Personally hv had this item for few months by now, and it pretty much matches my expectation so far. It’s easy to conf., and surely easy to use. I don’t need to dig into the user manual and study it for finding how to use it. That’s why I’m giving out 5 starts on this one.

I bought one Linksys WRV54G before and wanna get another VPN router to create VPN Tunnel connections between my home and office. WRV200 works pretty good on my position. I also generate 4 BSSID for different usages. I like it indeed. I am gonna try it’s QoS later, I don’t want my game to be blocked because one business call.

My netgear VPN wired router recently died and I decided to go wireless. I decided on this router because of the good price and features. I have to say I’m very impressed so far. I use this router to connect multiple computers to my works VPN from home and it works great. The wireless reception is excellent! Within 10 minutes I had setup all my computers and everything was working good. I’m looking forward to experimenting with the other features of this router and will update my comments if I run into any issues down the road but so far I’m very happy with this purchase.

Easy to set up and secure. Has a good range but wished it was a little stronger on the signal out put.

Installed easily, worked fine. I’m a pretty experienced user and had some complex requirements (like wanting a router which could act as a VPN server). I’ve had no problems at all with it.
The only limitation I’ve noticed is that it does not seem able to remap port numbers when doing port forwarding so, for example, if you forward port 1234, it’s exposed to the Internet as 1234. This can be tricky if you want to forward the same server (and thus, same port) from 2 systems.

The feature set vs. the price for this device is unbelieveable. However, the firmware was very buggy. Starting with version 1.0.20 of the firmware, there are only a couple of problems with it – most of the issues are involved when making IPSEC tunnels. Any public firmware release before that is crap. Wait for a new firmware release after 1.0.20 and see if the problems are still there before purchasing. I’m convinced the new firmware release will make the the WRV200 THE VPN Endpoint to get.
The biggest issues still left – all involving issues when IPSEC VPN tunnels are made:
PPPoE connections cannot be used and pass traffic over the 1. vpn tunnel.
2. the wireless cannot be used or the unit will reboot over and over again.
This isn’t buyer beware by any means. Just wait for newer firmware and the product will be worthwhile.

I have a WRV200 for my office, wireless connection with WPA2 just works fine and its handy VPN is good as well.
I’ve began consider where to buy another one, and just put it for my house networking.
It might be too many reboot processes, but this is a new product in Linksys wireless vpn router, I would believe that Linksys will have new firmware to fix this problem if they really care about customers’s feedback.
This is a cheaper stuff, and it is also a combination of wireless and IPSec VPN. Compare this ($67) one’s vpn with at least “$150″ RV0x series, wrv200 seems to just miss some minor functions. I also feel its vpn configuration and vpn summary page are very fast and helpful as a vpn router.

I used to have to reboot the router once a week to get a stable connectivity to the internet. Now with the firmware 1.0.32.2, the problem is gone. I have 2 laptops connected to the router via wireless, and a D-Link VoIP adapter (provided by Vonage) connected via Ethernet port, everything is working great. I don’t see any issue with FTP – I have been using Limewire client and Windows FTP client regularly.

The latest firmware is now v1.0.20. So far, the product is working as advertsied utilizing the VPN tunnel, router, and Wi-Fi. I would suggest that any of the earlier reveiwers that may still own this product, update there firmware to the latest firmware. In addition, also update the VPN client to the latest version supplied on the wrv200 website from Linksys.
I will continue to test the product further for stability, and post any new findings here.

Well, I have now been using this product in a WAN environment in two locations for well over a month. Both routers are performing flawlessly. At this point, I am not sure why the other reviewies have had such problems unless it was due to earlier versions of the firmware. I can say that with the current firmware, and the current Linksys QuickVPN client, that the routers are working as advertised. I hope this helps.
