Protection of your network is a mission critical activity. At Linksys, we build powerful 
security into every product, to keep your wired and wireless networks safe. Linksys 
Small Business Series systems have advanced firewall, encryption and authentication 
features to protect you from network threats – threats that can seriously disrupt or 
damage your business by stealing your valuable data, slowing down your network and 
interfering with business-critical applications. Our systems ensure maximum application 
availability enabling you to meet corporate governance and business continuance 
requirements. The Linksys Small Business Series is the affordable, reliable, high quality 
networking solution that helps you do business smarter. Secure and easy to install and 
maintain, it’s built to grow with your business. 
With broadband speeds increasing beyond 20Mbps, many of the existing 10/100 gateways 
do not have the processing power to support these higher data rates, becoming the 
bottleneck in the network. The RVS4000 10/100/1000 4-Port VPN Router operates at Gigabit 
speeds to meet the demands of today’s networks. It features Linksys’ proven SPI Firewall with 
an integrated Intrusion Detection and Prevent System (IDS/IPS). 
Its built-in 4-port, full-duplex 10/100/1000 Ethernet switch can connect up four PCs directly, 
or additional hubs and switches. The QoS features provide consistent voice and video quality 
throughout your business.
In addition the RVS4000 features a Virtual Private Network (VPN) security engine that creates 
encrypted “IPSec tunnels” through the Internet. The IPSec VPN tunnels enable remote users from 
at home, or on the road to easily, and securely connect to the office network through a typical 
wired or wireless broadband connection. When used with another RVS4000 or other Linksys VPN 
router, “branch-to-branch” connections can be established allowing users in a remote office to 
connect to the corporate network.
