Pardon my "newbie-ness", but are there consumer level, <b>100Mbit WAN</b>, connection sharing routers available. Neither Linksys, nor Netgear seems to have anything. Are the commercial broadband solutions limited to 10Mbit on the Wan side?

Thanks for any help!

Pardon my "newbie-ness" :p but aren't all broadband options less than 100Mbit? I know cable and DSL is limited to 10Mbps, T1 goes at 1.5mbps and T3 goes at 45Mbps.

When 100Mb/sec. Internet connection will be available to the public, there will be an entry-level Cable/DSL WAN connection for this speed.

At the moment, the 10Mb/sec. WAN connections are more then capable to handle common Internet connection.

Thanks guys!
Sonic Wall SOHO2, eh?

I guess I should have given a better explanation. We are playing around with a network setup and were wondering how a consumer router DSL/Cable sharing solution (most or all seem to have basic hardware firewalls and DHCP) would fare against more expensive routers or software firewalls...

Great help, thank you!

D-link has a router here, if this is what your talking about. It is a 4 port 100Mbs router/switch with built in firewall,DHCP, and print server functions. The connection to the DSL/Cable is only 10Mbs but that is more than enough to go out to the net.


Doh, I just saw that you wanted more than 10Mbs for wan connection. Sorry dude, you'll have to spend some bills to get that with a higher end router.
