Better than any that I've had

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2014

Verified Purchase

This was a replacement item for a low end router that had been in service several years. I was concerned that this being a low end Cisco unit, it may not have the quality and performance I was expecting from the name. Turns out those concerns were set aside as soon as I plugged it in and ran a few performance tests. The great performance improvement is likely due to the poor performance of the unit I was replacing - but on an absolute scale of good to bad, I really like this unit. The web based configuration and set up was easy to use and had all of the things I needed to setup right there in plain view and easy to use. It's been operational for a couple of months, and I feel very comfortable giving this unit a top rating.

This unit was sold and shipped by Amazon - as usual, it was great experience. Arrived exactly when promised, packaging was good (I'm not a package expert, so cant qualify a great rating), and it work first time out of box. The last point is probably not due to anything Amazon did, but I've read reviews where reviewer dumps on Amazon for product not working, so thought it appropriate to give credit.

The 5 star rating is all about product performance and quality - great Amazon service is becoming standard

Great support from Cisco at installation!

Great Firewall for Small Business or Home use.
I installed it along with Time Warner Business Class Cable with a Static IP.
At first I could not get connected to the internet and TWC Tech said their Modem was working fine that the problem was with the Networking in my building. I spent days trying to figure it by making changes to the Cisco RV215WAK9NA to no avail.
(Fortunately I had access to another Gateway for Internet use while trouble-shooting)
I finally called Cisco for help and their Tech spent a lot of time with me trying to figure out the problem.
He suspected TWC Modem was the problem from the start and he was correct.
I finally got ahold of a Tech at TWC that immediately saw that the Modem was not programmed correctly.
The Cisco Tech stayed on the line with me until I was up and running!
Great Support Cisco!

Avoid this Router if you plan on using it for VPN.

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

This router (along with others in the RV series) can not do site to site VPN with Dynamic IPs. It also fails in other ways with Static IP VPNs. I spent over a month troubleshooting this device trying to connect it to a RV340. And after all the trouble, I find out that the latest firmware is buggy. So this product can not do what it says it can and all I can say is this is a piece of junk. I can not even return it as it has been more than 30 days (all of which I spent troubleshooting). I am going to sell this and other Cisco products I have on eBay. I am done Cisco!!!

Cisco was once the best, but now it appears to be the worst. I am going to install a Sonicwall SOHO-W in place of this. I also have two RV-340 that I am going to replace with SonicWall devices. The RV-340 have been nothing but headaches. Sonicwall is a bit more spendy but their products actually work.

Arrived used and port forwarding failed

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2015

Verified Purchase

I knew there was trouble as soon as opened the box. Finger smudges made me suspect this was a used item, but maybe it was simply opened and examined (I hoped). No luck there. Turning on the device I had to perform a factory reset to access the setup. Once in, setup was familiar enough that I could navigate through to the settings I needed. Everything worked except for port forwarding, even after a firmware update. Checking in with Cisco, this device is notorious for its malfunctioning port forwarding, which may be why this item was returned prior to my ownership.

Nice WiFi Router, Lousy Branch Office VPN Support

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2014

Verified Purchase

This router seems to be OK when it comes to the firewall and wireless access stuff.
But that is not what I got it for. I needed a Branch Office VPN site-to-site solution.
The specifications claim it can do this. However, it only has partial support for this. For some strange reason, the developers decided that users don't need to be able to configure the IKE Identifiers manually. It attempts some mysterious magical divination of the Identifier data from IPSec configuration and even the WAN configuration. However, in my situation, it failed miserably.
I have a branch office behind a cable modem and DHCP/NAT. Supposedly, you can use the router's built-in Dynamic DNS to make things work... well that would be great if this thing didn't want to use the private IP assigned to the WAN by the DHCP/NAT of the cable modem. Life would be so much simpler if this UI would just let me put in the data I know I need like the RV120W, RV180W, and RV220W do (I looked at Cisco's manuals for them and found the required options right there in the screen shots).

For some unknown reason, no one at Cisco Small Business Support seems to understand that I just need to be able to set these industry standard options in the UI. Heck, I would even edit the configuration file manually, but they decided to use a checksum to make sure you don't dare modify something that might make this actually work!

I tried reaching out to Support on this issue, but after 3 days of being told that they can make it work internally and that I can just let the router figure things out on its own, I'm writing this review. A simple firmware update is all this thing needs from what I can tell.

I may have to return it and shell out the extra money for the older RV120W that actually lets you set these parameters.

So, as of firmware 1.2.0.15... if you need to be able to setup a site to site VPN between this thing and a proper security device... be aware that you have to use IPs for identifiers (and you can't trust the dynamic dns setting behind DHCP/NAT).

Highly recommend this all-in-one Cisco router. I have been using it for months with no problems at all. It covers our 1200 square foot townhouse with ease. We have it connect to our AT&T Uverse system upstairs in a bedroom. We have good signal strength all over the house.

Se desconfigura a cada rato, ya se actualizo firmware y recurrí a tutoriales pero cada rato impide la conexión adecuada al los dispositivos conectados. Se tiene que desconectar y volver a conectar de la corriente eléctrica para “arreglar” el error que siempre vuelve a hacerse presente. Consideren mejor otras opciones que funcionan mejor y con precios más bajos.

À long terme, chauffe et électronique ralenti

Les premiers mois tout était ok, les vitesses internet étaient telles que mon forfait.
Après 6-8 mois, difficultés avec son fonctionnement, il fallait que je le débranche quelques minutes puis tout redevenait normal. Mais les problèmes de connections se rapprochaient et à chaque fois fallait le débrancher et attrendre.
J’ai eu plusieurs modem sans fil avec ses problèmes similaires, alors je changeais de modem et de compagnie.
Malgré le fait que je prenais soin de bien positionner le modem pour m’assurer d’une ventillation optimale, le boitier devenais très chaud. J’ai même ouvert le boitier pour enlever toute restriction de circulation d’air.
J’ai aussi installé une minuterie qui déalimente le modem pendant une partie de la nuit, depuis, le modem fonctionne très bien. En arrêtant le modem chaque nuit, il agit comme un reset.
