Seems to be relatively robust. I've had to reboot it once in the first month when a single machine lost connectivity. I had no problems connecting with SSL VPN. I was fairly easily able to set up multiple subnets, but access control between VLANs is all or nothing. There is no fine grained control between them, and the real problem I had was that if I wall off access between subnets, I can't access the isolated subnets even from the internet as the packets get forwarded with the internal addresses. In order to host a web site, I have to choose between exposing the server in the DMZ or putting it on my local network, which was a disappointment for me.

I was a real Linksys fan until I tried this guy. Now, I find myself with a router that does NOT work properly when passing FTP client traffic to the net and (when it is not rebooting) runs VERY slowly. I am in the market for another brand if anybody has any suggestions.

Works fine as a router, and SSL VPN client works fine with XP (note that you need admin permissions on your machine to install the virtual adaptor). Vista is another issue. Linksys recently released new firmware 1.17 which supports Vista, and I did get it to work breifly before it started doing some weird things. Trying to resolve with Linksys tech support, but I am not hopeful. Note that this product falls into a special category - you need to call for support. Make sure you say you are a business or you get shunted into the "stay on hold forever and then get hung up on" area. update: after No call back from Linksys, returned unit and bought a cisco 871 Cudos to Amazon for a great return policy. As for this product. I'd have to put it in The toy category based on the lack of Support.
