[ale] Home network with ADSL? (with a twist)

[Michael Smith]

I have 3 of them and haven't had any problems except one was sent with the
wrong power supply.  I definitely notice a difference when dealing with
large files in my own network.  I previously had an old 10 mb hub and it
would crawl.  It is definitely worth paying a little more for a switch!

I bought a used 1 port Linksys router from a friend.  I found that Best
Buy is selling 5 port 10/100 Linksys switches for $60 so I picked one
up.  anyone have any experience with the switch?
