Quality DSL router for a business?

JohnCleary · 13-05-2014 08:26PM #1

OK long story short, i'm getting rid of a Windows server as there's no need for it. It was handling DHCP etc. (as it was installed many years ago) and the dsl router was used as a bridge.

There's only about 10 machines and some printers/photocopiers on the network so nothing a router won't handle.

That said, I need a quality DSL router so I don't need to worry about it dying after a year.

Can anyone recommend a quality DSL router? Budget would be max €250 ('ish)

Story with firewalling? Usually in the SME environment a modem + Sonicwall combo goes down well. Might be something to consider.

If not, I put a fair bit of faith in Netgears Prosumer gear:

There's a SonicWALL there already yeah but happy to remove this if an 'all in one' solution could be found.

Cheers for the link will give it a look

-Edit- A pre-requisite would be a guest Wi-Fi network

All the better netgears have guest SSIDs built in and ready to go with 1 click.

Yeah cheers for that, appears it'd do the job.

I'd love to get my hands on a nice Cisco DSL router... bring me back to college days
