I was researching the other firewalls to compare to the one for 18$ with no box sold bare and I think without a warranty some people are saying, and really liked all the reviews I could find on this one. A few complained the other deal didn't have support or updates available anymore so I also wondered what was out there that was new.
The throughput on this in the review seemed to peak around 6.7. Some people complain the soho clone in the other thread cut off around 1.6-7?
Opinions?
I wonder how the firewall in each unit stacks up against the other for protection?
multi-functional broadband router combines a 4-port 10/100Mbps dual-speed switch, a built-in print server, an RS232 COM port for fail-over dial-up or modem connections, an Internet firewall for security against hackers and other unauthorized users, and simultaneous Internet access for up to 253 users.
Features:
4-port 10/100Mbps switch
56Kbps external modem port
4 auto-MDIX/MDI ports
Built-in firewall
Built-in print server
VPN support
Web-based configuration
I hear more and more about friends having their systems hacked badly that have always on connections, such as DSL or a cable modem. Even those with good software firewalls like ZoneAlarm.

It seems to have won quite a few awards. I have seen a 5$ off 50$ coupon if you can find it.
Zonelabs has zonealarm, an excellent free software firewall, though I don't think any software firewall could even be anywhere near as good as ANY hardware version.
Its a quick easy down and set up is not awful, I recommend it for people as my first choice for people who don't want to or need a physical firewall appliance.
