Product Description
Share Your High-Speed Internet Connection Throughout Your Home or Office Think of the EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 8-Port Switch as a kind of splitter for your Internet connection. Just connect your DSL or Cable Modem to the Router, and all the computers in your home or office can share the Internet -- all at the same time. The built-in 8-port switch lets you attach eight local PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to more hubs and switches as your network grows. Once your computers are connected to the Internet through the Router, they can communicate with each other too, sharing resources and files. All your computers can print on a shared printer connected anywhere in the building. And you can share all kinds of files between computers -- music, digital pictures, and other documents. Keep all your digital music on one computer, and listen to it anywhere in the house. Organize all of your digital pictures in one place, to simplify finding the ones you want, and ease backup to CD-R. Play head-to-head computer games within the household, or against Internet opponents. |
Amazon.com Product Description
A simple and inexpensive way to share your one IP address over your entire network, the Linksys EtherFast cable/DSL router connects up to 253 PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet connection or to a Fast Ethernet or Ethernet backbone. Configurable as a DHCP server or client, the EtherFast cable/DSL router acts as the only externally recognized Internet gateway on your local area network (LAN). The router can be configured via SNMP to filter internal users' access to the Internet and serve as an Internet firewall against intruders. The router features advanced functions such as dynamic and static port routing, DMZ hosting, filtering, forwarding, and quality-of-service capabilities. All of these functions can be easily configured through any networked computer's Web browser. The Linksys BEFSR81 router comes with a one-year limited warranty. |

Linksys - Nevermore! by Mark A. Krosse (Westport, CT USA)  1 Stars
November 03, 2009
My second BEFSR81 just crapped out. Probable hardware failure. About 24 months old. Typical of Linksys - no diagnostics. Just several weeks of gradually worsening network drops, freezes, resets, reboots and resulting hairpulling, frustration, disappointment. The only guess from Linksys support "all 8 port LED's blinking is not a good sign .... probably a hardware failure." On top of everything, the Webex hosted chat session with Linksys support kept freezing.
After 15 years of loyalty to the Linksys brand, I am throwing in the towel. This is the third time I have dealt with a Linksys product failure in which there are no diagnostics, no support, no replacement. The user is left to their own wits dealing with the gradual peformance degradation and random network drops and freezes before the product's premature death.

almost awesome by Duane Donders Jr. (Apex, NC, USA)  4 Stars
September 18, 2009
Well, the RV-series from Linksys has spoiled me, and given me higher expectations that I should have for their standard-issue products. This is a quirky little device. Doesn't have much competition in the router world except for it's big brothers, the RV082 and RV016 (which I highly recommend, btw). Anyway, it seems to work wonderfully until I try to change the port for remote administration. I use one in the high range (above 50000), which some TCP/IP guru would probably say is wrong. Anyway, any other router that allows me to put in my own custom port value has worked fine, but changing the RA port on this one makes it not work, has to be reset to defaults and then reprogrammed. Still, if you just leave that alone the rest of the features seem to work fine. At 1/3 the price, it certainly is more affordable than the RV082. The one place I use these is an office building where 5 non-profits all share office space and a tiny communications closet stuffed with wires. This cuts the number of devices in half by combining the router and a big-enough switch into one unit. Also, it's easy on their budgets. The new models come with the nice small power brick that seems to use less power and generate less heat. If you need performance/reliability and can afford it, get the RV082 instead. If you're trying to fit a one-piece solution into a home structured-wiring cabinet, then this is a better choice because of less heat output and smaller footprint.

Linksys BEFSR81  5 Stars
September 10, 2009
Nice to have 8 ports to plug into. I frankly don't see any speed differences between 100 and gigabit, as transfer speeds seem to max out at 10MBs/sec. I tried throwing on Cat 6 cables and didn't see a difference. Oh well, needed the new router as the old when went out.

Died after 6 months by Bruce R. Santhuff 1 Stars
September 09, 2009
I should have read the product reviews before I bought this router. It worked fine for six months then it started to overheat and not work. I unplugged it and let it cool down and that worked for about a week. Eventually it totally stopped working. Linksys refused to refund my money. This will be the last Linksys product I'll ever buy.
