Hi, I want to know if you guys have experience with this kind of routers if you have any suggestions they will be appreciated as well.

So far I like this 2 products:

ZyXEL ZyWALL USG100 Unified Security Gateway Firewall w/50 VPN Tunnels, SSL VPN, 7 Gigabit Ports, and High Availability
http://amzn.com/B001AZP6O4

How much do you know about this brand? I dont know if its that they just focus on business products thats why I never heard about them.

Cisco Small Business RV042G Dual Gigabit WAN
http://amzn.com/B008CWW6VY

I like Cisco and I know about their products though I think the recommended usage of this one is no more than 10.

My criteria:
-Its needs a 2 WAN connection
-It really needs a good load-balance ability (taking fully advantage of having 2 WAN)
-support more than 10 pcs
-price, if possible the best bang for your money type of deal but I rather have a more future proof equipment so Im willing to pay more if that will give me peace of mind in the long run. (If you look at the ZyXEL ZyWall has a high price tag)

Like I said, if you have suggestions please share them.

Thank you very much in advance.

ZyXEL is an establish known company in the Networking Market.

I would suggest that you log to both products' support pages download the manuals/Data sheets, compare the features.

Then according the features needed and price make a decision.

I actually like what the ZyXel offers but to me that brand was unknown so i needed to know if people even heard off. now that i know that is a good company, i know which one to buy.

Have you used the search function? I (and others) have spoken about the RV042G numerous times on here now. There is also a review of it over at http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanw...o-rv042g-dual-gigabit-wan-vpn-router-reviewed

I have the RV042G and its a great small business router. Its been rock solid for me for over a year. I am thinking about moving to the ISA550 however as I would like to begin using SSL VPN and the RV042G doesn't have this capability.

Read the review and some in Amazon, I admit that this was my first choice but I decided to inform myself more on the ZyXel USG100 and it really sounds pretty solid.

Besides, we are thinking on moving to another location (which it will be much bigger since right now we are renting and there is a limit at how much you can improve a place you dont own) so it will mean more PCs and just the extensive options that right now we dont fully need but will in the near future seems like the best choice to me.
Still thank you very much for the input.
