   Personally, I wouldn't consider the Linksys/Cisco unit until it has   
   had at least 3 firmware upgrades. That's been my experience with   
   Linksys stuff. Many people are happy with Linksys.  Most of those   
   people, from what I've seen are using only basic routing.   
   However, for something as sophisticated as IPSEC, I wouldn't trust   
   a first firmware.   
      
   Many people seem to think that since Linksys was bought out by Cisco,   
   Linksys equipment will suddenly become more reliable, akin to   
   enterprise grade equipment. That is not the case from what I've seen   
   so far.   
      
   Netgear equip. is usually a lot more reliable than Linksys, IMHO.   
      
      
   If you're willing to spend that kind of money, I'd consider instead:   
   Zywall, Snapgear, Sonicwall   in that order.  For the money, you'll be   
   getting a lot more features, albeit without the load balancing   
   perhaps.
