I'm setting up a new network in my parent's home office and I'm looking for some advice on what equipment to use. Reliability and stability are the most important factors - it must never go down or need to be rebooted. The router only needs to handle simple soho tasks such as dhcp, nat, firewall, ect with a 200Mb cable connection. Although they don't need vpn capabilities right now, they might in the future. I will be using an HP Procurve 1410-8G switch to distribute ethernet throughout the house and a separate wireless access point for mobile devices. All I really need is 1 wan port and 1 lan port to connect the cm820 modem and hp switch. I was considering the edgerouter lite but it doesn't seem to be fully developed yet and I don't have the skill to configure it perfectly. I also looked at some of the newer asus routers with merlin firmware(among the other highend consumer routers) but I'm unsure of the long term reliability.
Does anyone have any insight into what equipment is available for this kind of setup?
