Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Our local ISP (Verizon) requires PPPoE routers that can specify the DNS to use, otherwise one gets a horrid deluge of advertising instead of a "page not found" message. One also loses a chance to edit the mistyped URL address. My SMC router allows only dynamic DNSs so I started hunting for a new VPN router.
Cisco was friendly, but didn't know their router and the promise to call back within a week never materialized. Other vendors didn't know, didn't care, or didn't speak English. Syswan, on the other hand, promptly emailed a thoughtful response and even followed up with a screen capture to further prove their router could do PPPoE with user specified DNSs -- impressive to say the least.
But getting the Syswan SW24 VPN router in hand was the most impressive of all.
First of all, the thing has real heft and is in a solid metal case. It even has wall/shelf mounting brackets if the weight alone isn't enough to keep the cables from wagging the router. No light weight plastic.
Secondly, it installed on my network (Windoze server, Linux server, three print servers and 8 workstations) in 12 minutes -- including a miscue when I forgot to release my previous IP leases (run/cmd and executing "ipconfig /release" followed by executing "ipconfig /renew" -- or just reboot).
Thirdly, the layout of the connections and front panel is logical. No connections on the sides or front. Reasonable spacing between connectors. I can tell what's going on from a distance because the front panel LEDs are well spaced (not bunched together).
Fourthly, the configuration and control interface is clear and rational. It doesn't treat me like an idiot, expect me to be a scholar in transliterated Sanskrit, or sneer at me like a Unix sophmore. This router is full featured and willing to give you as little or as much access to the features as you are comfortable with.
The router looks & feels well made, it acts like a premium router, it is a delight to configure, the manufacturer is responsive and knowledgeable, and installation was effortless -- I can't ask for more.
Oh yes, no sweat if you only have one internet service connection (WAN). This router works fine with just one ISP connection -- and you're ready for when you need more bandwidth and a second connection.
