I did run a Linksys router with built in Switch with a SS20 and a U1  
for awhile with no trouble.  It was a router from before they started  
making linux based products.  I think the U1 may have been connected  
via a HME card instead of the onboard though.  I can't remember.

OTOH, the Linksys would lock up under extended periods of high load.   
It was not a nice device.
