    Cisco Small Business RV042 4-port VPN Router Product Description

    Network connections are the backbone of business connections. Formerly Linksys Business Series, now Cisco Small Business Routers, the RV042 Virtual Private Networking (VPN) Router supports up to four wired and 50 off-site connections. The latter allows users to connect into your network with secure access to your files and intranet. The RV042 comes with dual Internet ports that can serve as a failsafe system for 24/7 network uptime, or as a secondary connection to a separate Internet provider. Whether they're used for backup or speed boosting, the router's networking hardware will keep bottlenecks away from your network, period.

    Additional features of the RV042 VPN Router include:
    • Up to five users connecting via a Point-to-Point Tunneling protocol
    • Separate Quality of Service (QoS) configurations for each of the individual LAN ports
    • Up to 200Mbps of throughput per full-duplex LAN port
    • Dual Internet ports for load balancing and connection redundancy
    • Secure connections for up to 30 remote office or traveling users via VPN
    • Advanced SPI firewall

    Please note: networking components such as switches, routers, UPS and wireless devices require that speeds & standards be consistent throughout the network to gain optimum performance. To avoid compatibility clashes or for advice, please contact us on solutions@ebuyer.com.

    Works Well
    review by:Stuart Capon rating:
    customer rating
    operating system:Not Applicable

    I bought a few of these and combined with the ADSL2MUE they work well.
    They dont support PPoA that we use in the UK so I use the modem in bridged mode and then use PPoE on the RV042
    (this should be true of the RV082 as well - despite the old review on that one)

    It may pay to set the MTU manually on these items (dead easy - one of the firewall setings) some ISP's work fine others need the setting lowered (for plus.net try 1478)
    Some symptoms of wrong MTU is that you can Ping a site but cant open it with web browser, browsing dies after a short time or email attachments wont go.

    The latest firmware adds a decent PPTP endpoint that seems to work well.

    I'll try the load balancing soon so that could be a feature that is very hard to get elsewhere for this sort of cost.

    The VPN does not require client licenses (compare that with some others)

    I'd give it five stars if it had QOS, Vlan or more traffic info.
