The Linksys 10/100 8-Port VPN Router is an advanced Internet-sharing network solution for your small business needs. Like any router, it lets multiple computers in your office share an Internet connection. But the unique dual Internet ports on the 10/100 8-Port VPN Router let you connect a second Internet line as a backup to insure that you're never disconnected. Or, use both Internet ports at the same time, and let the router balance your office's requirements between them for maximum bandwidth efficiency.The 10/100 8-Port VPN Router also features a built-in 8-port full-duplex 10/100 Ethernet switch to connect eight PCs directly, or you can connect more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need.The Virtual Private Network (VPN) capability creates encrypted "tunnels" through the Internet, allowing up to 50 remote offices or traveling users to securely connect into your office network from off-site. Users connecting through a VPN tunnel are attached to your company's network - with secure access to files, e-mail, and your intranet - just as if they were in the building. You can also use the VPN capability to allow users on your small office network to securely connect out to a corporate network.The 10/100 8-Port VPN Router can serve as a DHCP Server, and has a powerful SPI firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks. It can be configured to filter internal users' access to the Internet, and has IP address filtering so you can specify exactly who has access to your network. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility.As the heart of your small office network, the connection-redundant Linksys 10/100 8-Port VPN Router gives you the connection reliability your business needs.

Stable and fast dual WAN VPN router

This is the third Linksys RV082 I have bought, and they are all used to connect several sites securely. Good performers even with high-grade encryption enabled, relatively simple VPN tunnel setup, good recovery from link outages, nice load balancing features for dual WAN links, and very good total system availability. Especially considering the price and the throughput this is a very good deal. The typos in the GUI and the manual luckily don't contribute much to setup challenges if you know what you are doing.

Not for the Amature

Overall the router is relatively fast. The VPN options are plentifull, but beware if you are not experienced with VPN you will have to put some time into learning and configuring VPN. For remote connectivity simplicity, you can use the quick VPN client, but that requires software installed on the remote client. I also liked the unit because it has a backup port that can be used in case your primary broadband connection fails or you can load balance between the two WAN ports. With that said, I am a home user and really don't have a need for the backup /load balancing functionality, but I'm a sucker for technology.
