Summary: Keep looking ... I will tell you where
Review: The VPN causes the whole box to stop working. If you need a VPN look somewhere else. I am considering the Netgear FVS318

Summary: Worth every penny
Review: This is a great router. Not just because I use Linksys for my networking, but because it is priced reasonably and has a lot of functions through the built in admin functions. It's great if you have a hard wired network...if you're looking for the home office or whole house service, you may want to consider going wireless. In the end wireless would save some headaches.

Summary: Misleading Features and no Tech Support
Review: This product does not support popular L2TP or PPTP connections, but requires specialized IPSec client software to work (which is not supplied). It should in theory connect easily to another Linksys VPN but connecting to it while traveling is really not an option. The Windows 2000 or XP VPN clients can't connect to it.
Their advertised Windows connection is really only applicable to a fixed IP environment which is very misleading.
Tech support was not helpful (even hanging up on me) recommending only to purchase another software client to connect to it, that costs more than the router. When I did as recommended, they refused to guide me on how to configure this expensive software. I don't recommend this product at all, avoid unless you are connecting 2 Linksys VPN boxes to each other. Look for a VPN router that either comes with its own client or works with the free Windows client, otherwise you're spending big money and endless hours of configuration.

Summary: Made life much easier...
Review: When I had a DSL program running on one of the computers in my house and wanted to add it to others, I didn't want to buy brand new packages to set up the computers that were in need of DSL. I was recommended this product so I could route the line from one computer to the two others. Now with this wonderful little router, I have DSL hooked up in three of my home computers. This has made internet life much easier and this way nobody has to worry about having to get offline to use the internet. Everybody can just use the internet at the same time. The box itself is ingenius in itself. You are able to route up to four cables into this box meaning that you can use the DSL on up to four computers at the same time! This was indeed a blessing. The installation for this product is very quick and in no time you will be surfing the net. I recommend this router to somebody that wants to get up to four computers hooked up to a DSL. This is ideal for an office or a home with more than one computer with internet access. This is recommended and will make life much easier.

Summary: Ill-trained tech support.
Review: You better not rely on Linksys tech support for any expert knowledge and help.
They follow certain standard scripts and if things get a bit complex they are essentially lost. And so are you.
They'll make you work with their "reset and re-flash" routine wasting your time, when problems lie elsewhere.
I bought two units but when one acted strangely and then failed a lot of wasted time was spent on the phone doing irrelevant things and often getting wrong information. When the units work it was great. Buy the units if you are confident that your prayers will be answered that you'll never encounter a defective unit. Or if you enjoy spending a lot of time on the phone with ill-trained technicians.
