Linksys BEFVP41
$120.00
Released June, 2004
The Pros:VPN tunnels are easy to set up as long as you follow the guidelines. Setup directions are very simple. Capable of a wide range of advanced router functions, good for power users.
The Cons:Lots of problems with it if you don't carefully follow directions, not very flexible. Newer firmware is slightly less stable than the older firmware. MTU settings need to be adjusted to get games to work right.
The Linksys BEFVP41 is an advanced Cable/DSL router with a 4-port 10/100 switch for sharing wired connectivity throughout a small household or business. It stands out against weaker models (BEFSR41/ BEFSR81) due to its heavy security features, such as DES/3DES encryption algorithms, MD5/SHA authentication algorithms, and IKE key management.
