Looking for review/comparison of the linksys RV082

i noticed this newer line of soho products from linksys and they look just like cisco's soho at least similar. i wanted to find some reviews about and googling i couldn't find what i was looking for.

could someone locate a review of this router and or maybe a compareson with the older linksys routers. i am tired of constantly having to reset my linksys 8pt router. it even forgets its a dhcp occasionally.

thanks for any effort

I have one of these and have been wrestling with it forever. This thing does not work well with Bellsouth PPPoE. I believe that the problem rests in the maximum user id length but I could be wrong.
 
well i did borrow this router as it was a bit price retail at 350$. i was suprised this is the best router i have used in a while. it feels like a true cisco router with the linksys web interface. since i was never a fan of cisco ios command config i must say this is a great compromise.

it has a ton of featuers and yeah some are hard to get to they have menu's 2 and 3 deep in somecases. but i would rather have that then having to memorize commands and locations like i had to for dos many years ago. now i am not sure the quality of the firewall and how well it protects but its definatly more stable and faster then the old linksys 4/8 port routers. i just wish i had the money to keep it.
 
The issue I ran into was with PPPoE uid length. Mine is up for sale on ebay right now. I bought the netgear FVS318 and it connects via PPPoE with no problem
 
I got the RV082 here and testet the performace with astonishing results!

On the contrary to the review at smallnetbuilder have I been able to get a throughput of 87 Mbps one way either from LAN or WAN. If I test it to the limit with full duplex traffic I get around 140-160 Mbps!

DES and 3DES performance are also great. I got 20 Mbps at both when it was connected to a Linkss WRV54G.

I'm having a lot of problems to get the IPSec function in WinXP/2000/2003 to work so I haven't found the real IPSec performace becuase the WRV54G are using a slower processor (266 MHz against 533 MHz Intel IXP)

I got only one ISP that are giving me 100 Mbps full duplex so I haven't been able to test the load balancing function. But using it as a backup link it works great.

I would like at least one more function! It should be possible to set the bandwith manually on both WAN ports, and it should not go above that to keep the latency down.

It could also be great to have some kind of QoS.
