[nflug] Router Recommendations

Not to put words in John's mouth... But I often hear complaints about those
little boxes at anything more than 10-15 users. Usually the issue is
something like lost packets and connections that get slower under load,
users who briefly lose their Internet and then get it back after a few
seconds, and general glitchy-ness. It doesn't seem to be bandwidth per se,
but more of an inability to reliably handle that much NAT traffic.

What part of it have you outgrown?? If it's a router for a T, it should be
able to handle the (small) amount of traffic of 1.5Mbs..
Is it firewalling, internal lan routing, or something else that you've
outgrown?

Hi,

   It seems that we've outgrown our cheap little SOHO type routers.  I'm
looking for a good, reliable router which can handle two WAN connections (we
have a T with cable backup) and 30 users.  I've been able to soften the blow
to my boss that we can't get away with $75 routers anymore. ;)

Any recommends are appreciated.
