Hi Hoso, If you are talking about a domestic or home office situation this link may help:

I use both Linksys and 3COM products and both have been excellent.

Why?

There are lots of options:
- broadband router with nat 'firewall'
- dedicated firewall (watchguard soho, pix, fortinet)
- linux fw/router (ipcop, sme server, astaro)

Issue at stake: what functions do you need?

All in one protection: get astaro (there's a home solution). But there's not one solution to your question without more info.

 

Hmmm. Well, I use NetGear provided and set up by my cable company. Works just fine. Only problem I ever had was electricity flickers in the slightest caused malfunctions. So I bought a (no monitoring software for this one) APC UPS battery to add to the one (that does monitor) for my system. Solved that real quick. Every thing runs smooth as silk.

I recommend this addition hoso. Smart move!

 

I use a Netgear FR328S, 8 Port Cable/DSL Prosafe Firewall www.netgear.com.au

Cheers

 

Tx for advices,i just get Netgear websafe RP614 v2 router, instalation was smooth and looks like with NAT/SPI protection working well...
