Linksys (SD2005) SWITCH 5-PORT 10/100/1000MBPS
1 Caution: Bad Switch Design for SD2008 and SD2005
We purchased four SD2008 and two SD2005 units and have experienced packet loss in the range of 80%. The effective rate of the switch is about 20MBS; much lower than a standard 100MB switch and has the added bonus of clogging up the Gigabit network.
Linksys, thank you very much for wasting our time (12+ engineering hours on this product). Simple testing of large file data transfer rates would have detected this issue before this green apple hit the market.
Our units are now on RMA, hopefully the Rev. 1.1 design will solve the problem. Until then you may want to consider the Netgear GS608.
