Title: Excellent - if you don't use VPN tunnels
Product review: I bought this router/firewall about ten months ago to replace an older SMC Barricade that was becoming unreliable. For the most part I have been pleased with it, it has a decent firewall/IDS, VLAN routing, good DHCP configurability and purports to have VPN support. Unfortunately, I have found that with a VPN tunnel configured, there is a memory leak in the firmware vpn code that causes the router to reboot every 24 hours. This could be tolerable for me if I could time the reboot (or schedule one) but that is not supported and it only comes back from the reboot 80% of the time. After disabling the VPN tunnel it works fine. My hope is that they will get around to fixing it in a newer firmware version but I have stayed current and found the update frequency to be very slow. So, if you don't need the VPN tunnel this is a fine (if pricey) unit. If you need a reliable VPN tunnel product, try something else at this point.
