| The Bottom Line | The BEFSX41 is an affordable solution for those who need secure access to their home or office network via the Internet. | It's hard to go wrong with the EtherFast router, but if you do, you'll wish you had a longer warranty. | The WRV54G puts the cart before the horse, providing lots of VPN tunnels without covering fundamental wireless-security bases. | The Cisco RV110W Wireless-N VPN Firewall would make a very good investment for a small business that needs an easy VPN solution for remote employees. | The Linksys E4200 v2 makes a great upgrade to the original version and an excellent investment for those who need a fast, feature-rich, advanced, yet easy-to-use router for the home or even a small business. |
