Cisco 10/100 8-Port VPN Router

Satisfied

After reading the previous users comment he is right, this is not designed for the casual networking user, this, although it is a Linksys product is meant to be set up by a trained network professional, most IT Consultants, that I have come across don't even know where to begin, this is a fantastic product, but you will need someone who know what they are doing to set it up, ensure they are Cisco Qualified as well! Albeit I do recommend this product for the small network office!

main things to remember set your adsl wired modem to rfc mode not ppoa or ppoe ill repeat rfc bridge mode then access your router usually 192.168.1.1 login admin password admin goto setup goto setup if your modem on wan connection do this in wan section otherwise in 2nd line section pull down connection type put rfc.... then type your isp login details in login then type yourpassowrd in password if you ahve been told to use a specific mtu (usllay 1492 or 1472 or 1458 or 1432 or for aol 1400) for your internet key nin manual on mtu otherwise leave on auto next click save there are other functions on router but the manual /help will teach you this firewall works nd takes less than 5 minutes to setup if struggel ring/email lynksys/cisco they have guides on setup hope this helps andy

Contrary to the other reviews we installed the 4 port version of this router (RV042) which I think is the same as the RV082 but minus 4 ports and had absolutely no problem setting the whole thing up. I cant see what is so difficult about this, if your professional IT consultant doesnt know where to start with this I would find another consultant. You get an awful lot for your money with these routers, ours works great and offers excellent performance and reliability for small businesses who rely heavily on internet access. If the RV082 is completely different to the RV042 and is impossible to setup then I take it all back and apologise!
