As I mentioned before, I like Linksys products for lots of things, but they have always tested weak in relation to IPSec VPN throughput.
I would strongly recommend against using them unless you have seen numbers that show a particular model to be comparitively better than similar competitor models. Its only because of weak encryption horsepower. If you can, always try to get something with a secondary processor that is reserved for encryption processing. -- ME2 On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 8:30 PM, Gene Giannamore <gene.giannam...@abideinternational.com> wrote: > Its funny, because of a few Linksys routers, they were advertising 50 or even > 70 vpns.
