Hi:
I've been struggling to use a TZ 190 Sonicwall on a Time Warner Fiber Optic network. One of the major limitations is not supporting gigabit on the LAN. However, it's also tough maintaining the 5mps symmetric that we're 'guaranteed' by TW because of their requirement of 100mbs full duplex throughout the network.
I really do like the TZ GUI though and I'm hesitant to go to a Cisco router; what little I've done with them seems to be more difficult.
Do you have a recommendation for a good router that will do gigabit LAN, work well with full duplex/100mbs and support a group of 20 high-bandwidth users? I'd rather pay more for a setup that doesn't require constant maintenance.
In terms of services, we need very little: we only support Linux and Macs, and really only open SSH, IMAP/SSL, and SMTP. We don't need all the bells and whistles of 3G, Wireless, virus protection. Just something that we can setup and leave, hopefully.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Pete
