Cisco Small Business RV082 10/100Mbps 8-Port VPN Router
Cons:You must look elsewhere for documentation.

Pros:Once you have read all the documentation on the web (the included docs are useless) the Quick VPN feature is excellent.
Comment:
It does what it says, and does it well. Interestingly, this hardware should support newer versions of DD-WRT, although, I use this in a business environment, and will stick with DD-WRT on the WRT54GL.For those of you who expect it to load balance and increase your internet speed by using two ISP's, you will be sorely disappointed. This is not the fault of the router however, but how TCP/IP works. Dual lines will *NOT* lower your latency, but only (depending on circumstance) your bandwidth. In order to accomplish this, you would need a dual-homed IP, and those are expensive and hard to come by.So, the dual-internet connection is for redundancy, not speed. Keep that in mind.

Cisco Small Business RV082 10/100Mbps 8-Port VPN Router
Cons:none.

Pros:Awesome unit, network is much faster and more reliable than the old SMC router that it replaced. Logging into it via http: even shows a picture of what is plugged in and where. Not a single regret despite the price.
Comment:
I'd buy it again, but the only thing I would have liked to change if it was up to me, is the dual internet connection . . . Too bad it doesn't increase connection speed joining the two connections making them double as fast. Instead of just spread the bandwidth load between the two.

Cisco Small Business RV082 10/100Mbps 8-Port VPN Router
Cons:None so far

Pros:Dual WAN Inputs, 8 VLAN ports, Configuration parameters that blow away any routewr under $1000.
Comment:
We are using 2 high speed interent modems and balance the load for our users between them. If one modem should fail, the other picks up the load. The configuration feels like a router 3x the price. We have more security and better traffic flow and we did not have to spend $2000. to do it.In sea of products under $100 or over $1500, this is the only router in the middle.
