Just tried to give you some practical advice regarding used computer electronics. If you thinks it's insulting over a simple consumer Network Switch, try understanding how it feels to throw thousands of dollars of working computer components away. Not enjoying it one bit.
Those consumer Linsys switches are widely available, and after approx 12-months or so will burn-out. Sorry you didn't like the advice. Take it with a grain of salt. That switch is about as valuable as a used ZIP drive. Used computer electronics no matter how new they may be or how well they still work, aren't worth anywhere near what you think they may be. It's a hard fact of life. Just like a new car, that new electronic you bought today isn't going to be worth 1/3 what you spent in 2-3 months.
Donate it to Goodwill or your child's school and take the tax deduction. If you do it before April 15th you can still claim it for 2010. Your welcome.
