Product Description
The Wireless-N WRVS4400N Gigabit Security Router with VPN implements draft IEEE 802.11n (Wireless-N) technology with a Virtual Private Network (VPN) Router that features a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet switch. By overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N's "Multiple In, Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate resulting in greater than 100 Mbps throughput and at least twice the range of Wireless G.

I am very pleased with this product, I have a big house, over 3,000 sq, feet and the router I had before, made it hard to get good reception in some of the rooms up stairs, and downloads were really slow.
But this one works great!, I would recommend this router to anyone needing a good router, Linksys makes the best products.

I usually never buy a router from linksys, 1st one was a pain to setup, 3 years ago. Now when you buy this its does everything for you. Only a few settings and presto! Filtering works perfectly. Didnt pass any viruses or content that i blocked. (ie word filtering works perfectly) Blocks attackers from killing the router, Logs all the attacks and there ip address. Technology great. Firewall and Mimo wireless with a gigbit ethernet. What more can you ask for?? Upgrade firmware and signatures when purchasing it. When installing dont forget to release the ip from the old router and on the linksys dhcp renew. Many ppl forget about this. Other people say its bad, it probably they dont know what they are doing or just got a bad router from the site. Defiently worth the money. Got 1 for the business and one for home. This is a must have product.
WRVS4400N and WiFi routers in general March 24, 2009

If I only had one 4400N, I would assume that mine was a rare, trouble-free example however, I have 4 at various locations. None has been an on-going problem but, like every other WiFi router I have ever deployed(beginning with a first generation Airport) the 4400Ns have had initial issues when first placed but again - no more than any of the others and certainly not as bad as that 1st gen Airport - the only guarantee that applied to it was that it would fail from overheating within 30 days of warranty expiration.
After installing about 10 wireless networks, I started doing this: After verifying Firmware, changing channels etc - When a router starts misbehaving - I reset it to default and reconfigure it. Reconfiguration is quicker than troubleshooting. It will not take long if your documentation is complete. You do document your work right? Code gets corrupted - it shouldn't but, it does. (you can also save the config to a memory stick and reload it but, I find manual reconfiguration is more reliable).
WiFi network failures or flaky-ness is in my experience, usually due to interference - refrigerators,HVAC dishwashers and washing machines have motors which can cause instability. When experiencing problems with reception - finding a channel free from interference, or moving the router provides resolution -how simple is that?
Place the router above the area you're attempting to cover if possible. Adding a better antenna will also help if distance/walls are an issue. Office buildings have lots of metal which disperses the signal so, range is often an issue. My rule of thumb is that a plaster/drywall and wood wall =33% of range - Masonry or drywall/steel = 50% of range - more if it's a really thick wall.
Also when dealing with streaming and internet availability problems don't forget to tweak MTU (google DrTCP if you're not into CLI).
I've been in I.T. for almost 20 years. When I started, tech companies were directed by engineers, R&D was a priority and products were tested rigorously prior to market. Today, at the direction of marketing MBAs the Income Stream is almighty, ever more complex products are prematurely rushed to market turning us into a world of unpaid beta-testers. I guess if being a nerd is your life, being a beta tester bestows a certain amount of esteem. Care to discuss BlueTooth?

I have mostly used Linksys routers, they have all worked for me. I was reluctant to buy this one based on reviews, but I know someone who installs these for their small business customers and has never had a problem with them. It has never locked up or in any way quit functioning for me, I have up to seven computers attached to the router and through a switch, two of which VPN to corporate networks. I have not tried the wireless N yet, my three wireless laptops are all G, I have no issues with the wireless G. I did not run any setup, I simply plugged it in to my network, replacing my old router. The biggest problem I had was getting an IP from the net, but rebooting the router a few times fixed that and I've had no problems since. Cisco's website is dreadful, I have not been able to locate the firmware upgrade yet. I changed the default IP because I originally set up the network on a netgear several years ago. I did not like the netgear and am not likely to buy another one of their products. As someone else reminded me, be sure to release the IP on your old router before installing the new one.

I normally don't like to have an all-in-one solution as hardware of this kind is more reliable separate, but I needed something light for my home/personal use.
This has it all, router, gigabit switch, wireless-N, VPN, multiple SSID, VLAN, IPv6, static IP mapping, IPS, what else would one need? I'm also using this as a site-to-site VPN with another router (WRV54G). Avoid the WRV54G.
If you want a rock solid solution, I recommend the RV series. I replaced a RV042 with this WRV4400N just because I wanted the extra features, but the RV042 is bulletproof where the WRV4400N can be taken to its knees if you throw allot at it and you know what you're doing.
If you are a SOHO or for personal use this should be a great solution. Although if you need something more system critical then I recommend something else. But for what this is and what I am using it for, I love it.
