5 out of 5 stars Great 16 port switch.......2007-03-23

I have been using Linksys networking products for about 10 years. I have used products made by NetGear, D-Link, and others as well but I prefer the Linksys (not that the others are bad).

In my opinion, the Linksys routers and switches are great for home and small office use. I've built around 10 networks using Linksys switches and routers and have been very pleased. I have never had a failure with a Linksys hub, switch, or router. I have had 1 or 2 bad network cards, but out of 50+ that's not too bad.

I've set up 2 networks using this 16 port switch. One of them is still going strong after 5+ years, the other has only been in service for a few months - no problems with either switch. One nice feature of this switch is that it has the same footprint as the WRT54G wireless router series, so you can stack the units.

5 out of 5 stars Performs as Advertised........2007-03-17

For those of us who just don't want to live in the half-duplex single-pipeline, high-latency low-reliability world of wireless, this switch is the perfect centerpiece of a home network. It's cheap, fast, and reliable. Of course, you'll need copper in your walls and an a socket in each room, but once you've got that in place, you'll have a home network that isn't susceptible to your daughter's cell phone, the kitchen microwave or your neighbor's motion detector.

5 out of 5 stars Linksys EZXS16W.......2007-01-30

Device was a breeze to set up, 20 minutes from in the box to on my network, and has worked as advertized since I plugged it in...

5 out of 5 stars Easy setup.......2007-01-09

Excelent product with a very fast and easy setup. Just plug and use it. For users that have a home or small office network, this is perfect!

5 out of 5 stars Great 10/100 swtich!.......2006-11-05

I have had this switch for about a year, and I couldn't be more satisfied! I currently only use 9 of the 16 ports, but it's nice to know I have room to grow. Plus the switch has a little weight and substance to it, so the weight of the cables plugged in doesn't tip the front of the modem up.

                        The search for the perfect match to your DVD player stops with the HT-S760. Combine a powerful home theater receiver that gives you 100 watts of power with the latest formats, user-friendly features and a matched 6.1-channel speaker package, and the step-up to enveloping 6.1-channel surround sound has never been easier. The included receiver is designed to deliver as much as 100 W of power into 8 ohms with no more than 0.08 % THD to each of its five channels (two front, one center and two surrounds) to fill even most of the largest rooms with levels of sound from the most subtle to the most dynamic. The performance of the higher-end receivers is available at a fraction of the cost by sharing many of the same precision parts and circuit design (WRAT, Non-Scaling Configuration, discrete output stage circuitry) as its more expensive siblings. Adding Onkyo exclusives like Optimum Gain Volume circuitry and CinemaFILTER simply brings out the best in your DTS and Dolby Digital encoded movies and music. There's even Dolby Pro Logic II to further enhance the listening enjoyment of your two channel sources. Previously crossover frequency was fixed at 80 Hz. With Crossover Adjustment, you can set the frequency at 60/80/100/120 or 150 Hz depending on your speaker's bass playback ability. This lets you more accurately match the performance characteristics of the subwoofer to your front speakers. Onkyo's commitment to bringing the most user-friendly designed products to market further manifests itself with color-coded inputs and outputs. Now you'll no longer have worries about which cable goes to which input or output. Simply attach the color-coded speaker cable to the same colored input or output for fast and easy connection. 6.1-Channel Speaker Package is designed to instantly transform any room into an enveloping home theater.

                        I have been into home theater since the days of HI-FI stereo, Beta VCR's. I graduated to Dolby Surround, and then Pro Logic. And at one point I probably had $3000 invested into my system. Then I got married and had kids, and traded the big stereo for a mini- system. I have also had the experience of working for a large local electronics retailer part time for the last few years when I needed a little extra cash.

                        So when I decided to upgrade my home theater system, I started reading. I wanted the most bang for the buck, and from everything I read, I felt that this system was the way to go. But we never carried it at the store where I worked. And do you know why? They felt that the product was way too good for only $500, and would limit their ability to sell, separate component systems, at much higher prices.

                        They never had a problem carrying and selling other HTIB's, because none of them could compare to a nice component system. Some sound ok for movies, but most fall short in the music department. So if you wanted a system good for movies and music, you bought separates.

