Pros: Very easy to setup secure point-to-point VPN connections. OK phone support. from Newegg.com Pros: Very easy to setup secure point-to-point VPN connections. OK phone support. from Newegg.com Pros: Excellent router. had one running without trouble for over 4 years on my network with game servers and other high bandwidth programs. from Newegg.com Pros: Excellent router. had one running without trouble for over 4 years on my network with game servers and other high bandwidth programs. from Newegg.com The Linksys BEFVP41 is perfect for remotely accessing a small home network with a static IP address. The connections are secure and the setup is extremely easy. from Amazon.com In typical Linksys fashion, the firmware is the achilles heal...they just don't seem to be able to release a stable, reliable firmware for any of their devices and seem to just give up on ever fixing some of them. I've been using a V1 release of this unit for about 3 1/2 years now. from Amazon.com Pros: Lots of features, fairly simple setup, VPN, flow control, etc. Good performance. from Newegg.com Pros: Lots of features, fairly simple setup, VPN, flow control, etc. Good performance. from Newegg.com Linksys markets this unit as having a VPN server that you can use to access the network it's connected to remotely (ie connect to your office network from your home computer). But be wary that this is not a simple task, is nearly undocumented, and may require additional 3rd party software if you have Windows XP Home edition. from Amazon.com Pros: This product smokes the standard 41 series router. This is a nice upgrade. from Newegg.com
