The Bottom Line:
This is an excellent choice for an affordable VPN solution for a home-to-office connection.
This device is a great low-cost router/vpn unit. It provides for all of the standard router/gateway features such as NAT, DHCP Server, and port forwarding/filtering. It is also relatively easy to setup as a VPN connector. The vpn features use IPSec and require at least 1 end of the tunnel to have a valid real-world IP address (the other end can be behind NAT).
The documentation for this device is rather weak, but the built in help menus are fairly informative.
It supports dyndns.org for dynamic dns service.
One major drawback is that Linksys doesn't currently have the newer firmware on their website. In order to get it you have to contact Linksys tech support and ask to have it emailed to you.
There is also a security flaw if you enable remote management, that supposedly can allow an intruder to take control of the router.
