Title: Switch may be defective
Product review: I suffered with this unit for about 2 weeks before I caved and returned it. I replaced it with a FAR more expensive Apple Airport Extreme, which works wonderfully. (I have a mixed Mac/Wintel LAN).I think my unit was defective, probably a defective 10/100 switch. It worked well in wireless mode, with range better than my older SMC (wireless card failed on that one).I really stress my LAN (backups, etc) so I might expose problems others might not notice. I suspect though that this is a true defect that hits some of these devices. I wonder, though, if the MR814 ever works properly with a secondary external switch.When I bought the device it didn't work at all with my Cisco 675 DSL/router, but a firmware update fixed that. Still, a bad sign that out of the box it was DOA on my LAN.Tech support never replied to an email inquiry.If you buy this device, ... DO NOT SEND IN THE REBATE UNTIL YOU'RE SURE YOU WON'T RETURN IT. ...
