Router recommendation |
|
|
I was wondering what routers people have had good luck with. This is for
a DSL connection for a small business. We will have some machines on static
global IP addresses and some will be assigned private addresses. Here's what
we're looking for:
1) Wireless access is a plus. We don't currently plan any wireless
machines, but we might in the future.
2) Must be able to handle both static IP addresses and NAT. (We'll have
a few servers that are statically assigned IP address and several machines
that will be assigned internal addresses.)
3) Configurable firewalling.
It will be operated by very networking-savvy people, so ease of use is
not particularly important. Ultimate capability, feature set, and
tweakability are far more important. Reliability and stability are hugely
important. Low cost is nice too. One that runs Linux internally with
firmware we can mess with is a plus too.

Look into ActionTec products.
Latest TI ASDL 2/2+ tech.. (Max connect speed & reliability, even
for older DSL connections)
2.4.17 linux kernel.. iptables & routing capability(subnets).
Several models available off the shelf at Compusa. Buy one, try
it out for a couple of weeks, return it if you don't like it. |
