Hi, SSG520M and SSG550M are exactly the same hardware as the J series routers. Their price is also equal. So you can choose if you need a router or a security device and use the apropriate software. You can benefit from keeping only one device in your spare stock and backup both SSG and J series. It's just made for flexibility
