I have one and using it for close to a year. Worked well once I got
updated firmware on it. I tried the various features- they work but I
was unimpressed. The one thing it lacks is a way to save or restore your
settings. It occasionally locks up- no web interface, no DHCP, etc. but
switch still works- after several weeks to a few months of operation.
This isn't a big deal and it happens less frequently with later firmware
releases.
FWIW, I use it in a somewhat odd configuration. I ignore the WAN port
and plug one port on the integrated switch (which is otherwise unused,
except when tweaking the configuration with a browser) into my
firewall and have a static route defined on the Linksys that points to
the firewall.
