At Linksys, we build powerful security into every product, to keep your wired and wireless networks safe. Linksys Small Business Series systems have advanced firewall, encryption and authentication features to protect you from network threats – threats that can seriously disrupt or damage your business by stealing your valuable data, slowing down your network and interfering with business-critical applications. Our systems ensure maximum application availability enabling you to meet corporate governance and business continuance requirements. The Linksys Small Business Series is the affordable, reliable, high quality networking solution that helps you do business smarter. Secure and easy to install and maintain, it’s built to grow with your business.As broadband speeds increase most 10/100 gateways do not have the power to support those higher data rates, and thus become the bottleneck in the network. The RVS4000 10/100/1000 4-Port VPN Router works at Gigabit speeds to meet the demands of today's networks. It features Linksys' proven SPI Firewall with an integrated Intrusion Detection and Prevent System (IDS/IPS).Its built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100/1000 Ethernet switch can connect up four PCs directly, or additional hubs and switches. The QoS features provide consistent voice and video quality throughout your business.In addition the RVS4000 features a Virtual Private Network (VPN) security engine that creates encrypted "IPSec tunnels" through the Internet. The IPSec VPN tunnels enable remote users from at home, or on the road to easily, and securely connect to the office network through a typical wired or wireless broadband connection. When used with another RVS4000 or other Linksys VPN router, "branch-to-branch" connections can be established allowing users in a remote office to connect to the corporate network. Features:• IPSec VPN tunneling for remote user and branch-to-branch connectivity• Stateful Packet Inspection Firewall with network address translation (NAT)• 4-Port 10/100/1000 switch with automatic rate negotiation and automatic MDI/MDIX detection• IDS/IPS network intrution detection and protection services with email alerts - Freesignature updates are provided for one year• User defineable access control lists (ACL) for restricting inbound and outbound traffic flows• QoS support• DHCP Client (WAN) and Server (LAN) with Dynamic DNS support• Easy installation and configuration through the Web Interface and QuickVPN sofware• SNMP v1 and v2c supportSpecifications:• Standards: IEEE802.3, 802.3u, 802.1x, RFC791 (IP Protocol)• Ports: Ethernet, Power• Buttons: Reset• Cabling Type: UTP CAT 5• LEDs: Power, Diag, IPS (Blinks RED - Internal attack, Green - external),• LAN: 1-4, Internet• Operating System: LinuxPerformance• NAT Throughput: 800 Mb/sSetup/Config• WebUI: Built in Web UI for Easy browser-based configuration (HTTP/HTTPS)Management• SNMP Version: SNMP Version 1, 2c• Event Logging: Event Logging: Local, Syslog, E-mail Alerts• Web F/W upgrade: Firmware Upgradable Through Web-Browser• Diags: Flash, etc. Diags: Flash, RAMSecurity• Access Control IP and MAC based Access Control List (ACL)• Firewall Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall• Content Filtering URL blocking, keyword blocking• IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) IP Sweep Detection, Application Anomaly Detection(HTTP, FTP, Telnet, RCP), P2P Control, Instant Messenger Control,• L3-L4 Protocol (IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP) Normalization, L7 Signature Matching• Signature Update Manual download from the web (Free download for 1 year)• Secure Management HTTPS, Username/Password• 802.1x Port-based Radius Authentication (EAP-MD5, EAP-PEAP)QoS• Prioritization types Port-based and Application-based Priority• Queues 4 queuesNetwork• VLAN Support Port-based VLAN• DHCP DHCP Server, DHCP Client, DHCP Relay Agent• DNS DNS Relay, Dynamic DNS (DynDNS, TZO)• NAT PAT, NAPT, ALG support, NAT Traversal• DMZ Software configurable on any LAN port• VPN 5 QuickVPN Tunnels for remote client access- 5 IPSec Gateway-to-Gateway Tunnel for branch office connectivity- 3DES Encryption - MD5/SHA1 Authentication- IPSec NAT-T- VPN Passthrough of PPTP, L2TP, IPSec• Routing: Static and RIP v1,v2Minimum Requirements• Network Adapter With Ethernet Network Cable and TCP/IP Protocol Installed Per PC• Web-Based Configuration Java/Cookies/SSL-Enabled Web Browser

Professional Quality, Pleasing Price

"Setup would have been easier if I had not based it so much on the old router this one replaced. Best bet: accept the default setting initially and save a backup as soon as you get it working, before doing advanced tweaks. When all functioning, save a new backup. This router solved issues we had been having in our office network. Bandwidth management allows us to prioritize database traffic for maximum performan..." Read Full Review »

how to not so good

"the router has all this fancy security and vpn stuff but doesn't explain to a rookie how to use it. IT assume you're an IT professional and know it all... Very annoying since I'm a previous help desk person who now wear about 300 hats running a small business... and I don't have time to research the internet to find out how to set the this vpn network. IT asked for user names and passwords for the vpn set up ..." Read Full Review »

Poor Engineering

★☆☆☆☆
1.0

"This router has ostensibly great features, and the setup was about as simple as it can get with a router. The web interface for configuring it was easy to understand and use, with little need for checking any documentation - there is also help built into the admin web pages on the router. When it's …"  Read Full Review »

Terrible FTP reliability

"I swapped out our previous linksys router for this so we could setup a VPN.

Setting up the VPN was very straight forward and pain free.

BUT

Non-VPN connections inside the building had such terrible reliability with FTP connections to the outside that I had to roll back to the old router and am headi …"  Read Full Review »

★★☆☆☆
2.0

"The feature set of this router looks compelling. It supports VPN and 1GbE connections. However, the design is terribly flawed.



Firstly, any significant changes to the router settings require a complete router reboot. The reboot takes forever and so if you are doing anything complicated, be prepared …"  Read Full Review »

"I just upgrade from linksys BEFVP41 to the Cisco RVS4000 for the VPN capabilities. I could not be happier. Set-up was a little confusing because they do not call some of the settings the same thing any longer, but once I figured it out I have had NO more problems with my citrix enabled VPN tunnel …"  Read Full Review »
