I have a small business and currently use Linksys EA 6500, it is a good router but is a consumer level router not for business. I read very different reviews for RV220W. I need a secure router and I have 5 users at office. Is this product recommended?...

Five users shouldn't be a problem. They have decent tech support. My only beef if the SSL VPN doesn't work due to software issues. The IPSec vpn works just fine and the router has some decent security options. I use the VPN every day and its solid from that perspective.

I've had mine since 7/28/13 and have not regretted buying it even once. No problems whatsoever in that time. Might be the first router that I can say that about over a year later.

WD is a newcomer to the router business. They are known for Hard drives. I bought their new router and paired it with the matching extender. I recently bought a new router. Their devices are not mature items yet and I struggled with them. Look elsewhere.

RV042's are great routers...and these WAP are awesome too. I have used that combo several times. Ive never used a Cisco switch though so can not comment on that. Cant see it being an issue.

For me, it was overkill. I really enjoy the simplicity of a traditional Biesemeyer style fence. But there are plenty of people who love the micro-adjustability and repeatability. To your point, I think those same traits are most welcome on the router table. I don't own the router version myself but have used it many times at the William Ng School. Works very well in that application. But again, it's all going to come down to personal preference.

Here is my personal view. CISCO routers are amongst the most difficult routers to configure and especially with Apple Devices. I had 02 and I gave up and bought an Apple Airport. Not only are the Routers (E2000 and the Wireless Extender) challenging to set up, they also keep crashing which requires constant work and setting up. So do yourself a favour and choose a different router. You can look at Apple (seamless integration) or ASUS or any other robust brand. I personally will never buy CISCO again.

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately I have already returned the DIR 655. Secure Spot....Hmmmm. Not quite sure what that is. Unfortunate that when I contacted D-Link about the problem that they did not mention this. Seems odd that the router would work with all of the computers on the wireless network, but would not work with the BD 390. Oh well, guess I will purchase another router and try again.Thanks again

I've been using it for over a year with few problems. However, I don't have a great mounting location, so the signal degrades after about 30' through walls, books, wires, etc. I tried the new Cisco E4200 and the performance is worse. I discovered that the stronger signal gives the greatest bandwidth. I assume that weaker signals have more dropout and therefore are slower. I tried using it with the DAP-1360, but the extender was in a bad location and the speed was slow. I have 20M dn/4M up cable modem, works great closer to my office, but speeds slow down in the family room: 3-10M up/0.5-3M up. Bottom line: since the speed in family room is better wine: since the speed in family room is better with DIR-655 than E4200, I assume the 655 has bett

This was a router that was recommended that I use with the company Strongvpn.com. I also lived overseas and they provided me with a US IP address. It made my life very comfortable. I was able to get US satellite channels. They also have IP addresses in a bunch of other first world countries. check them out. for me they were worth every penny (BTW, they weren't very expensive).

Linksys has no intentions of opening this router to open source. See http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/linksys/wrt1900ac. Damn shame as I *had* it in my wish list.

Hmm I wish I had gotten this one then.Belkin N+ is a good router though and we haven't had any problems with it whatsoever.I would recommend it. But I'm thinking the version2 of this linksys is better.

I really like my Buffalo AirStation. It is the best no issue at allhttp://www.buffalotech.com/products/wireless/dual-band-routers/airstation-extreme-ac-1200-gigabit-dual-band-wireless-router

These things are flaky. As far as wireless I could get 6-8 reliably. Anything more than that and it tends to lock up and die. I would look at anything but the rv series from Cisco.

This is an enterprise device. IF you are not sure if it is a modem or not then you would far far better off purchasing a consumer level product. You are not going to understand how to even log in to this device. It is a full power router with expansion slot space. You can install various EHWICs of your choice such as a cable modem module, several hundred dollars, wireless etc.... you would be far far better off purchasing something that is consumer level unless you have formal training in Cisco products and IOS operating system.

FYI i ordered this router and received it a few days ago. it is in fact a Version2 model. U can tell by the red sides and top on the box. It installed flawlessly and has been up and running with both bands for 3 days without incident. I think you will find the woes everyone have had were mostly with the version 1 rendering as my experience with the most recent version has been excellent. Dont let the bad reviews fool u or scare u away. Linksys now has their act together on this router. also be sure to use the included software as instructed. Its easy.

Rockler has great router tables that won't break the bank. I have one and i love it. They have a throat plate that is specifay designed for this router which makes installing it extremely easy because the holes in the plate line up with the holes in the router. Honestly any router table would work with this router (woodpecker, jess-em etc.) but these can be a bit pricey.

I don't know if I would necessarily draw the conclusion that the router is no good. Wireless network setup can befuddle most novice users (and can even make experienced users pull their hair out). The #1 mistake most of the reviewers on here make is that they don't upgrade the firmware as the first step. That goes for any router though. It took me about 2 days of research before deciding in this router. I just ordered it though, and it won't arrive until Wednesday, so I can't give you my feedback on it yet.
