Today while at the office and after weeks of putting up with the constant rebooting of the Cisco WRVS4400N I have decided to move on. My wife is working from home and has to reload the device daily to keep her connectivity up thus killing any IPSec VPN connections she has back to work. I guess this is why Cisco is moving to SSL as their preferred method of VPN connectivity. SSL allows for more fault tolerance than IPSec for home or remote user that want that seamless connectivity feeling.
Any which way the WRVS4400N is now being switched out for a Netgear WNR3500L. The only feature I can see that is missing on it will be VPN and I didn’t even us the 5 client limited VPN that the Cisco Device had to offer. I needed to add access ports to my home network also so I purchased a Netgear GS116 10/100/1000 switch so now my whole house should have 1000 Mbps interfaces up and running (zooming). If things work on the right way tonight after I install and configure all of these I will be back to being a happy camper and working on the new fish tank.
Hi,
I work in Cisco’s Small Business marketing department. I just wanted to apologize for your unpleasant experience with the WRVS4400N. We will take your feedback into account as we continually look to improve our products. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding Cisco Small Business products.
Thank you!

Marie thanks for the reply but I am done with Cisco in my home and I a Netgear customer. The funny thing is I have moved from a Cisco Small Business device in my home to a normal home device from Netgear and it hasn’t needed a reboot since and my wireless 802.11n coverage seems even better.
