totally agree.
I used to use BEFSR41 (retired from my upgrading of router 2 yrs ago) as switch.But the power outrage did damage on this router 2 days ago. LEd lights kepe flashing and internet connect is on for 2 seconds and off for 2 second and go on and go on....information on forum indicates it maybe a hardware problem and no vilid solution for it.So I decided to go for a new switch. Went to a local office depot store and grabed a cheapest one which is D-link DES1105 for $9.99, before I bought,I asked clerk to check the amazon reviews, it is 4.5 stars rate. It works OK. I hope it lasts long and can survive power outrage.
