Summary: Timeouts on remote connections
Review: Longtime Amazon customer but this is the first time I have ever been driven to write a review.This product was a huge disappointment after upgrading from my old Netgear RT314. The problem? It times out my remote connections after about 15 minutes.. So I might be SSH'd into a remote system (work) doing some work.. Step away for a few minutes or get distracted and Bam.. Lost connection. And here I thought I had 'always on' internet. The old Netgear would stay logged in for days. I contacted 3COM customer support (a very lengthy endeavor) and they told me it was 'designed to do that'. A quick search will show a lot of people who have this problem. It will be many years before I buy another 3COM product.

Summary: Solid, but slow and costly
Review: This replaced my RMA-ed Linksys EZXS88W v3 8-port which overheated and died after 3 days of use. Compared to the Linksys: Good: Nice mounting bracket (can use to hold non-3com items)
Smarter (Auto MDI/MDX detection)
Brighter, well-spaced diagnostic LEDs
Metal/Plastic construction seems much more solid than Linksys
Lifetime warranty
Doesn't melt Bad: Larger footprint
only 60Mbit/s (Linksys did 90MBit/s)
costs $20-$30 more Overall, it's a nice switch, but I wonder why its bandwidth is so low.
