Better know what you are doing if you buy this.
(1 out of 5) by Kim M. Mabery on Jan 23, 2008 (APO, AP USA)I have no complaints about the direct product. It works great if you know how to set up the device. If you need any assistance from Linksys Customer Support, I will guarantee you will get frustrated and demand a refund. The Customer Support is TERRIBLE and a one star rating is the lowest I could rate their service. Wish they had half star ratings. I was fortunate and able to stumble upon a soultion by means of trial and error by tinkering with the router. If you are new to routers, don't get this one.

VPN this !
(1 out of 5) by figaro on Mar 10, 2006 (Hollywood, FL)I spent 2 days on the phone with Linksys trying to make this thing work. It just does not.
The router/switch/firewall features work fine. When it comes to VPN... forget it. It is NOT compatible with any respectable IPSec VPN client.
Authentication options are not suited for mobile users with Dynamic IPs (you can not specify to connect from just any IP address) and their own VPN client (QuickVPN) is incompatible with Nortel and Cisco VPN clients (they can not be installed on the same computer) so if you are using any of these softwares to connect to other VPNs don't buy this product.

Don't install any new firmware
(1 out of 5) by Y. Lin on Nov 27, 2006 (New York)I made the mistake of installing the new firmware, and now I can't get any kind of internet connection from the outside. FTP, Remote Desktop, etc., all failed to connect. The new firmware blocks all incoming connecitons. I talked to the Linksys tech support several time, and couldn't revert back to factory default firmware. I had to bring in my home router, an RV082, which I hadn't updated, to replace the one in the office. If you want a router with bullet proof firewall, I had got it in the drawer.
