The Instant Broadband EtherFast Cable/DSL VPN Router from Linksys is the ideal solution for remotely accessing a network securely over the Internet using cutting edge encryption and authentication methods.
Built from the popular standard Linksys 4Port Router Model BEFSR41, the BEFVP41 VPN Router expands its functionality and security features by utilizing 56-bit DES and 168-bit 3DES encryption, and Internet Key Exchange (IKE). A built-in IPSec coprocessor from Hifn allows for complete data privacy for the access and exchange of your most sensitive data from your home to your corporate network or between remote branch offices without the additional cost of IPSec VPN client software for each computer.

The Linksys BEFVP41 is perfect for remotely accessing a small home network with a static IP address. The connections are secure and the setup is extremely easy. Using tools such as the LinSys IPSec Tool, accessing one’s home network is extremely easy. I recommend this product to any small- or even medium-sized office that wishes to connect multiple locations or support remote/roaming users.

I had to buy this router after my linksys router I bought two years ago suddenly quit connecting to the internet. Bought this router and the only problem I had with the setup was my older computer did not have xp service pack 3 installed and the setup would not run, I setup the router by connecting it to a laptop and works great. However, I did have update the old desktop to sp3 of xp because if it was connected to the router, the router would disconnect from the internet, this could have been what happened to my old router, but I haven’t tried it yet. The bottom line is this: if you computers are up to date you will have no problems.
