Cisco RV082 8-port 10/100 VPN Router - Dual WAN Review

Okay, this will be brief and is being posted only as helpful hint rather than an indepth review.
If your speeds are fine when directly connected to your ISP, but are slow or unstable when running through the RV082 try the following:
Under the firewall tab, there is an MTU setting. You MUST take this off of Auto and use the manual setting. In my case the default manual setting of 1500 is what I needed. This solved the incredible slowdown problems I was having - in fact now I have the best speeds I have ever seen on my network.
Thanks to "Lone Stranger" and the Google search in which I found his post for finally providing me with this answer after hours of frustration. No thanks to linksys email support, who was of no use at all.

PePLink Balance 20 Review

I am glad Peplink came out with a low end home user dual wan router. I have tried two other brands and never could get them to work properly. I spent countless hours with settings and on tech support with both of these other noted brands. I plugged the Peplink in to both of my ISPs (one via cable and the backup via dsl) and it works. No fuss, no bothers with an inordinate amount of settings. I have not had a drop since I plugged it in (Cable ISP has been working on lines lately), although there does seem to be an issue with actual bandwith, I am not sure that is the router's fault but might be my cable ISP. I will update this if I find out otherwise.
It would be nice if there were a widget or monitoring method to see the throughput on both connections, but other than that I can't see too much more on how to improve it.
If your connection matters... I would suggest you give this a try. I personally cannot afford to have a disconnect during trading hours.
UPDATE: Also they sell a wireless bridge (Officeport) that you are able to manage from within your browser. They sell it from another company called Pepwave. It was worth getting for me since I was having difficulty connecting my DIR-655 (my previous router) as a bridge. I did not know about the other company and their products until I called the Peplink tech support trying to connect my previous router. Just thought this info might help a prospective purchaser.UPDATE #2: It's now 06-07-2011 and this router is going strong. No problems whatsoever. I mention this since I came back to the product to link it for a friend who was having connection problems with his ISP. This dual-wan load balancing router and the accompanying Pepwave Officeport bridge have given me less trouble than all of my previous single wan routers I have had throughout 25 years of computer use.
I would still love to see a desktop gadget that shows bandwith for each ISP though, since it would help with setting the optimum loading and determining which tier is acceptable on the DSL backup line. However I am considering dumping the DSL and purchasing the 3g version of this router since my cell phone is always at my side.
