For whatever reason… ok.. ok.. price. I tried another Stinksys product.  Sigh. The always delightful SRW248G4 “almost” managed ethernet switch ladies and gentlemen. 

There’s not much configuration really just give the SRW248G4 an IP address assignment and you’re off.  Off to the land of  why did I buy this.  The web configuration interface described in the accompanying manual doesn’t work.  Unless you’re using internet Explorer 7.  Not IE 6, not 8… but 7. Figure that one out.
