Hi All,
I'm in Southern California and currently have FIOS 35/35 with 13 static IP's. Currently I have a Cisco 871w and I've been having loads of problems with it. The most I can realistically manage out of this router is 15-17mbps. I'm a bandwidth junky and want to upgrade to the quantum packages so I am looking for a new firewall router.Can anyone recommend something?
Here are some details on my situation and what the requirements I have...
1) I run 3 servers including: an email server that processes about 50000 emails a day so there is a substantial number of connections made, A web server with a decent amount of traffic, and a Terminal Server which hosts 4 external users.
2) A substantial amount of online backups (500-750gb once a month) with approx 5-8gb incremental daily
3) Some bitorrent (yeah yeah i know, but im only human!)
4) 15 users connected on cellphones via wifi for basic browsing.
5) 7-10 computers that need to be accessible from outside (i.e. inside they user a standard 192.168.x.x address but outside have a public address. So NAT is required.
6) Allow only certain ports through to each outside facing machine (i.e. on the mail server only ports 25, 80, 443, 3389 - on another machine only port 3389, and so on and so fourth). It will always be 'Port-X Port-X' never 'Port X to Port-Y'
7) Package will likely be 300/65 or 500/100 so it needs to have greater than 10/100 ports
8) be fairly easy to configure
I do not require VPN (though i'm not against having it if its included), packet inspection, subscription services, etc.
Can anyone recommend a decent firewall/router than can handle the above? What can I expect to spend? I'm hoping for around a grand but i'm open to ideas. Im OK with purchasing used. Thank you for ANY and all advise
