With Linksys 8-Port VPN Router hardware you can have to internet conections at the same time. If one fails you can still have internet. and the firewall is great.

Linksys 8-Port VPN Router is a great VPN router, but the one thing I needed it couldn't do. I need to map external IPs to internal IPs - on different subnets. This will only map external IPs to the main LAN subnet. Not that big a deal if I wanted to reconfigure everything else on my network, but for me, I'm sending it back in favor of a D-Link that does this via the port mapping feature.

Very nice unit. Simple installation with a user friendly interface. I was skeptical of the Linksys brand due to some previous experience with older retail units but this one is far improved from the old. Default firewall settings are rock solid however, if you don't do e-commerce on your LAN you might consider closing the HTTPS port.

When I first bought this router I had a few issues with firmware and such but I have to say after 3 years of uninterrupted service this router can take whatever you can dish out. We use this router in a small business environment of 50 pc's of which I spread the IP's 25 on one line 25 on the other manually and Linksys 8-Port VPN Router is been running free of issues. Firewall works great! VPN works great! everything functions as intended! This router is more reliable than the $5,000 cisco router it replaced, with less worries less hassle and no programming neccessary. Just keep up with the firmware updates and they add new features all the time! Linksys has done good here.

A nice, professional load-balancer/firewall/router device. I replaced my highly problematic Hotbrick LB-2 with an RV082, and it instantly cured many of the problems the LB-2 was showing. When configured to give RTP (UDP port 10,000-20,000) packets High priority, VoIP calls were clear, unjittered, and reliable. Data (web/scp) traffic was fast and responsive. Reconfigures are smooth and reliable (unlike my LB-2). I haven't tried hooking up 2nd broadband in dual-WAN configuration, and I've only had it a short while, but so far it's been a pleasure to use. I think it's a pretty good device for the money.
