| Best router which can handle 50Mbps with and with 50 users
Any suggestions? Im looking for a solid router which can handle traffic from 50 users at once, and deliver speeds of wan-to-lan of 50mbs. I read throught many of the router reviews on this site, but im confused about the "Max connections" part... does it mean the number of users at once?
Anyways, any personal experience or suggestions.
Do you guys think that the Linksys WRT310N can handle?
Also, if I had a setup where all the users were connected to another gateway before it reached the router... would that put less burden on the router. I was thinking of an Untangle Gateway. Would the router be able to handle that much traffic? |

To properly handle that traffic think a business class router not home use. |

Just on a note, I will probably not be using most of the features on the router, most of the firewall, dhcp, vpn, logging features will be disabled. Do you think the WRT310N can handle this many users with these features turned off? Maybe 40 at a time?
If not, can you suggest another router if you have one in mind?
I was also looking into the Linksys RV082. What are your guys' thoughts on that? |

I agree you need a router with more ram like 64MB of RAM and 8 megs of flash like the Linksys RVS4000 or WRT610N.
The Linksys RVS4000 has some bad reviews on newegg so i don't know about that one.
Another option is you could build you own router/firewall with and old computer or new low powered one system.
Good luck |