                        Well, I went over to the local Circuit City, and bought one of these without even listening to it in the store. I also bought the Onkyo 6 disk DVD player (DV-CP701). Then I hopped over to the Shack and bought some 16ga. mega cable(way better value than monster cable), and a nice sub cable and digital coax cable, and headed for home.

                        Now, I don't know how Onkyo did it, but you could not assemble a component system for double or even triple the cost of this one, that sounds this good! I put in the pod race from Phantom Menace, and I was grinning from ear to ear the whole way through. I was amazed! After cranking up a few more of my favorite movie sound scenes, I threw in some Luther Vandros for my wife. I put the receiver in DTS Neo:6 music mode, and I felt like Luther was standing in my living room.

                        Now I'm not trying to say there is not better stuff out there, because there is. But if you want the best for the money there is no comparison. You just have to remember to take the time for proper setup, and I promise, you will be amazed. And to any of you negative reviewers out there who say the sound is not up to par, I don't know where you are coming from?

                        5 out of 5 stars Excellent for the Price.......2004-04-11

                        I'm a raw audiophile.

                        My "music" system has no remote(creates motor noise)
                        straight pre-amp, cd, Amp.
                        ALL my components cost more than this whole system easily.
                        (even my speaker wires cost almost as much.)
                        In fact I got rid of my Yamaha dolby ProLogic Reciever
                        years ago when I bypassed my receiver straight into amp and
                        realized how the rec. with all the processing RUINED the quality
                        of sound out of the CD player. That's what sold me on quality
                        and simplicity.

                        I know good sound when I hear it.

                        However, I watch more movies again and I was getting sick of sound through the TV speakers. My current speakers are not magnetically shielded and I don't have enough room to avoid interference with my older TV(35in. tube). So I looked around and found a number of good reviews on Onkyo Home Theater Systems (HTS's).
                        I wasn't looking for perfection just better than what I had.

                        My experience also sold me on this system because I know goofy looking(some Panasonic, Sony, etc.) and small speakers either sound bad or cost a fortune(Bose). Larger speakers like these require much less SPECIALIZATION allowing for OFF THE SHELF speakers and boxes. Therefore you get better sound for less money. If size is VERY important better SEE these speakers before buying.

                        Now my review. Even with cheaper speakers than I had 6-7 years ago. I'm really impressed with the newer digital surround formats WOW! so much better than old ProLogic. The separation of the rear speakers(not MONO anymore) really makes a big difference. You also get much better channel separation. The receiver is decent quality and the remote is OK. I'll be using the Famous Sony 2100 universal remote instead(when I program it)
                        Remember not ALL DVD's use true Dobly Digital. Check the box and the audio options. Also the reciever does not alway shift to digital "EX" by itself.

                        The REAL issue though are the speakers. The rears are fine. The fronts pretty good. But as usual the center is lacking. Why they didn't just give you another front I don't know. They are almost the same size anyway. The sub appears to be sufficent. It is rather boomy.(not surprising for the price) I heard another guy who put some fiber fill inside and that took care of it. Make sure to get speaker stands they(fronts)will sound better at ear height.

                        If you are expecting really "good" sound; look elsewhere.
                        If you want pretty good sound and excellent upgrade to the new surround formats this is it. Most people will be very happy with the sound.

                        You WILL have to buy a coaxial or optical line for digital use from the DVD player.
                        And PLEASE replace the horrible speaker wire(22-gauge) they give you. You WILL get better sound if you replace them. Also replace the sub mono RCA wire with better wire.(this is some of the stuff you deal with for the great price)

                        ALL the speakers use basic spring clips(bare wire). I recommend putting banana plug ends(buy the better ones; trust me) on the receiver side of the speaker wire. Just push then in the back center hole of each terminal post(incredibly easier).

                        The best thing about this system is that it is a "separates" system. So you can replace EACH piece for better components if and when you choose to.

                        If I have quality problems I'll be sure to post. Good luck.

                        5 out of 5 stars Stop looking for an entry level HTS - this is it!!!.......2004-03-27

                        This is hands down the best bang for your buck. I would challenge anyone to find a better system for this money.

                        There are enough inputs to cover all your needs. I have my DVD player, TV and xbox all hooked up.

                        Step by Step Review:

                        Components:
                        You won't get a better set of inputs/outputs for this money. 6 speakers that are adequate for 99% of us normal users. Subwoofer is powered on its own and good enough to handle most requirements.

