In the market for a new router.

1) Budget $120 NO REBATES or bundles :colbert:
2) Guest Network: Bandwidth/internet throttling/filtering (I don't want guests coming over and torrenting, surfing pron etc etc.:ninja:
3) Guest Network: Internet LOGGING.
4) AWESOME COVERAGE
5) Stable as a rock
6) RUNS COOL
7) VPN SUPPORT
8) MACK ADDRESS FILTERING for Private Network.
9) Ability for Xbox to join private network with little fuss ( I use it to stream video to the living room T.V)


I just don't have time to Reseach! Thanks a ton in advance.

What do you mean by VPN support?

Are you looking for VPN End Point?

VPN pass-through for IPSec
VPN pass-through for PPTP
VPN pass-through for L2TP

Something that actually works and doesn't bog down the whole router. A common feature for sure but few exectute with out numerous hitches.

The best solution is to get a Good Dual radio Wireless Router and a $20 - $30 802.11b/g Wireless.

Put the b/g Wireless on the main Router and use it as a Guest Wireless.

You can even configure it as a 802.11b if you want really to "choke" the guest.

For $108 this is probably a Good Choice.

Otherwise, contact Capt. Kirk, looking at the Enterprise computer he might know when a single unit that meet the demands and price on your will be available. :p - ;).
