Review on Cisco-Linksys BEFSR81 πŸ”€ Cable/DSL Router with 8-Port Switch by Philip Anderson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Costs money. having some problems with ipsec/vpn

I bought one for my home network. My house is connected to a Cat5e network and I have a broadband att cable. The device is quickly configured and NAT works great. It literally took me 10 minutes to get everything working. The problem is my company's VPN software (Cisco). The 8 port device has a fragmentation issue that is causing some issues, so I need to disable ipsec over NAT. (fixed in 4-port version). Also, this device only supports one active IPsec session, so only one computer can be connected to the office at a time. :(

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Reliability
