Bought this to replace a similar D-Link unit which died completely. This is for a home/office setting where we needed more than the usual 4 ports.Set-up was a breeze, good "quick start" card, on-screen configuration excellent, unit is nice-looking and appears to be well made (metal case). FWIW, made in China. VPN not needed by us, so not tested nor configured.Unfortunately, it's not fast enough to handle even our 8 meg cable modem. Fastest throughput we ever got was 6.5, and usually less than 5 megs. We know it's not the computers since we VERY consistently got 8.0 - 8.1 with the previous router. I've seen this limitation mentioned in other reviews. For the record, we have the latest (as of this date) "v3" version (FVS318v3).If you have a slower broadband connection (maybe less than 4 megs??), this unit is probably fine... but for anything faster, it just can't do the job. Ours is going back.
