Which, according to the datasheet, has 4 10/100 ports for the switch and 1 10/100 port for internet. The datasheet was wrong. The "internet" port is only capable of 10mbps (6mbps actually). I was not happy to say the least, having spent ages trying to find one with a 100mbps internet port only discover that not even all those labelled as 100mbps capable really are. How in the world does anyone get hold of what I'm looking for? I've taken it up with linksys and they should be replacing it with one that actually does what it's datasheet says.
