What is the difference between Linksys WRV200 and WRV54G?

Question

I want a DSL firewall/router with WiFi, 4 Ethernet ports, and in-router VPN for having a permenent connection to my work (so I can run an IP phone and whatnot).

So, the Linksys WRV200 and WRV54G seem to be the way to go, but there's a 2x price difference, $70 versus $140.

But the only differences I see are:
-- 10 VPN sessions versus 50
-- WRV200 calls them "QuickVPN" versus VPN
-- Different packaging
-- Maybe one versus two antennas?
-- WRV200 has RangeBooster, but the more expensive WRV54G does not.

Those don't seem to justify the 2x price difference, so I feel I'm missing something.

Can they both act as VPN servers?

What is QuickVPN versus normal VPN?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

It's actually the WRV200 that has 2 antennas, again making it suprising that it's the cheaper one.

Also, do they essentially run the same Linksys firmware -- not the exact same version, but do they both have the same Linksys interface that most of their products do?

Answer 1

The WRV54G is more expensive because it has access for more VPN connections and is also Hotspot ready, in other words easy to setup for a business, such as coffee shop, that wants to deploy a hotspot for customer use.

Also the WRV200 is using first generation MIMO technology, which has a reputation for not working as well as the newer units.
