RV042G vs RV320

[Michiel Beenen]

Hello all,

Can someone pls explain to me the difference between these 2 models? cause i definitely cannot find it anywhere apart from 900mbps vs 800mbps in NAT.

Basically I need the best of them for Dual Gigabit WAN + DHCP to LAN, no need for VPN.

Any idea?
Thank you all!

Hey Michiel,

As far as Dual Gigabit WAN + DHCP to LAN goes, I do not believe there is a difference between the devices.

Here are some extra links that may help,

The RV042G is a next generation model of the RV042 while the RV320 is the newer version of this device.  Personally I'd go with the RV320 as it will have more support, but also possibly more bugs.

Cool!  Let us know how it goes.

It actually went very well, took me about 10 minutes to set it up with load balancing over WAN (1 fiber, 1 cable) and one to one NAT works like a charm aswell. The only thing I had to disable was the SPI (under firewall) since that slowed down some dns lookups for some strange reason.

[SamirD]

Sweet!  Glad it worked well for you.  If you want to leave the SPI enabled, try putting in static DNS entries and see if that helps.
