[NTLUG:Discuss] What happened to Linksys?? BEFSR81v3 is junk

[Chris Cox]

The continuing story....

To test my theory of auto neg being the primary suspect, I inserted
a Linksys (shudder) 10/100 cheapy switch in between my cable modem
and the Linksys router... and guess what??  That fixed the performance
issue.  ARGHHH!!!

Now... I'm going to blame Cisco, because the only time I've
ever seen a device mess up on auto neg. was with Cisco switches
and routers (the high end kind).  Granted, others have stated
that Linksys is junk (like my subject says), but I never had
a problem like this until I bought a new "Cisco" labeled
Linksys device.
