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.
