0 hassle. This unit was recommended to me by my favorite MAC guru and works perfectly. I would buy it again. Looks good. It's plug and play. Be aware that it runs very warm to the touch. That's normal from what I hear and read.
The problem port did recognize one of the other RJ-45 jacks on a different cable so, so far so good. The unit works as advertised. Customer service is from India (to be expected) but other than asking 20 non-essential questions before getting to the real issue.they were at least friendly. However, one of the ports did not recognize one of the RJ-45 jacks I plugged in. When I switched that cable to another port it worked fine. They were no help in explaining why the port discriminated between the jacks but were willing to exchange the unit if I wanted to ship it back. The unit has operated well for the past month.
HOWEVER, it suddenly died in the 14th month of operation. Mine worked great for 14 months with my iMac, network and peripherals, then it died. When it worked it was quiet and gave absolutely no problems. A switch should last longer than that. I suggest a D-Link product for longer use.
I've seen several reviews about the old linksys product, about it was very noisy, but the switch that I received was excelent, because it's smaller than the one in the picture and because the functionality of the gigabit transfer is just perfect.I'd ask to amazon and the seller to update the product description in the webpage.
The Linksys EG005W is an excellent Workgroup Switch. Just connect the devices/computers and plug it in. It works great. No hassle, no trouble.(NOTE: The newer version is smaller than the one pictured).
