Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Voice Router is the perfect solution for connecting a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet connection or a 10/100 Ethernet backbone--and it features Voice over IP telephone calls powered by Net2Phone. With the EtherFast Cable/DSL Voice Router installed, no other special hardware is necessary for telephone calls. An ordinary telephone connects to the RJ-11 port (telephone jack) on the back of the EtherFast Cable/DSL Voice Router, and calls are routed by Net2Phone's superior quality network to anywhere in the world--significantly reducing long distance charges.
Configurable as a DHCP server for your existing network, the EtherFast Cable/DSL Voice Router acts as the only externally recognized Internet gateway on your LAN. The EtherFast Cable/DSL Voice Router can be configured to filter internal users' access to the Internet and serve as an Internet firewall against unwanted outside intruders. Not only does it make Internet access available for up to 253 PCs on the network, it also adds an additional voice phone line for outgoing calls at no extra cost. None of your PCs even have to be turned on to make calls. The EtherFast Cable/DSL Voice Router handles all of your network and telephony needs in one integrated unit.

Works great,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cisco-Linksys BEFN2PS4 EtherFast Cable/DSL Voice Router (Personal Computers)
I've got 2 10baseT computers on a separate hub, connected to the Uplink port of the Linksys, then 1 100baseT laptop and a 10baseT desktop connected directly to the Linksys. The Linksys is connected to the cable modem, and all 4 computers have high speed internet access. I also have a telephone connected to the Linksys, which gives me cheap net2phone calls over the internet, with no computer involved. Everything works great, but to get net2phone to work I had to set the Linksys to use the static IP the cable company gave me to connect to the internet, rather than allowing the cable company to randomly assign the Linksys an IP with DHCP. But all my computers on the network are randomly assigned IPs by the Linksys, since the Linksys is also a DHCP server.

Good budget router,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cisco-Linksys BEFN2PS4 EtherFast Cable/DSL Voice Router (Personal Computers)
This is a good router for a small business/office LAN since it is also a switch - even make things better. The interface via web browser is easy to use, however, it would be nicer if Linksys provided a telnet console option to the router. THe VoIP feature is great, I use it almost daily for my long distance calling in the US. I wouldn't recommend using it to call internation though, it's not Linksys's fault but Net2Phone's fault. THe international voice quality is noticeable lower than that of a regular phone or phone card. So if you do a lot of int'l calling, the VoIP feature with Net2phone will not please you. Otherwise, it is a great choice.

VOIP hits mainstream phone service,
This review is from: Cisco-Linksys BEFN2PS4 EtherFast Cable/DSL Voice Router (Personal Computers)
I bought this plugged it in to my network then plugged a cordless phone in and started making phone calls. The rate of 3.9 cents a minute was much cheaper than my other second line and its about the same quality so I canceled my second phone line. I guess this is where voice over IP is going. Works just like a regular phone... that's the way it should be...
