Wired Firewalls seem to come under security solutions->perimeter firewalls; Wireless ones seem to come under routers->officeconnect routers...

Anyway I was looking for a hardware firewall solution for home use. Thanks for the feedback!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18910299 Mon, 20 Aug 2007 05:24:22 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18910278 rjs1003 : Last time I looked at the product, the main benefit of the secure NIC was fast encryption - ie to accelerate the behaviour of VPNs. And I know it talks about being "hardened"... but I don't see any benefit in it in a home environment... a cheap NIC and a decent firewall will do the trick. This product is great in servers where encryption would otherwise slow down the CPU, or in building a distributed firewall... but for home go cheaper!
