good dual WAN business router

[skyking]

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.

Cisco IOS routers or Juniper can do this.

Juniper SRX100 can do it for ~$500.

 

[skyking]

thank you. I am looking at that now.

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.

 

[skyking]

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.

 

[drebo]

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.

Very nice price!

I can handle that

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.

 

[drebo]

IIRC, you need Security Plus licensing on an ASA5505 to do WAN failover.

That alone is more expensive than the SRX100B almost.

I believe you are correct, we dropped around $1100 for the unit new.

Check out Peplink routers. I'm setting up one of their Balance 20 routers in a residential application with a Verizon MiFi.

Would this work? Not technically a router...

Been hearing good things about this company and model lately.

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.
