Product Description

Product Description

The Wireless-G VPN Broadband Router is the advanced, complete networking solution for your small business, incorporating four essential networking functions in one high-powered box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect Wireless-G (802.11g) or Wireless-B (802.11b) devices to the network. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices. Connect four PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to more hubs and switches to create as big a network as you need.Third, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection. And finally, the Virtual Private Network (VPN) function creates encrypted "tunnels" through the Internet so up to 50 remote or traveling users can securely connect to your office network from off-site, or users in your branch office can connect to a corporate network.To protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G VPN Broadband Router can encrypt all wireless transmissions with 128-bit WEP encryption, and also supports the industrial-strength wireless security of 802.1x authentication and authorization. The Router can serve as a DHCP Server, and has a powerful SPI firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks. It can be configured to filter internal users' access to the Internet, and has MAC or IP address filtering so you can specify exactly who has access to your network. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility.As the center point of your office network, the Linksys Wireless-G VPN Broadband Router gives you the flexibility, speed, and security you need.

2.0 out of 5 stars VPN functionality doesn't quite work..., May 18, 2004
By Dennis Mabrey (Whitehouse Station, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I bought this item from Amazon even though the reviews I read were less than stellar. I just assumed most of the problems were user configuration errors. After all.... it is easy to mess up a VPN configuration, especially if you are using Windows IPSEC policies because the UI for setting that up can be a little misleading.

However after setting it up in my home lab I discovered that... it just didn't work as a VPN device. I connect with a VPN client called SSH Sentinel (it is a little dated but works on every other VPN I have used). I could get a connection fine but it refused to route traffic inside the LAN at all. Even setting up the route recommended by Linksys it still would not work.

So I decided not to give up yet and searched out Google groups for people who have solved this issue and I found... no one. Everyone complained at the constant problems with each firmware release and the inability to VPN into the router properly. I was surprised because quite frankly all the other linksys hardware I have work great. I rarely have any problems with their print server, kvm switches and other routers... why in the world would Linksys drop the ball on this product.

Well it seems this particular router is different than any of Linksys's other routers because it is running an embedded version of Linux. It would seem that Linksys and this Linux vendor are having some big difficulties getting this thing to work and perhaps it got pushed out the door too soon.

Well I went out and bought a cheaper BEFVP41 VPN router from Linksys (it is not wireless but I had a spare WAP-G) and I was able to get a VPN connection the first time.

So.. if you buy this router to VPN into your home network you will have some serious problems. I also had some flaky wireless problems with it but I must admit... after reading all the problems with this model I put the thing back in the box and bought something else that works...

I hope this isn't the end of Linksys putting out good products and being responsive to their clients...

1.0 out of 5 stars Had major issues trying to use this router, November 9, 2003
By Steven Cagney "montee4" (Roselle, IL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I currently have a WRT54G wireless 54G router and wanted to upgrade to the WRV54g for the VPN feature.

The minute I plugged in the WRV54G I had problems. I have a WPC54G Wireless PC card, a WET54G Wireless Bridge, and a WMA11B Wireless media adapter (all Linksys products) that all work great with my WRT54G router. The only client I could get to work with the WRV54G was my wireless pc card. I never was able to figure out why. since every client had the exact same configuration when working with my WRT54G.

I also had an issue with my FTP server. When an outside machine would connect, the router would lose internet access and then would have to be rebooted.

I was never able to get the VPN working either. The directions are very confusing and there are too many variables that can cause an issue and it is very hard to troubleshoot.

My recommendation is to stick to the WRT54G wireless router until Linksys gets some updated firmware to fix these problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm glad my boss is willing to take risks, October 13, 2005
By Watson (Arizona, USA) - See all my reviews
So, I was really against this product. The reviews were terrible for it. But there was a couple of reviews which claimed that the product did ok with the new firmware release. So... my boss was wanted VPN, wireless so he decided to get this router anyway despite the reviews. I was against this.

So...I got it, installed it. The vpn server was easy as sin to setup. As long as you have a static ip address, and know a little bit about networking you should be fine. The vpn at first had non - reliable connectivity. However, that turned out to be our ISP (satellite connection), and since we've got a new ISP (DSL) everything works perfect. The vpn is great, easy and having wireless is nice too. I had the vpn server downloading things for 3 hours without any connectivity issues.

This router is being used for a small business of about ten machines under it. Just FYI. Works great. Hasn't died yet (1 month)

Hope this helps. Oh, latest firmware a must.
