From any windows machine out there you just IP address] and log in with a username and password that you set up for yourself. Pros: VPN interface is extremely easy to use.
#CISCO SMALL BUSINESS ROUTERS REVIEW UPDATE#
Finally - as with most of these SOHO router, make sure you update the firmware to the latest rev - some earlier rev's on this model had some trouble. if only 1 router to router tunnel is an issue for you go with teh RV series and use PPTP for client connections since it's the next easiest to config VPN.
#CISCO SMALL BUSINESS ROUTERS REVIEW PC#
Overall Review: If you want a router that makes it VERY simple for you to VPN to it then this is the router for you since it requires the least amount of work on the client PC since there is no fat VPN client. Gig Ethernet would be nice but all the previous things would be a higher priority to get. No wireless so you must have a separate device. VPN is active X so it only works with IE on Windows (no MAC or Linux support, allthough I hear there is beta firmware to take care of other OS support).

I purchased this because I wanted to VPN into my home with my work laptop that had the Cisco VPN client installed and I didn't want to add a the LinkSys VPN fat client due to some stating they had issues with 2 VPN clients loaded, so I opted for SSL VPN which works great! The router also has a slew of features like QOS which is nice if you run VOIP at home, VLANs if you run a DMZ server or want some separation plus a bunch of other things I haven't looked at.Ĭons: Only supports 1 router to router VPN tunnel which only allows you to tie in 1 branch office if you are a small biz. Pros: This was easy to configure for basic setup and specifically the SLL VPN. Either get the beta firmware or disable IP based security on the Exchange server. Normally the spam bot would have been denied and moved on to try another IP because I wouldn't allow external IP's to relay (only internal .x), however the firmware bug made all the inbound SMTP requests appear to be sourced from the routers internal IP 192.168.1.1 so the Exchange server allowed all the SPAM to be forwarded - essentially the firmware bug turns a normally secure default config Exchange server into an open relay. When Spam bots discovered I had SMTP forwarded to the internal IP of my server they forwarded about 15,000 spams a day for 9 days before I figured it out. The default allows the exchange server to trust the internal private network IPs as well as authenticated machines. Overall Review: The bug mentioned above burned me on a new SBS2003 server I was setting up - specifically the Exchange part of it where the default setting usually works fine. It can be corrected by loading latest beta firmware 1.1.5 which I had to do. This sucks if you want to configure security to trust all internal private .x. BIG problem for people who want to port forward: latest firmware release has a bug that shows the target device which gets forwarded to in your private .x network (say an FTP or email server) the inside IP of the router rather than the real source IP.
If you are a beginner the default settings pretty much do everything you need so you can ignore the advanced options.Ĭons: It would be nice if it was GB ports and had wireless at least optionally. Pros: SSL VPN is cake to setup and works great for me!