                        Setup:
                        Its easy to setup. I had the entire system setup in less than half a day. Color co-ordinated wires with the speakers. Easy to follow instructions to setup each component.

                        Use:
                        The remote is busy but is easy to use. Nothing complicated here.

                        Sound Quality:
                        Great sound, it may not meet the needs of those who want professional sound (those people are better off spending the 2k-5K to get a full quality compenent system) but it is good enough that I can't find faults. I would recommend buying better speaker wire as you will notice the difference.

                        Misc:
                        I love the ability to use digital audio connections! And the price... c'mon can you find a better HTS for this cost.

                        Buy this system and enjoy home theater sound during sports and movies.

                        5 out of 5 stars Great Home Theater System.......2004-03-27

                        This is my first full home theater system and I've been very happy with it. The price isn't too outrageous for a system of this quality.

                        There are plenty of A/V inputs on the receiver, including 2 component video inputs for high definition sources (Digital Cable, DVD, X-Box, etc.) and three digital inputs (2 optical, one coaxial). Also, all of the video inputs have s-video connections which is a plus. Of course you can rarely have too many connections and I've already had to settle with what was given. My one complaint concerning connections is the lack of a digital output which is desirable for recording with CDs, DVDs, and minidisc.

                        I've been very pleased with the output of the speakers included. I'm not exactly and audiophile but I can tell low quality from high and these are high quality speakers for a system at this price. I agree with some of the other reviewers that the speaker cables could be a higher quality and a bit longer though. Also the rear speakers are bigger than many other home theater systems but you'll have to decide if that's a problem based on the size of your room

                        The receiver's abilities are superb. Dolby Digital and DTS support plus DSP modes for stereo sources is great. Movies sound awesome and music is great as well.

                        Finally, setup is easy thanks to color coded cables. The remote control works great even with other components (TVs, VCRs, DVD, etc.).

                        5 out of 5 stars Great value for entry level home theater.......2004-03-21

                        I bought this system because I didn't want to spend a lot of money, but I wanted better sound than I was getting from my big-screen. I wasn't disappointed.

                        The system arrived in a gigantic (5 feet tall) box, which holds the receiver, a center speaker, a left speaker, a right speaker, two rear speakers, a base unit, a remote control, and a bunch of wires.

                        The receiver is the hub of the system and allows you to switch between AM/FM, several audio units, and four different video inputs (one of the four video inputs is on the front, so there are really only three full-time video inputs to choose from). One of the three full-time video inputs will support a VCR (or a DVD recorder), so that you can use the receiver to control what your VCR sees. Your VCR sees whatever you are watching.

                        The receiver supports composite video, S-video (which is what I use), composite audio, and one coaxial and one optical digital audio connection (which you want to use to connect the audio on your DVD player to the receiver in order to get surround sound).

                        If you connect your DVD player using a digital connection (coaxial digital works fine), and play a DVD encoded with surround, you'll hear real surround sound. Otherwise, the receiver has several options to emulate surround sound using a conventional stereo signal.

                        The center and front speakers are very large. This is unique because most inexpensive systems (i.e. Bose) come with very small speakers. I don't know if bigger is necessarily better, but when I was growing up, good stereo systems had humongous speakers. I consider myself to be fairly critical when it comes to sound quality, and I like the way these sound.

                        The receiver does get quite warm when its turned on, so make sure you install it somewhere that has adequate ventilation.

                        Finally, a word about remote controls. Between the DVD player, the DVD recorder/VCR, the TV, and the satellite system, and now the receiver, I have five remote controls to juggle. When you have more than two remote controls, its time for a universal remote control that can learn and control everything. The Universal MX-500 (which you can buy on amazon.com) is the best I've found, and I use it every day (you can read my amazon.com review if you search for MX-500).

                                  The C9300 is all you need for fast, versatile A4 and A3 printing in the office. It offers super-fast color printing at 30ppm and efficient mono printing at 37ppm without compromise. In fact the printer is so reliable and versatile it is unlikely you will need another printer. It can handle up to 5 different paper types and weights from separate trays, which the printer automatically senses, to ensure the perfect print, day after day, week after week, month after month The Oki pledge: no penalty for printing mono pages from the new C9000 Series color printers will cost no more than the average mono desktop printer - and color printing is also excellent value.
