Review: Smart and reliable switch - I was looking for a switch that was smart and could discern between straight through and cross-over cables without issues since the dopes who wired up my house wired it completely with cross-over cables and not straight through. Luckily this product was smarter than those dolts who wired up my house and was able to send and receive data even though everything was wired up with cross-over cables. This was a true plug and play device, plugging in my fios modem to the uplink port and the rest of my networking equipment to the rest of the ports. I was even able to daisy chain with other smaller 5-port linksys switches with no issues, and the set up has been reliable since day one. Review: Great when it works - The unit is very easy to install, and works right out of the box. Given the prevalence of wireless devices, switches like this are indeed coming down in price, and make for an easy addition to any home or small business network. However... Within 5 months of my purchase, the uplink port (#16) stopped working. After much troubleshooting with their technical support unit, I was issued an RMA without any argument. Somehow the RMA was enter twice and I was sent a second unit as well. This took some time to convince customer support that they had screwed up, and I wasn't paying return shipping for the 2nd unit. All was cleared up eventually, and the replacement began working immediately. About three months later, the same port died, and once again I had to go through the horrors of their support staff. After three hours on the phone with their technical support staff, customer service, and two supervisors, I eventually got another RMA. I am currently awaiting the third replacement now. It's worth noting that they attempted to blame the cause of the outage on a faulty router attached to port 16. That is until I informed them that the router was a Linksys WRT54GL, that has been working flawlessly since its installation. Replacing the switch was cheaper than replacing the router. It's a 5-star switch when it works. But my expectations for its longevity are very slim. EDIT: I received the third replacement unit today, and as I feared it has the same defect. Of course, Linksys will not refund any money at this point so I can purchase a working unit. Looks like I'm just going to be put out for the replacement cost of a functional switch. This is most certainly the last Linksys/Cisco product I'll buy. ## Features - Device Type - Switch - Ports Qty - 16 Ports - Data Transfer Rate - 10/100 Mbps - Compliant Standards - 802.3, 802.3u ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00005854F | | Best Sellers Rank | #6,066 in Computer Networking Switches | | Brand | Linksys | | Color | One Color | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars (66) | | Data Transfer Rate | 100 Megabytes Per Second | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00745883549863 | | Interface | RJ45 | | Item Weight | 480 Grams | | Manufacturer | Linksys | | Mfr Part Number | EZXS16W | | Model Number | EZXS16W | | Number of Ports | 16 | | Switch Type | Managed | | UPC | 172302747706 163120806737 745883549863 132018278901 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Yes 1 yearyears parts and1 yearyears labor | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Linksys - **Color:** One Color - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Item Weight:** 480 Grams - **Number of Ports:** 16 ## Images ![Linksys EZXS16W EtherFast 10/100 16-Port Workgroup Switch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51BknZtHkML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smart and reliable switch *by L***9 on May 3, 2010* I was looking for a switch that was smart and could discern between straight through and cross-over cables without issues since the dopes who wired up my house wired it completely with cross-over cables and not straight through.

Here's some of the reasons why I recommend it. Works great and it's relatively cheap. 5 minutes out of the box and it was up and running. I own several Linksys equipment and have not had any problems. It stacks well with other linksys equipment. I also have a cable/DSL router and this switch has the same footprint so they stack together. Beware of the linksys 5 port or 8 port switches, they are much smaller and will not stack on top of a Linksys Cable/DSL router or Wireless router. The pictures make them look the same but make sure you look at the dimensions of the item. The ethernet cables run into the back of the unit. I think this is plus for home use since it keeps the desk less cluttered. You can tell the status of the connection on the front without the cables everywhere like the Netgear switches. Highly recommend this switch. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/3649909-linksys-ezxs16w-etherfast-10-100-16-port-workgroup-switch](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/3649909-linksys-ezxs16w-etherfast-10-100-16-port-workgroup-switch) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
