Since their's no such thing as a 150Mbps LAN/WAN ports, you need to get
one with gigabit ports. The Mikrotik RB751G-2HnD...has 5 Gig ports and

30dBi/1000mW 802.11b/g/n wireless is you need it. SRP is $80.
Well if you want to get picky there are 150 Mbps (STS-3) ports, but
they're pretty obscure nowadays. I think Cisco supports them for ATM,
though it may be historical, not current product. I'm curious what the
application is. Ancient Cisco stuff like that does show up on eBay at
pretty low prices, but anything new and under $1k or so will probably
only have Ethernet ports.
Well, if you want to get picky, those would actually be (if memory
serves) 155.52 Mbps and, of course, it's only called STS-3 (STS-3c,
technically) if it's an electrical carrier (an optical carrier being
referred to as OC-3c)... but I'm sure you know all this, Fred.
While I'd certainly agree that new SONET deployments likely are few and
bar between, there's still a huge installed base out there (indeed, one
of our upstreams network is mostly SONET).
I think it's safe to say, though, that we all know what Bret meant and
that these well, *technically*, ... posts (including this one) add
nothing of value to the conversation.
