The RVS4000 is not what it appears to be. Says it is a Gigabit router, but it will slow your network to a crawl. I am using a mix of 100Mbps and 1Gbps devices on my home network, but the maximum throughput through this "high speed" router is about 15.8 Mbps. So unless you're pining for the old days of 10Mbps speeds, stay far away from this piece of junk. Lastly, you can nearly double the speed (to almost 26Mbps) by disabling all the features of the device, but if you have to have everything disabled in order to use it, and you still can't get Gigabit speeds, why would you want it in the first place?

used this to replace the vz supplied router for the secure vpn network at home. its too slow. you will not get hi def vod. or standard def vod as well. no pay per views no hbo on demand no dvr content will work with this. get a faster router.

I've had this router for a little over 2 years now and it did the job. However I just upgraded my internet access speed to 50Mbps and for some reason all my speed tests were capping out at 12Mpbs. I took this RVS4000 out of my router chain and my speedtests shot up to 50+Mbps, even a hard reset on the RVS4000 doesn't help. Boo. So it gets 3 stars for doing most things right, but a limit of 12Mbps is pretty lame.
