I've always used Cisco commercial routers and the RV042 lives up to Cisco's reputation. I use the VPN system on the router and connect to a WAP4400N wireless access point. I would recommend this router if you are looking to use a VPN for external access. I've had a number of Cisco products over the years and never had an issue with any of them.

A little older, but still a solid router. If you have less than 100mbps from your ISP this works great. Allows for 30 NAT routes and dual WAN. Still have these in use in several small offices.

Pro: Hooked up easy. Easy to understand. Was able to setup in about 15 min, even with port routing. Con: VPN is still not working, but I suspect it is my fault. So many choices, its hard to figure out what to do, but then again, I am not a pro at VPN. Also, the powersupply gets pretty hot. All in all, this router is great. It has fall back if one internet connection dies, a simple interface and a small package.
Ancient, but still works fine for what I needed to do. The software doesn't support a bunch of the modern VPN security requirements I run into, but it does what I need it to for some older systems.

Simplicity of installation and configuration was amazing. Managing port priorities and providing for failover or load balanced internet access from 2 different broadband sources was just a dream a little while back. Add some power, plug some cables and match up configuration selections from a prior single WAN router, and... BAM! Done! Kids enjoy gaming and I like to have sufficient bandwidth to take care of business needs. Enabling the load balancing option helped keep lots of traffic moving through the internet with little hassle. Where we did have issues were with a certain VOIP (voice over internet protocol) device. The ability to load balance, somehow created a send on one modem and a receive on the other, basically disabling the ability to use the phone service through the VOIP. There may be a work around for this, but, we ended up connecting the VOIP device directly to the modem and this dual WAN router was connected to that VOIP router. We have had unusual behaviors in a handful of secured sites, as well. I suspect it is an issue similar to what we experienced with the VOIP routers. As the load balancer splits the send and receive requests, I am not sure if the receiving entity vetting the security can maintain their security token. In 99% of the cases, the device works well better than expected. Those 1% of the time incidents, however, become pretty frustrating. In hopes I (and others) can figure the proper work arounds for the secure sites, I give this two thumbs up. Good luck!Read full review
