SOHO routers with 10/100 WAN ports? |
|
|
I'm getting (a trial of) Verizon's FIOS fiber-to-the-home product in a
couple of weeks, which comes with a special router (no idea what that
means). While I can hook my existing infrastructure up to it, my
trusty BEFSR41 has a 10BaseT WAN port and my FIOS is supposed to be
15M/2M.
I've found the Linksys/Cisco RV042 for $170 at Amazon, are there other
SOHO routers with 10/100 WAN ports I should be looking at? Does
anyone know the details of the Verizon FIOS router, and if it's safe
to use as a primary router?
There's some mention of how it's part of their infrastructure and can
run traffic analysis and other 'spyware' functions, plus they seem to
require I run their 'software' suite which appears to include
remote-control software and such, and I'd much rather have my own
firewall...
Thanks! |

The Linksys WRT54G claims to have a 10/100 WAN port, and is usually
available for around $70 or so. You can turn off the wireless part if
you don't need that.

Good thought, thanks! I called Verizon's FIOS line to ask some
questions, and they tried to tell me they use D-Link 624 routers, but
that can't be right, so I guess I'll see what they show up with and
have a Linksys on hand...
Thanks! |

I've got a Netgear FR114P that has 10/100 ports on the WAN side..
I normally prefer to roll my own, using a FreeBSD box of some sort..
