I guess some of the earlier versions of this switch had heat and noise issues. I bought mine in March 2009 and it's been working flawlessly. No noise at all and the case is barely warm to the touch. Just plug in the power supply and CAT5E cables and away you go! No brainer simple.

This product was noisy and worked for a few days but then failed. I was able to return it no problem. I've replaced it with a D-Link DGS-2208 8-Port 10/100/1000 Desktop Switch and I have to say the difference is amazing. The D-Link doesn't have a fan, so it is completely silent. How can one company make a product that requires 2 fans and another company make the same thing that doesn't require any fans? Also according to other posts there are several "versions" of the same model product. You have no control over what version you get, and the fact that Cisco/Linksys has released at least 3 different versions of this same product means they are aware of the problems. Not the behavior of a quality company.

This thing is junk. A real shame that Cisco came along and ruined a good SOHO company. Runs really really hot, I even used a fan blowing on it but it still died. It also constantly dropped and locked after about 2 mo. of service. I had 2 long runs across my house and I think it is simply not capable of handling anything but short cable runs. Maybe not even that.
