This review is from: Cisco RV082 8-port 10/100 VPN Router - Dual WAN (Personal Computers) Okay, this will be brief and is being posted only as helpful hint rather than an indepth review.
If your speeds are fine when directly connected to your ISP, but are slow or unstable when running through the RV082 try the following: Under the firewall tab, there is an MTU setting. You MUST take this off of Auto and use the manual setting. In my case the default manual setting of 1500 is what I needed. This solved the incredible slowdown problems I was having - in fact now I have the best speeds I have ever seen on my network. Thanks to "Lone Stranger" and the Google search in which I found his post for finally providing me with this answer after hours of frustration. No thanks to linksys email support, who was of no use at all. The manufacturer commented on this review(What's this?)

I bought it anyway because it is the cheapest router around with dual WAN and load balancing. Despite some of the earlier review, I am happy to report that I found everything worked including VPN, firewall, 1 to 1 NAT. And, they all worked fine together with one exception (see below).But, I did find the router to be very unstable. In the last 2 months of operations, I have had to reset it at least a dozen times. In most cases, it either failed to route, assign DHCP addresses, connect VPN or the web interface failed to respond. And, it always requires a power down cold start. I am beginning to think the reset button on the front is for decoration only. This doesn't include the hundred of times that I have to reset the unit during configuration.

There have been a couple firmware upgrades released since you purchased the router that may resolve the stability issues you experienced. You can download the software here: http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/relea This is the first we've heard about requiring auto-load-balance mode to keep both WANs up. Did you enable VPN backup?

Strengths: Load balanced Internet connection options are great. Decent firewall. Weaknesses: VPN is a little complicated to connect to from xp/2000 Client. Have to play with the IPSec settings. I am using the RV042 and a RV082 to connect an office in the US with an office in East Europe. The VPN is working perfectly. - Excellent performance. - Very reliable. |
