Description
The RV082 8-port Fast Ethernet VPN Router-Dual WAN is an advanced Internet-sharing network solution for your small business needs. Like any router, it lets multiple computers in your office share an Internet connection. But the unique dual Internet ports on the 10/100 8-Port VPN Router let you connect a second Internet line as a backup to insure that you're never disconnected. Or, use both Internet ports at the same time, and let the router balance your office's requirements between them for maximum bandwidth efficiency. The 10/100 8-Port VPN Router also features a built-in 8-port full-duplex 10/100 Ethernet switch to connect eight PCs directly, or you can connect more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need.

Strengths: Good features, good speed, rackmountable (ears included), Linksys QuickVPN is an easy-to-use SSL VPN (equivalent security and works more reliably through firewalls than IPSec VPNs).
Weakness: v1 hardware and 1.x firmware. Linksys makes great products, but they have yet to learn how to make their v1 products stable and fully-functional. Wait for the v1.1 or v2 model before buying.
After three days of fighting with the firewall configuration, I finally managed to convince Linksys that there was a problem. I could not get IPSec over UDP packets past the firewall unless I either disabled the firewall or added an "allow all from any to any" rule, which effectively disables the firewall. The problem persisted after exhausting every suggestion offered by Linksys Technical...
Strengths: Solidly built; feature rich; able to handle high loads
Weakness: Price -- well when compared to residential equipment, but not when compared to commercial (this is somewhere between in my view)
A very nice unit... like most products it required a firmware update right out of the box. But my problem with residential grade routers was that the number of connections I was making through it was killing them -- this router doesn't seem to have any of those problems -- and the switch doesn't lock up with lots of local traffic either. If you're tired of problems with your residential gateway,...
Strengths: Easy to configure and works well as a small business router wiht a built in firewall.
Weakness: None known as of yet.
This router by CISCO seems to be the perfect fit for small businesses willing to spend a little bit of money with the advantage of a built in firewall and load balancing for 2 incoming internet lines.
Strengths: VPN Router with QuickVPN software works PERFECTLY. Webpage configuration screen is good and has many features to tailor fit your enviornment.
Weakness: Must upgrade firmware out of the box immediately.
I have used linksys products for the past 10 years. I stick with Linksys but thats not after my share of issues with their products. All of their products work after alittle bit of TLC upfront. This VPN router was flawless out of the box. It was actually a breeze and a pleasure to get it up and running. HURRAY!
Strengths: Not many other than a more user friendly interface and PPTP was simple.
Weakness: The stronger VPN technology is a pain to make work with windows and the quickvpn utility is a joke, but only the Linksys programmers are laughing.
Bought the product and a little over a year later it dies. Just get a solid red and solid green light. No IP assignment or anything else. Called support to be informed that this product is only warranted for 1 year. My client who purchased this thing spent about $350. That is ridiculous to spend that kind of money for a low-end router and have it die just after the warranty. I will never...
Strengths: Very configurable, very stable, nice http firmware interface.
Weakness: Non that I have found
I originally purchase the WRV54G and it was junk. It would not talk to the DNS at all even after trying two brand new products and spending several hours on the phone with Linksys tech. support. The RV082 on the other hand worked flawlessly and there was never a need to call Linksys for support. I would highly recommend this router to anyone who is an advanced user.
Strengths: This router is easy to setup, has a simple, but effective interface, and is great for small businesses. The VPN software that comes with the router is nice to use.
Weakness: VPN setup was a little difficult to setup at first. Once I was familiar with the software it got easier.
Although I have been using this router for 4 days now, it seems like a lifetime. I searched for a router for my business for a week and came to a conclusion that this is the one we wanted. Once we got it, setup was a snap. The firmware was current and the connections were easy to setup. We continued to setup the VPN (the router comes with software for that) and that proved to be a little...
Strengths: VPN function, 8 ports friendly and fexible interface.
Weakness: Linksys support is bad, expensive and no wireless.
I would love to give this router a 5 star, but the VPN function is hard to get working. There is no wireless so I had a really hard time to get a wireless router and this guy to work together. Linksys support picks up the phone fast, but guess what.....they don't know what they are talking about and they don't understand english well. I believe I got transfer to the India for support like almost...
Strengths: None.
Weakness: Completely imcompatible with Covad DSL
I spent an hour on the phone with tech support, upgraded to the latest firmware, to no avail. This device is incompatible with my Covad DSL circuit using Broadxent box. BEWARE!

Once logged into the network via the RV042, users can then access files, e-mail, and...

Strengths: None
Weakness: Page 95 manual
Pg 95 of the manual states this router has a battery, it can only be replaced by LINKSYS, it is good for 1 to 2 years? I am returning my package before my system is down for weeks getting a battery replaced.
