Today I stumbled over something in a brochure of a big German distributor - the Linksys WRV200 Wireless-G VPN router.

Could be one of the last, but finest pre-802.11n routers. But it’s definitely the cheapest one with all these features bundled in the box. Seems like Cisco wants to roll up the end consumer market, doesn’t it?

Seems that I have been maybe a bit over-enthusiastic, and not investigative enough. One of our readers pointed to pages and pages of user's comments about this one, so please read these as well before you go and order that thing.

It seems that the Firmware 1.0.20 addresses some of the complaints, but still - if they use Linux inside, then why should they offer the administration web sites and such as .aspx only? Makes not much sense IMHO.

Plus since Cisco is behind Linksys, I don't know if any of these new designs can be really trusted anyways - there is a reason they always promote and try to get their users to "upgrade" to the real Cisco stuff, hm?

cheers, wjl Hmmm - editing this thing makes the "br"s go away - and "p" and "/p" don't work, too.
