into every product to keep your wired and wireless networks safe. Linksys Small Business Series systems have advanced firewall, encryption and authentication features to protect you from network threats - threats that can seriously disrupt or damage your business by stealing your valuable data, slowing down your network and interfering with business-critical applications. Linksys systems ensure maximum application availability enabling you to meet corporate governance and business continuance requirements. The Linksys Small Business Series is the affordable, reliable, high quality networking solution that helps you do business smarter. Secure and easy to install and maintain, it's built to grow with your business.As broadband speeds increase most 10/100 gateways do not have the power to support those higher data rates, and thus become the bottleneck in the network. The RVS4000 10/100/1000 4-Port VPN Router works at Gigabit speeds to meet the demands of today's networks. It features Linksys' proven SPI Firewall with an integrated Intrusion Detection and Prevent System (IDS/IPS). Its built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100/1000 Ethernet switch can connect up four PCs directly, or additional hubs and switches. The QoS features provide consistent voice and video quality throughout your business.In addition, the RVS4000 features a Virtual Private Network (VPN) security engine that creates encrypted IPSec tunnels through the Internet. The IPSec VPN tunnels enable remote users from at home, or on the road to easily, and securely connect to the office network through a typical wired or wireless broadband connection. When used with another RVS4000 or other Linksys VPN router, branch-to-branch connections can be established allowing users in a remote office to connect to the corporate network.

Linksys 4-Port Ethernet Broadband Router with VPN Firewall

Do not buy this product. Search the web for 'rvs4000 ftp'. You will see that you cannot ftp through this router. Worse yet, Linksys doesn't care. They have made no effort to fix it and don't even respond to customers about the issue.

Not Reliable

Linksys 4-Port Ethernet Broadband Router with VPN Firewall

I replaced a linksys BEFSR81V3 FW 2.45.5 with this RVS4000. Updated factory default to the latest FW and IPS and then configured to match replaced router.

The first thing that happened is that it locked up while doing a scan of the LAN from VPNing in. Had to have the client do a power cycle to get it back.

I had set up email logs to monitor behavior and started to receive many errors. Contacted linksys tech support, actually connected to Cisco product manager, to findout what the errors are and if it would cause a lockup at the client's site. Said it would be corrected in the next FW release, but didn't answer if it would cause a lock up or not. My impression is that their attitude was that they really didn't care (no offer of beta FW release or things to mitigate the lockups) and attempted to pin the "blame" on the load at the client's site. The old BEFSR is a faster router and more reliable than an RVS4000?!

It locked up again during normal use, usage is very light, and had to power

VPN Doesn't Work

Linksys 4-Port Ethernet Broadband Router with VPN Firewall

I bought this router to set up VPN for a business client. I thought a Linksys router off the shelf would be a simple working solution. The customer needed to attach remotely with an XP laptop using a DSL connection. I set up the router behind a completely open Netopia router from the ISP. The ISP's Netopia router was set up as bridge only. I installed the Linksys QuickVPN client. The QuickVPN client wouldn't work. After 2 weeks on the phone with Linksys it was still not working consistently. It did work 1 time but quickly failed to work. They finally escalated it to another level where they were able to replicate the problem in the "lab". The only criteria were the Linksys router must be set up behind an open DSL router. Likely, this is the most common configuration of all. It must not have been tested in this configuration prior to release. ??? So, they escalated it to another level and sent it to engineering. They can't give me an ETA and don't know when they can even start troubleshooting.
