Linksys RVS4000
$130.00
Released June, 2004
The Pros:One of the few times you can find a Gigabit WAN port, handles fast connections. QoS manages multiple streams at high speed over a local network without a problem. Can set a large number of traffic management rules.
The Cons:Requires occasional rebooting, sometimes daily rebooting if VPN functionality is used. Linksys support is frustrating. They require that you have the serial number for your router unit. If you are away from the office and cannot get the serial number, you are out of luck. It does not appear in the admin login on our unit. Need to turn off the security features of the firewall to get proper Gigabit speeds through the WAN.
The Linksys RVS4000 is a 4-port, full-duplex 10/100/1000 Ethernet switch with a Virtual Private Network (VPN) security engine for creating encrypted IPSec tunnels via the Internet. It can connect directly to four PCs, or to additional hubs and switches to create a large business network.

In addition, the RVS4000 utilizes QoS (Quality of Service) to ensure consistent voice and video quality, even if the IP (Internet Provider) is running slow. Most notable about the RVS4000 are its SPI Firewall and Intrusion Protection that provide a thorough barrier, preventing hackers from infiltrating the network. Overall however, the RVS4000 does lack some of the advanced security features that may be needed for a more high-tech network. The Linksys RVS4000 retails for $129.99 and comes with a 1 year limited warranty.
