I just want stability, not features.
while its already been said, i'll echo the sentiments for the cisco 800-series. get an 871w used off ebay. pick up a base smartnet for upgrades so you are covered license-wise. configure it as needed. lock it down with a secure password. provide yourself vpn access so you can get in if something breaks without traveling.

if you tell the ceo that its all command-line based and you lock it down and its a device with an obscure password recovery method (well, its not obscure, but it requires special gear and knowledge), it will defer tamper.

plus, i've never had a device more stable than a cisco router. you won't match it with consumer grade gear (possibly zyxel, but i would ping Anav regarding that stuff).

Anyways, the Cisco is too high-end. I just want stability, not features.

Thanks for the recommendation though.

After buying a Cisco AP for my house, I can never go back to a consumer-class AP.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Need-Hardware-Recommendation-22640844 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 16:49:46 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Need-Hardware-Recommendation-22640172 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Need-Hardware-Recommendation-22640172 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:39:28 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Need-Hardware-Recommendation-22640153 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Need-Hardware-Recommendation-22640153 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:36:33 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Need-Hardware-Recommendation-22640010
I need recommendation on the most reliable soho wireless router (802.11n not required or even wanted) you've ever worked with that's still available for purchase.

Feature requirements aren't big at all: 1) Allow GRE traffic for MS's RRAS VPN, 2) port forwarding support

Seriously, that's it. I just want this thing to be rock solid. It's for the CEO and he knows enough to get himself into trouble (ex-tech guy that hasn't kept up) and I don't want to be support for the next 20 years.

TIA
