I think it is just hit or miss (and people seem to remember their last
experience).

I have a similar model Linksys but wired (BEFSR41 V3) and it does not allow
me to create a VPN/PPTP connection using the external address of the router
(to the VPN server on our LAN) from inside the LAN (works fine outside the
LAN).  I use a certain version of the firmware to enable the VPN (VPN/PPTP
does not work with the firmware in BEFSR41 V4, and the latest firmware in
V3 - the router appears to forget to respond to an ARP packet when you look
at it on the sniffer, if you are into the technical details) and

When I complained to Linksys about the external address not working they
suggested an even older version of the firmware - I didn't try it because my
users are happy with the router with the current firmware and I always
believe in the old adage 'if it's not broke, don't fix it'.

The old SMC I had (a 7004WBR I think) does this, as does the Linksys
BEFW11S4 (v4 I think) I replaced it with.  I believe the Belkin my sister
had did this, and the older BEFW11S4 (v2) that replaced it does.  I've
only seen reference to one or two that didn't, actually.
