Not familiar with specific types, but I've had best results with the routers |
| 9 |
from Zyxel. The one I used to use (ADSL) would provide a lot of information |
| 10 |
via SNMP and other logging-options. |
| 11 |
Also, this one had no problem with multiple (1000+) simultaneous connections. |
| 12 |
Which is something other brands suffer from regularly. |

I understand the sentiment. I've since stopped using pre-made routers as I had |
| 19 |
the machine running anyway as a home-server and moving the router/firewall/... |
| 20 |
onto the server wasn't too much of a change and did mean I could switch off a |
| 21 |
small device. |
