   I just got one today. I certainly couldn't write a review about it nor do I   
   feel qualified to. Hope to see a good review on it soon.   
      
   Bob posted some issues above and these issues should be considered in your   
   purchase.   
      
   I can only compare this to my old router (BEFSR41 v2).   
      
   1. The bootup seems a bit slower.   
      
   2. My download speed improved to 1300kbps from 1250kbps.   
      
   3. I was having issues with SecureClient that we use on our corporate sites.   
   With the BEFSR41 router with 1.44 firmware, I couldn't stay connected long   
   at all. I did the port forwarding, MTU and triggering with no joy. I had   
   solid connections with the 1.45 firmware, but transfer speed really took a   
   dump (around 40kbps).   
      
   With this router (WRV54G), transfer speed was around 110kbps. Plugged   
   directly into DSL modem I get 140kbps. A big improvement for me. These were   
   just my results with the same test file downloaded through the VPN tunnel   
   from one of our corporate servers.   
      
   4. Nice small profile.   
      
   5. A few more menu options.   
      
   I haven't tested the wireless yet (gotta buy Christmas gifts) but so far I   
   am liking this router.   
      
   If I do find some other issues, I'll be sure to post them. I am hoping to   
   try out the wireless in a few days and the VPN features (to this computer   
   instead of as a client) soon.
