    Recommendations for router with decent firewall - maybe DrayTek?

    Thanks, that's a good idea for testing purposes. Interestingly, a quick test of my network performance shows I can only achieve 1.6Gb/s symmetrically between two quad core servers through a gigabit network switch so 1.3Gb/s would still be an impressive result in my book. In the real world...

    Recommendations for router with decent firewall - maybe DrayTek?

    I've now had a chance to perform some simple benchmarks on the performance of the EdgeRouter Lite. I was able to find some performance tests for various VPN setups, but nothing for a simple SOHO routing/firewall setup. I started by benchmarking my network to get a baseline performance figure...

    Recommendations for router with decent firewall - maybe DrayTek?

    Hi all, First question, so I'll try to give plenty of background. I've recently upgraded to a FTTC broadband (VDSL) connection at home, with nominal speeds of 80/20Mbps. The ISP provides a Huawei HG635 DSL modem router which works well enough but is limited in terms of flexibility of the...
