Title: Great functionality, poor reliability
Review: I purchased the BEFSX41 to replace another I had at a client remote office, creating a VPN back to the home office with a BEFVP41.In my 8+ years of using the BEFSX41, carefully deployed with surge protection and in climate-controlled environments, I have found that they are not reliable. The BEFSX41 often loses connectivity, requiring a hardware reboot (unplug & replug) every few months. At least once a year, a device needs complete replacement when it spontaneously gets bricked.Additionally, firmware upgrades often (50%+) fry it as well; when Linksys tech support is asked about this, they throw up their hands saying there is nothing that they can do.If you are looking for an inexpensive VPN endpoint with good VPN options, this is OK - just expect to reboot regularly and have replacements on hand for the inevitable bricking of the device.
