Don't let that metal case fool you, the board inside is the same cheap Chinese crap as all the others. I had an original GS105 that I got back when gigabit was new and it died after about 3 years (started as random packet corruption finally degrading to 80%+ packet loss between any 2 ports) I also had a FS108 that the link/status LEDs were always on no matter what before they stopped lighting completely. I switched to D-Link and haven't needed to replace anything since. /M |

That would be the one to get. Most U-Verse techs carry the 8 port model on their trucks in case more Ethernet ports are needed while on the jobsite » www.att.com/equipment/ac ··· q_model= is the link to order directly from AT&T, but shopping around you can tend to find a better price when checking newegg, ebay, amazon, tigerdirect, bestbuy, etc etc |

No doubt but when dealing with multicast and IGMPv3 I'd just recommend sticking with the approved models from AT&T. I've seen performance slow downs and other issues caused by using different models. In my opinion it just isn't worth the risk. |

Thanks again. I will try my router today. I have a possible related question.... Several times a day My adapter disappears from my wireless network window. This is after I get a message saying limited connection or no networks available. I have to restart my laptop constantly or use ethernet connection. Must be my laptop since this doesn't happen on other wireless devices in my home. Any ideas? |

/M Give it time. They're all squeezed out of the same mold until you get into the higher end Dell/HP/Cisco/Juniper switches. |

Must be my laptop since this doesn't happen on other wireless devices in my home. Any ideas? Look for an updated wireless driver. If that doesn't work, many laptops have a compartment on the bottom where the wifi card is. You may check out the antenna connections and make sure it's fully seated. Or you can try a USB wifi adapter. |

It's also possible that the wireless card itself is loose. That said, a reboot wouldn't fix that. So you may have a software issue. |
