Linksys SRW2008 status
I finally retired my managed Linksys switch SRW2008. All in all I should never have spend a cent on this switch. Initially I bought it to play around with Vlans on a small managed switch. However it quickly turned out that the administration interface available via Telnet and SSH were very limited. Configuration of Vlans were only possible in the web based interface and only with some specific versions of IE. So I never got around to actually using the Vlans. Lately it's started to loose packets often 7-14% which makes the net almost unusable. I tried upgrading the firmware, but still the same and also countless powercycles didn't help a bit. I used one of my WRT54G boxes to replace it and it works like a charm:)
