| What firewall are you using that is capable of 50 Mbps? Now that my Comcast service was bumped from 25 to 50 Mbps I find that my firewall can't handle the full 55 Mbps downstream traffic when firewall rules are enabled, limiting the speed to about 35 Mbps.
What firewall are you using that can handle the traffic? |

I built a small computer with an Atom D510 processor with 2 GB RAM, 2 gigabit NICs (one integrated and the other is a PCI card I believe), and I use a compact flash card for storage (OS + logs). I've had it for like 2 years so far and it still works very well. It's running pfSense 2.1 BETA. |

My D-Link DIR-657 works fine with the new speeds. |

With my own testing, I've found that my Netgear WNDR-3700 v2 router tops out at about 150 Mbps when running DD-WRT, and 500-550 Mbps when running stock firmware (I think it might be OpenWRT based). SPI firewall, NAT, and port forwarding are all in use.

pfsense 2.something on an Atom. 50 is yawn inducing. |

Its only good for about 100mbps firewalled throughput (full UTM throughput substantially less), but it offers a lot of bang for the buck and is probably my most treasured piece of hardware!

Sophos UTM 9 (formerly Astaro Security Gateway) running in a VM on ESXi 5.1. Throughput is limited to the NIC's attached.
I have full web filtering, anti virus, firewalling, etc running. |

| Juniper SSG5. Handles 100Mbp/sec with firewall, VPNs, deep packet inspection, policies, telnet or GUI, 5 LAN ports, etc.
Doesn't breathe hard with Comcast high speed services. Pretty much a steal since it is EOL. |

I also have a PFSense box based upon an old Intel P4 @ 3GHz, 2GB RAM, 20GB HDD and 3 Intel Pro1000 NICs (2 WAN + 1 LAN). It barely makes the CPU meter come up off 0-1% when I download something at 100Mb/s. I think I hit 12% CPU utilization when I tested 140Mb/s on 2 connections.

Appreciate the recommendations.
I'm not interested in just having firewall software on clients. I'm looking for a hardware firewall.
Nor am I interested in pfsense or FreeBSD or similar running on general purpose hardware (especially on something like an old Pentium 4 space heater).
Actually, I'm probably just going to downgrade my Comcast service. I don't honestly have much justification for paying for 50 Mbps. |

Did you look here - many cheap hardware routers with firewalls can handle your throughput
