This is used in my organization for collecting attendances from biometric machines installed at remote office from server at main office... VPN configurations are straight through and can be configured in 30 sec. UI is tidy .. however there are there are some LIMITATIONS
NOTE: this is device is only designed for small office with 50 devices to connect with main office.
The four lan ports are switch.. you cannot assign individual ip to each port .. there is option for multiple subnets in 4 switch ports but then VPN wont work
MAJOR LIMITATION: Vpn with only work on proper class A class B or Class C networks.. and if has to be the only network operating on 4 port switch in this router..
This device is only meant for accessing a remote location from anywhere.. and is only designed to support this sole purpose.. you can connect with your phone and take remote desktop of your home pc or can access a network shared drive at home.. or remote office.

Its a good product in performance, simple configuration and facility to manage connection with bandwidth options. The product is installed in my office ordered from flipkart. No issue faced till now.
Small business definately can go for this product for continue net connectivity for its small LAN / Wi-Fi network.

Too many problems with this device !
1. The log in page itself is flagged as "Unsafe" and Mozilla Firefox will not even allow you to log in to the admin page of this device !!! Chrome allows you to log in only after you agree to proceed even though Chrome says it is unsafe :-(
Have never seen this kind of behaviour with ANY Router or Gateway device of any make, including the cheap Chinese ones !
2. This Router will only allow Max 50 devices to which it will assign IP addresses. If you connect more than that, they will not be assigned any IP addresses and they will not be on the network ! We put a D-Link Router as a DHCP server and this RV042 as a Gateway Router to the ISP's..... but then the internet connectivity was very intermittent and we could not really use it in that manner.
3. We bought this device so that we could transparently switch between our two ISP's, if one of them fails. But the UI is no tacky and primitive, it is a pain to manage this device !
This product MAY work for a small office with 20 or 30 devices (which includes all smartphones too), but all-in-all, it is a very poorly designed product with many limitations !
