    You can’t possibly buy this item from any better place for a better price, for better service. Amazon.com is byfar the best online purchasing company I’ve found yet. 5 ***** to you Amazon.com!!! Thank you for incredible service, and very fast shipping.

    When I had a DSL program running on one of the computers in my house and wanted to add it to others, I didn’t want to buy brand new packages to set up the computers that were in need of DSL. I was recommended this product so I could route the line from one computer to the two others. Now with this wonderful little router, I have DSL hooked up in three of my home computers. This has made internet life much easier and this way nobody has to worry about having to get offline to use the internet. Everybody can just use the internet at the same time.

    The box itself is ingenius in itself. You are able to route up to four cables into this box meaning that you can use the DSL on up to four computers at the same time! This was indeed a blessing. The installation for this product is very quick and in no time you will be surfing the net. I recommend this router to somebody that wants to get up to four computers hooked up to a DSL. This is ideal for an office or a home with more than one computer with internet access. This is recommended and will make life much easier.

    I saw this router recently at a local computer store and was excited to find a device that would enable VPN connections. So, I bought the Linksys BEFVP41 EtherFast Cable/DSL VPN Router w/4 port Switchrouters and brought it home in anticipation of a faster connection and establish a VPN connection to my office. Disappointment followed, after four hours of struggling with the installation, which included loading the latest software within the router, I called the help desk. I was informed by the help desk that the reason I was unable to make configuration changes to the router was due to a software defect within the device. I exchanged the device for another one. This one had the exact same issue. I exchanged the router for a flat screen and more basic router that I am pleased with.

    The firewall is useless if you have more than one machine behind it. The port forwarding does not allow ranges of internal IP addresses, and if you specify more than one the the port stops working for ALL addresses.

    For example, want to open TCP/123 for NTP synchronization? Have more than one machine? If you don’t forward the port, you can’t connect to the NTP server. If you forward one IP, it works, but if you forward both IP addresses, neither of them are able to connect to NTP.

    There appears to be no support for RTP/RTSP streaming (e.g., QuickTime), though there is a mysterious (and essentially undocumented) “port triggering” feature. Absolutely no idea how this is supposed to work; the docs are nearly useless and there is nothing on the Linksys web site.

    In spite of the claims in the data sheet, it could not connect to the common IPSec VPN my company uses. It does not offer the option of logging firewall violations, so troubleshooting is very difficult.

    I’m using the latest firmware 1.40.2.

    No support available for VPN config.

    Wasted 60+ man hours configuring VPN, not working as of now.

    Looks like this product was not tested or certified for VPN.

    Poor functionality for VPN.

    Sad, that i bought this equipment.
