Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Firewall Router with 4-Port Switch/VPN Endpoint

Pros: It works , sometimes

Cons: Very unstable

Summary: This device is used for firewall, and internet connection sharing for a small office with DSL. When we tried to set up a gateway to gateway VPN, the unit keeps losing internet connection and will not reconnect. The device will get an IP address from the ISP, will issue address's to the workstations on the network. From inside the network you can ping an address, and a domain name. If you tracert the unit will reset with red lights, taking 2 - 5 minutes to reboot. The only fix right now is it run the Linksys NETSET software. Reloading the firmware, nor resetting the device to factory fixes the problem. The firmware is over 14 months old, so Linksys may be finished with updates on this device. The VPN is not able to connect. The company I work for plans on replacing this device within the next couple of weeks. This problem has happened twice now, Linksys tech support says to run the NETSET program to fix the problem, instead of fixing what is causing the problem.
