I'd go with a cisco 5505. It will work well for a small office and also you can get support with the device. I can get you a contact for who we buy from tomorrow. We've used the 5505 as well as the now discontinued pix501 with great success.

The Linksys business-class devices are actually pretty nice – I’ve used them before for a VPN setup that routes VoIP traffic pretty well. ---- Jack Kramer Computer Systems Specialist University Relations, Michigan State University 517-884-1231 ________________________________ From: "Aldrich, Dak" <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: "Aldrich, Dak" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2009 21:54:23 -0400 To: <[log in to unmask]> Subject: [MSUNAG] site to site VPN... Ok. I've got a remote location that is currently using the ACD.Net DSL internet to connect back to campus and allows them to act as part of the on campus network. However, we've had nothing but problems with inconsistent service from ACD, and the office has grown in size and ACD is just not able to keep up with our new network needs. The only way to go with another service provider is going to be to do a site to site VPN. So i'm looking for advice on the hardware to do it. I don't want to spend a lot, and we'll only have about 15 computers connected to the network in the remote office. Only about 7 to 10 of them being used at any given time. I've found some LinkSys Business class VPN routers. Does anyone have any experience with those? Are they any good? What other options are out there? I'd like to keep costs under $500. Thanks for any info you might have for me. -dak ------------------------------------ -dak aldrich -network admin -college of music, msu [log in to unmask] -517.432.5045 -http://comit.music.msu.edu
