We needed to set up a VPN to our remote hosting site, and this router did the trick. It’s very reliable (we have gone through 3 Linksys WRT54G routers, I guess they’re not up to non-home conditions), and uses the normal Cisco router commands. It also has a limited web interface.

This little router is packed with tons of features. My only issue is that the device does not support extra VLAN’s and you cannot configure subinterfaces on the the 4 switchport LAN interfaces.
Great SOHO router with more features than you can ever use but not a great LAB router due above reasons.
I wouldn’t suggest this device to users that do not know IOS.
