The Cisco RV220W Wireless NW Security Firewall offers great choices to small offices to enjoy secure, reliable, wired and wireless, broadband connectivity - to the Internet, other offices and employees working remotely. This high-performance wireless router helps improve productivity by providing fast access to the large files and rich media applications used by employees every day.
Designed to provide greater flexibility for highly secure, remote connections, the RV220W supports both IP Security (IPsec) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN, often referred to as hybrid VPN. It enables other offices to connect just as if they were physically connected to the primary business network. SSL VPN, which allows secure connections through any web browser, is application-specific, offering a means of extending controlled access to business partners and others, without compromising critical data.
To help further safeguard your network and data, the Cisco RV220W includes business-class security features and optional cloud-based web filtering. Setup is simple, using a browser-based configuration utility.

Comments about Cisco RV220W WIRELESS NW SECURITY FIREWALL:
We use routers in supporting multiple subnets in our shop and in support of our clients with internal VPN's.
We were misguided by customer support to reconfigure our entire internal network (12 devices) as the first support rep said that we had to move everything off the 192.168.1.x to 192.168.144.x
We called again for assistance in setting up PPTP into our shop, as the first rep did not know how. The second rep blew away our configuration that was working.
We are an IT shop with many years of experience with switches and routers, and would not under any circumstances recommend this device to anyone needing more than the most basic routing device.

Comments about Cisco RV220W WIRELESS NW SECURITY FIREWALL:
The product is used in a SMB network infrastructure utilizing both wired and wireless capabilities.
It's throughput is very fast. Small form factor with great wireless range.
Has great security features
Web configuration interface is a bit slow.
Does not have the best intuitive configuration interface for beginners or average users.
Great product nonetheless.

Comments about Cisco RV220W WIRELESS NW SECURITY FIREWALL:
The product is good and the signal is great, but it has some serious flaws for being priced where it is.
- The antenna can only in either 2.4GHZ or 5GHZ not both at the same time.
- The devices control panel has a horrible user interface and is extremely hard to navigate.
- Wireless on the device has shut off by itself a few times and only comes back on when reset.
- There is no easy way to update the firmware

Comments about Cisco RV220W WIRELESS NW SECURITY FIREWALL:
Very complete and strong unit.
UI is pretty OBTUSE-NON-INTUITIVE. Page changes are SLOW!!
HOWEVER, I bought two, one for the office and one for the house for Hardware VPN connections between both and to client sites in TX & FL. Good investment. BUT WOULD HAVE FAILED without the OUTSTANDING SUPPORT FROM CISCO. Should have called CISCO earlier!!!
