good dual WAN business router

I'm looking for a router that can failover all traffic to whichever connection is live, and also route traffic to specific WAN ports based on VLAN. I have a guest network that I want to send out a cable WAN connection, and keep the corporate traffic on the current T1.
I don't want to break the bank either.
 
The configuration for policy routing on Junos is a lot more straightforward than on Cisco.

Also, remember that inbound traffic flows (email, etc) will not failover.
 
That's not a problem, I know you need some sort of bonding to get that. So those 8 ports are free to configure as inbound or outbound? nice.
 
Yep...it's an 8 port managed switch. You can configure the ports to be anything you'd like...trunk ports, access ports, switch ports, or L3 ports.

Even on the SRX100B, you also get a full routing platform.
 
We used a Cisco 1800 for awhile, I wasn't fond of it.

I moved to Untangle, purchased their premium pack, I run 3 WANs and had it working the way I wanted to alot quicker than the Cisco.

I had used a Cisco ASA5505 for a similar setup and it just worked.

I'll have to check, they do have an ASA of some sort there. The hardware may be in place, already!
somehow I doubt it will have what I need, that is how murphy works.
 
IIRC, you need Security Plus licensing on an ASA5505 to do WAN failover.

That alone is more expensive than the SRX100B almost.
 
Check out Peplink routers. I'm setting up one of their Balance 20 routers in a residential application with a Verizon MiFi.

they do not support vlans yet, their loss IMO. I have a 20 with 3g failover in a facility.
you have to set up an outbound rule ,create a subnet, dink around in general.
The rules just sets a priority.
The WIFI I was using does VLAN tagging, it would be much nicer to do that.

The SRX210 can have an internal 3G interface...via ExpressCard. I haven't used it, but it works pretty well, as I understand.
