SonicWALLs are targeted at SMB and above. They don't really have 'entry-level' boxes. I currently have a TZ170 and SonicPoint combo, and don't have any serious issues with it. There are some minor issues, but there's no product I know of that doesn't have some issues... On the whole I am pretty satisfied with them and would recommend them to others. (BTW: I do not sell SonicWALLs nor do I work for the company) Other people like Zyxel's, which I think are crap...
