Re: Let's talk routers
said by woodward  :If anyone would like to pipe up and share their hardware and network configuration with speed results, I suspect I won't be the only person to find this information useful. Speaking anecdotally, I would think you're absolutely right--most consumer products will not handle 10+ Mbps speeds off most ports, even though they may claim to be capable of handling it.
I would look at either building an embedded solution on something like a Soekris running Linux w/iptables and bridging software that you could rent to your users or looking to a third-party embedded hardware provider that might have more of a clue. Examples here:

Personally I'd love to see a router/gateway that had wireless, dual WAN, at least one miniPCI expansion slot, AND (this is the kicker) PoE capability on the internal switch so I could power VoIP phones. |
