Linksys Broadband Router with QoS

Product Description:
Think of the Linksys Broadband Router with QoS as a kind of "splitter" for your Internet connection. Just connect your DSL or Cable Modem to the Router, and all the computers in your home or office can share the Internet -- all at the same time. Use the built-in 4-port switch to attach four local PCs directly, or daisy-chain out to more hubs and switches as your network grows. Auto MDI/MDI-X cross-over detection means you don't have to worry about the cable type.

Product Features:

Unlocked PAP2 + Router with QoS adapter works with any SIP voip provider of your choice, such as Babytel, Acanac, StanaPhone, Vbuzzer, Gizmo, Voipbuster, Voipstunt, etc. It has 2 separate phone lines. You can configure 2 independent phone numbers at the same time, one for North America, another for oversea.
PAP2 + Router with QoS is better then just PAP2, because they already have a good router built inside with many features including QoS, which makes voice quality better. Not every router has QoS feature. Therefore, this device is better than a combination of just a PAP2 and a regular router without the function of QoS.
Plus, PAP2 adapter, for some reasons, doesn't work well with every router in the market. Sme people changed their router just because it didn't work with PAP2. When you have a PAP2 + Router with QoS adapter, you won't have that risk. It is plug-and-play. That's why PAP2 + Router with QoS is better then just PAP2.
What is QoS? It is short form of Quality of Service

What is QoS? It is short form of Quality of Service. It gives priority to voice signals in your networking. Let's say you're using internet for download, when you receive or place a call, the router slows down all your jobs and prioritizes on voice signals. That helps receiving better voice quality.

Missing spec: limit of 6 IP addresses, the rest are cut off!.......2006-01-27

I had hoped that since May that the RT042 firmware had been improved to allow for more utility than what I had seen online. My BEFSR41 has been slowly dying and I was interested in the idea of using QoS to protect my VOIP traffic. When I fired the machine up, all the IP addresses on my network starting using up slots in the RT042's table of "users" and when printers, WAPs, PCs, and so on were all detected, my wife's laptop ended up being #7. She was not allowed access to the Internet through this box and there was no way to fix this. As you can imagine, I was incensed and will be returning this product.

Terribly limited functionality, not for the advanced user.......2005-11-03

I bought this router for the QoS and dual uplink features. It seemed like a better bet than having a PC do the job, and less hassle to set up. Given the headline feature set, I was expecting configuration options to match. What a disappointment.

First off, you can't configure this router properly unless you have a Windows machine handy, and any machine using a static IP must be configured manually. The inbuilt DHCP server doesn't reserve the whole subnet for leases, but locks out (indeed fails to acknowledge the existence of) any machine with a static IP. And the web interface doesn't allow for configuration of static addresses, additional services for pass-through, DHCP ranges and other commonly expected features. A Windows-based utility is supplied where a single PC is designated "master" and can go on to configure access rights for other systems. Worse, you can only have a combined total of 15 users (dynamic and static) even on the latest beta firmware -- itself only available on request from Linksys support.

Throughput is also poor.

This is a severely crippled product. If you have only a handful of systems running Windows, and are happy with dynamic addressing, then the RT042 may have some utility. But if you're a power user attracted by the multiple uplinks and QoS features expecting a powerful device, steer well clear.

Limit of 6 devices.......2005-09-12

This unit isn't worth the expense.

The primary problem with it is that you cannot have more than 6 devices on your network (desktop, laptop, VoIP, etc.). The router will only issue DHCP addresses to up to 6 devices.

Also, if you want to use static IP addresses, you're pretty much scr*wed (yes, you can do it, but it's a PITA to configure).

Suitable for HOME Network.......2005-08-02

As it has been labeled in the Linksys web site, it's a Home router, and as for a home network user like myself, I am more then satisfied with its performance and stability. The Utility setup is very user friendly, I found the time and application QoS prioritization function very useful and easy to setup. Function and setup wise, it may not be suitable for complex network, but for Home network, it is a solid unit.

DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU HAVE A MAC.......2005-06-10

I got this router last week with hope that build-in QoS and two auto balance WAN port would improve my companys network. After I install it on our network. 3 out of 25 windows machine can not get an IP address no matter how I tried. 4 MAC machine with OSX Tiger can't get an IP address either. I tried manully setup MAC machine with manul assign IP address but still can't go on to Internet. After spending whole day to try to reslove those two issue and been watting on phone for an hour to get LINKSYS techsuport. Which turns out that those INDIA tech guy gave me a "We have no training of APPLE COMPUTER,so we can't help you, you should call APPLE for HELP!" how lame can it be? That is it, I packed it up and send it back. Besides that, If you have Novell Netware Server on your network, avoid this router too, cause some of our company computer can't log in!
