Linksys has recently built a well deserved reputation for cutting corners and building inferior routers. Often features do not work as advertised or at all. That has been particularly true with Linksys VPN routers. This router is the only Linksys VPN router I've found that lives up to its billing. I have a number of them installed at client locations to create site to site VPNs and they just work. Setup of the router is easy, as is setup of the site to site VPN. If you need to connect two separate physical locations, this is the right router for the job.

I was a little hesitant after reading all the negative reviews here, but knowing that most people are just plain lame when it comes to tech issues, [...]. I followed the instructions all the way up through plugging in the power adapter. At that point, I didn't have to do anything else, my network was now connected. As I turned on the rest of the pc's and laptop, they all connected to the internet immediately. My home wired network consists of 3 pc's and a laptop, all running XP. BTW, after installing this router (my previous router was a Netgear wireless router, that gave me intermittent connection problems), my measured download speed increased 33%, to 8096 kbps.

The Linksys BEFVP41 is perfect for remotely accessing a small home network with a static IP address. The connections are secure and the setup is extremely easy. Using tools such as the LinSys IPSec Tool, accessing one's home network is extremely easy. I recommend this product to any small- or even medium-sized office that wishes to connect multiple locations or support remote/roaming users.
