Any Linksys RV042 Reviews?

[binaryops]

I just bought a Linksys RV042 10/100 4PT VPN Router. I am new to VPN and thought that this solution would be a good one to get started with. I'm not new to networking and like the advanced options that this router provides. I haven't been able to do much with it yet in terms of the VPN, but the internet works through it as I've got it configured to my ISP's standards. That's not my main purpose for it though. I really want to get the VPN set up so I can use it as a VPN host and connect remotely to my home network using Linksys Quick VPN client software or any really.

I've read some bad reviews after having bought this product, most of which state that the VPN is complicated to connect to from xp/2000 Client, have to tweak IPSec settings.

I want any negative and positive reviews/thoughts about this router as I have 30 days to return it. I want to make sure it's going to be a good product for me.

Thank you for your help!
