Hello,
This is my first post here at Hexus, so if I'm in the wrong forum then please let me know.
I am hoping you can assist in my choice of a new VPN / Firewall / Router. I have recently upgraded to Virgin's 10 Mb service, and my old Netgear FVS318 V1 VPN Firewall Router is not capable of sufficient throughput, it throttles the service to 4.6 Mb, a direct connection to the Surfboard SB4100 gives over 12 Mb consistently, so the problem is definitely the router. As I see it, if I go to the new V3 FVS318, which has a faster processor, better firmware and can sustain over 10 Mb then I'll be OK for now, but with an imminent upgrade to 20Mb in the next 8 - 10 weeks, I really want a unit which can definitely give me a full 20 Mb throughput. I also use 54 Mbps Wifi, currently on a separate 3Com access point, so I would like to integrate everything into the one unit if I'm not going to suffer performance loss with the Wifi system. So my shoppin list is :-
Cable ready upto 20Mb
VPN
Firewall
preferably integrated 802.11g
4 10/100 Ethernet ports or more
Any ideas or experiences with this speed of cable using this kind of hardware would be most greatly appreciated.
Thanks and best wishes,
Dave
