I was a huge linksys fan for a long time. Now I will not buy anything but D-Link. It seems that D-Link is the only device out there for home use that will allow multiple pc's to be connected to a vpn at the same time.

I own a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00007KDVI/ref=cm_bg_d/002-8165105-3523218?tag=meatme-20&amp;v=glance">'Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router'</a> and a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00007KDVK/ref=cm_bg_d/002-8165105-3523218?tag=meatme-20&amp;v=glance">'Linksys WPC54G Wireless-G Notebook Adapter'</a>, and I have been satisfied with both.<p>But I would recommend strongly that you avoid their WAP54G access points. First they misrepresent the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00007KDVJ/ref=cm_bg_d/002-8165105-3523218?tag=meatme-20&amp;v=glance">'Linksys WAP54G Wireless-G Access Point'</a>
in their marketing literature -- they says that it supports WPA
security, but it does not support it in certain operating modes. In
addition, I have tried everything possible with the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00007KDVJ/ref=cm_bg_d/002-8165105-3523218?tag=meatme-20&amp;v=glance">'Linksys WAP54G Wireless-G Access Point'</a>
to establish WEP security in bridge mode, and even that does not work
properly. Finally, I have spent a lot of time on the phone with Linksys
technical support in a futile attempt tp solve the probklems I have
encountered. Unfortunately, many of them are poorly trained. BEWARE OF
LINKSYS AND THE WAP54G. I bought two of them, and I regret my decision
to do so.
