Product Description
Protection of your network is a mission critical activity. Linksys builds powerful security into every product to keep your wired and wireless networks safe. Linksys Small Business Series systems have advanced firewall, encryption and authentication features to protect you from network threats - threats that can seriously disrupt or damage your business by stealing your valuable data, slowing down your network and interfering with business-critical applications. Linksys systems ensure maximum application availability enabling you to meet corporate governance and business continuance requirements. The Linksys Small Business Series is the affordable, reliable, high quality networking solution that helps you do business smarter. Secure and easy to install and maintain, it's built to grow with your business.As broadband speeds increase most 10/100 gateways do not have the power to support those higher data rates, and thus become the bottleneck in the network. The RVS4000 10/100/1000 4-Port VPN Router works at Gigabit speeds to meet the demands of today's networks. It features Linksys' proven SPI Firewall with an integrated Intrusion Detection and Prevent System (IDS/IPS). Its built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100/1000 Ethernet switch can connect up four PCs directly, or additional hubs and switches. The QoS features provide consistent voice and video quality throughout your business.In addition, the RVS4000 features a Virtual Private Network (VPN) security engine that creates encrypted "IPSec tunnels" through the Internet. The IPSec VPN tunnels enable remote users from at home, or on the road to easily, and securely connect to the office network through a typical wired or wireless broadband connection. When used with another RVS4000 or other Linksys VPN router, "branch-to-branch" connections can be established allowing users in a remote office to connect to the corporate network.

 Not suitable for business use September 6, 2008
Kevin McMurtrie (Silicon Valley, CA USA)
Be vary careful with the RVS4000. It's in the "Business Series" of RVxxx routers but it's stripped of all business class features. Most glaring is no support for multiple WAN IP addresses commonly provided with business class Internet.
What you get is a one-to-many NAT, firewall with traffic inspection, VPN service, QoS rules, a 4 port gigabit switch, and a gigabit uplink port. Only the 4 port switch functions with NAT disabled.
Web-based configuration is very elegant and the help pages actually help. Too many basic settings require a lengthy reboot. Expect to spend the first 30 minutes of ownership watching a progress bar and blinking LEDs.
My test of throughput from LAN to LAN via DMZ yielded about 15Mbps with the firewall on and about 25Mbps with the firewall off. There were moments when it was much faster but it sputtered and stalled too often to maintain a good average. Linksys claims an amazing NAT throughput of 800Mbps that I couldn't reproduce. LAN to LAN across the switch was faster than I could test. With the default configuration, no LANs could access the Internet while the DMZ was serving data. I didn't hang on to this router long enough to see if QoS rules would fix that.
This isn't the "Business Series" performance I expected. It certainly couldn't support a small satellite office with Business DSL. It's lacking even for a home router.

Do not buy this product. Search the web for 'rvs4000 ftp'. You will see that you cannot ftp through this router. Worse yet, Linksys doesn't care. They have made no effort to fix it and don't even respond to customers about the issue.
 Excellent purchase August 17, 2008

If you want a router with excellent usability, perfect ease of operation and simple enough anyone can figure out how to use it, this is the one. Its powerful, yet not so complicated a fairly good computer person can figure it out. Its a great router.
"R" in RVS4000 stands for RESET July 7, 2008

Router is always freezing. VPN is very hard to make work. Made my awful Netgear look stable. If you buy this, send it back quickly. Every change in the setup takes forever to save. Router has to reboot each time. Help is no help. You would think a Cisco company would make better equipment.
Do not buy a RVS4000 as it has problems June 8, 2008

This router does not do FTP through the router even though the manual says it should. The performance for HTTP is very slow. Everything else is functional, though.
