EnGenius EVR100 Wireless Router - IEEE 802.11n EVR100 Routers & Gateways - Wireless
This review is from : EVR100 Wireless N Security Vpn Router with Gigabit Switch
Solid Router Great Configurability . Purchased this router at the end of July to replace a failing linksys router (radio was losing strength rapidly), decided to do a little research to see what other companies had to offer. I came across engenius and did a little research online, and found through several reviews that they offered some features that other brands didn't (multiple SSIDs for example) at a relatively low price point. After purchase, setup was a breeze. If you have configured a router previously, you won't have an issue with this one. I did not experience firmware issues nor have I used (or need to) the VPN portion of the router. However, I do like the multiple SSID option and am using it. As well as the "Isolate wired clients from wireless" option which with all of the internet connected devices out there I feel will be a necessary option for everyone in the future. The router has been up nearly continuously since installation (except for an extended power outage) and has preformed flawlessly. I gave the device 4 stars because I didn't try the VPN, and if they made the isolation option configurable for each SSID it would be perfect. Also a note, their tech support is so-so, I had to call them about another unit I purchased and was left underwhelmed with the overall tech support experience.

EVR100 Wireless N Security Vpn Router with Gigabit Switch Reviews
Quality VPN router for under $100 . I purchased the EVR-100 for $99 and have owned it for about a month now. The throughput for the gigabit ports and wireless N are both up to par for the price range. I have also tested the site-to-site VPN capability with Cisco, Sonicwall, and Checkpoint appliances and was able to get a reliable connection to all devices without a hitch. I also tested both available options for remote access VPNs (IPSEC and L2TP over IPSEC) and they do work but I would not recommend TheGreenBow VPN client as you have to pay for it and it doesn't work well on XP or Windows 7. Alternatively, I was able to configure the open source alternative Shrewsoft VPN client ([...] for IPSEC remote access and it works perfectly.
My only gripe with the router is the firmware is a little glitchy and could use an update. Every now and then upon applying settings for DNS, DHCP, etc. it would lock up for a few minutes then become functional again after some time. After I got everything configured the way I prefer everything works flawlessly.
The 1 star dock was because of the glitchy firmware but all-in-all I would defiantly suggest this router to any small business or home user who needs/wants VPN functionality (as well as gigabit Ethernet & 802.11n) and are on a budget. For the price you can't go wrong!

Cons Review
Returned! . I purchased this router to use as a VPN Server and it rarely if ever worked. Returned it after trying for weeks to get a regular VPN connection. Purchased a Buffalo Router instead which I highly recommend. I have purchased other Engenius products like their wireless outdoor antenna and it works great. This product needs work.
