Comparing the BEFVP41, Netgear FVS318 and the WRV54G

Date of Review:  May 24, 2004
The Bottom Line: This VPN router was the cheapest one I tried but it worked the best in terms of remote VPN client access.
Review: I have a requirement that when I am traveling on the road I can access my home network remotely. This could be either from a direct internet connection or from behind a NAT box. For example, I can modem dial up to Earthlink from my hotel room and...

Date of Review:  Jul 19, 2004
Review: I recently purchased this to replace an Intel hub and so far it has been fantastic. The first big improvement was in my internet bill. The company I was using charged for each point of entry (4 needed with the Intel) but with this Linksys it is a...

Standard Linksys Reliability

Date of Review:  Oct 15, 2004
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this for someone needing VPN connectivity for a home/small office environment.
Review: This is for the BEFVP41 VPN router. Seems most of these 'reviews' apply to the basic router. This router was a replacement for a Network Everywhere (Linksys) Basic Broadband Router. Linksys has alway had excellent quality and reliability. Most of my...

Excellent small-business VPN solution.

Date of Review:  Aug 4, 2003
The Bottom Line: This is an excellent choice for an affordable VPN solution for a home-to-office connection.
Review: This device is a great low-cost router/vpn unit. It provides for all of the standard router/gateway features such as NAT, DHCP Server, and port forwarding/filtering. It is also relatively easy to setup as a VPN connector. The vpn features use IPSec...

Date of Review:  Jan 30, 2006
Review: I've done a lot of research on this unit. I bought it with the idea that I would set it up for roaming users and its not that it cant do that but it doesnt do that well. If you want to setup the vpn in windows without extra software it is possible...

Terrible product: befvp41

Date of Review:  Jun 2, 2006
Review: Easy to configure but extremely unstable, I had 8 befvp41 to connects sites trough vpn, I had to restart each at least twice a week!
I replaced all of them with Netgear FVS-114 and they are very stable compare with Linksys.
