hardware firewall for small office

buzz11 · 2011-01-05 09:48:59

Hi, Can anyone recommend a hardware firewall for small office (8 users) connected to UPC broadband, however it needs to be easy to setup and use. I've been looking at the Cisco 881-K9 but it mentions annual subscriptions which I don't really want as I already have AVG on the server and PC's. Thanks!

I usually recommend this http://www.zyxel.com/web/product_family_detail.php?PC1indexflag=20040908175941&CategoryGroupNo=2AAB8FF5-7ADD-4E59-9D6E-D4810031CEEF - it retails for around €400.

What exactly do you want the firewall to do? Provide just security or other features such as web filtering, VPNs etc.

If you want something that just protects you from the outside then you could get something cheaper

Hi, thanks for the advice.
My requirements are just security and web filtering, no need for wireless or VPN, so quite basic really.
