Linksys RV082
$260.00
Released June, 2004
The Pros:Load balances the connection via QoS, makes sure all streams stay consistent. Firewall is feature-rich enough for most purposes. Reliable performance appropriate for a work environment (after firmware update).
The Cons:When the MTU setting in the Firewall is set to Auto it can severely choke the throughput of the connection with the ISP. Stability issues are common until you download and install the firmware updates. VPN connections are complicated to set up and work with.
The Linksys RV082 is an advanced 8-port VPN router for handling the network needs of a small business. A step up from the RV042, the Linksys RV082 offers a superior Virtual Private Network (VPN) that allows up to 50 (versus 30) remote users to securely connect from faraway locations.

In addition, the RV082 lets the user connect a second Internet line as a backup to ensure a permanent and non-disturbed connection. Much like its predecessor, the RV082 can serve as a DHCP server, and also includes a powerful SPI firewall to protect users from intruders and hacker attacks. Additional features of the Linksys RV082 VPN router include user-access filtering, IP filtering, and web-based router configurations. The Linksys RV082 retails for $259.99 and comes with a 1 year limited warranty.
