday. Suddenly none of the computers on my network cannot see the router. When I try to "re-install" using the CD the comes with the router, I get the same message - router not found. I have swapped out cables and change network cards. No dice! This thing is dead! I give it one star for 4 months of service.
 Lyksys BEFSR41 for home use October 30, 2008
This is my third Linksys BEFSR41 router in 5 years. The first one lasted about 3 years and was fried during a lightening storm from a surge through the phone lines. The second one has lasted about 2 years. I recently purchased a new one as almost every day I would have to unplug the router power supply and plug it back in to establish an internet connection. With this new router, the same thing must be done. I thought there was something wrong with the router. Apparantly, there must be an issue with the modem. Now, I have a back-up router! Overall, the installation was not as easy as I'd hoped for. Many hours have been spent on the phone with Linksys tech support over the years. In the end, they always get me up and running.
Frequent dropped connections October 17, 2008
I bought this router about 1 week ago and followed the instructions exactly from a-to-z. It worked. After running my normal software like uTorrent and Skype I began noticing lots of droppage. Both these software require uninterrupted connections. So the frequent drops made it a pain to work with this router. If you only do regular browsing on the internet, you might not notice many disconnects and think the occasional delays as just net traffic. I read suggestions to upgrade the firmware and went to linksys site to get it. After upgrading it, it refused to work altogether. The power led began blinking and then it was useless. Phone support was helpful and courteous but still couldn't solve my problem and had to return it for refund.
