Linksys SD205 vs. EZXS55W

[ned911]

I need to add a switch to my network to tie the 2 together (replace hub). I've got a Linksys WAP11 and a BEFSX41 that has never had firmware that enables all the features. Other network runs via an old Ugate 3000.

My question is are switches relatively simple? or will I have more firm ware issues. Only thoughts of staying with Linksys are the stackability and consistant look - keeps the wife off my back.

Is there any real difference in the new SD205 versus the old EZXS55W?

Welcome to AnandTech Network Forum.

Entry Level Switches are totally passive you plug them and they work.

No firmware, No Setup, No Nothing.

Get the cheapest you can find.

Enjoy the Holidays.

Thank you. Is there a switch you would recommend?
