9.I forgot my password, or the password prompt always appears when saving settings to the Router. Reset the Router to factory defaults by pressing the Reset button for ten seconds and then releasing it. If you are still getting prompted for a password when saving settings, then perform the following steps:

A.Access the Router’s web interface by going to http://192.168.1.1 or the IP address of the Router. Enter the default password admin, and click the Setup => Password tab.

B.Enter the old password in the Old Password field.

C.Enter a different password in the New Password field, and enter the new password in the Confirm New Password field to confirm the password.

D.Click the Save Settings button.

10.I am a PPPoE user, and I need to remove the proxy settings or the dial-up pop-up window.

If you have proxy settings, you need to disable these on your computer. Because the Router is the gateway for the Internet connection, the computer does not need any proxy settings to gain access. Please follow these directions to verify that you do not have any proxy settings and that the browser you use is set to connect directly to the LAN.

For Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher:

A.Click Start, Settings, and Control Panel. Double-click Internet Options.

B.Click the Connections tab.

C.Click the LAN settings button and remove anything that is checked.

D.Click the OK button to go back to the previous screen.

E.Click the option Never dial a connection. This will remove any dial-up pop-ups for PPPoE users.

For Netscape 4.7 or higher:

A.Start Netscape Navigator, and click Edit, Preferences, Advanced, and Proxies.

B.Make sure you have Direct connection to the Internet selected on this screen.

C.Close all the windows to finish.

11.To start over, I need to set the Router to factory default.

Hold the Reset button for up to 30 seconds and then release it. This will return the password, forwarding, and other settings on the Router to the factory default settings. In other words, the Router will revert to its original factory configuration.

12.I need to upgrade the firmware.

In order to upgrade the firmware with the latest features, you need to go to the Linksys website and download the latest firmware at www.linksys.com. Follow these steps:

The Linksys RV082 is a robust dual WAN VPN router that stands out in the market for small to medium-sized businesses seeking reliable network connectivity and security. Designed to meet the demands of a dynamic business environment, the RV082 offers a host of features that enhance both performance and reliability.

One of the primary attributes of the RV082 is its dual WAN capability. This feature allows businesses to connect to two different internet connections simultaneously, ensuring uninterrupted internet access. In case one connection fails, the router can automatically switch to the other, minimizing downtime and maintaining productivity.

The RV082 also boasts impressive VPN support, enabling secure communication between remote users and branch offices. With support for up to 50 simultaneous VPN connections, the router accommodates a growing workforce that may require access to the company’s network from remote locations. This is particularly beneficial for businesses with telecommuting employees or those that operate across multiple locations.

Security is a paramount concern for any business, and the RV082 addresses this with various built-in security features. It utilizes advanced firewall capabilities, including Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Denial of Service (DoS) protection, safeguarding internal networks from external threats. The router also supports strong encryption protocols such as IPSec and PPTP, ensuring that sensitive data transmitted over the VPN remains secure.

Performance-wise, the RV082 includes eight switched LAN ports, allowing numerous devices to connect directly to the network without the need for additional hardware. This feature simplifies network management and helps keep connectivity organized. Furthermore, the router supports Quality of Service (QoS) prioritization, which allows businesses to allocate bandwidth effectively among different applications and users, promoting seamless performance even during high traffic periods.

The user-friendly web-based interface facilitates easy configuration and management, making it accessible for users with varying levels of technical expertise. Additionally, the RV082’s compact design ensures that it can fit into nearly any office environment without taking up too much space.

In summary, the Linksys RV082 is an excellent choice for businesses looking for a dependable and secure networking solution. With its dual WAN capabilities, extensive VPN support, robust security features, and user-friendly management tools, the RV082 successfully meets the challenging needs of modern business networking.
