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.

Reviews & Ratings for EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port Switch We have Comcast business class at two locations: 40 users and 60+ users. We rapidly found out that the comcast modem/firewall cannot handle the load: the Comcast modem needed to be rebooted multiple times a day. After a number of visits by comcast techs, we bought two of the Linksys routers/switches and it fixed the problem entirely at the 40 user site by placing the linksys between the comcast modem and the production network. The linksys still needed to be rebooted every few days at the 60 user site, but it was an improvement. We finally bought a cisco 1811 to fix that problem.

Reviews & Ratings for EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port Switch The Linksys BEFSR41 Router was easy to hookup and setup with included software instructions and drivers. It is not a wireless router but handles my needs as a local multiple computer internet gateway. I would recommend it highly for this purpose.
