Reviews of the Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port Switch

CNET Review
The Good: Web-based configuration; user-friendly manuals.
The Bad: Short warranty; network cables not included; no serial COM port.
The Bottom Line: It's hard to go wrong with the EtherFast router, but if you do, you'll wish you had a longer warranty.
