-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I dropped a hardware router a long time ago. I had one of the first linksys routers that seemed slow. Went to a "whitebox router" using maybe ipcop or something. Then i built up my own from a debian install and that's run for a couple years now, very responsive, and no problems with several thousand connections (torrents)
All that being said, i've recently tried pfsense <http://www.pfsense.org/>. It's basically monowall but while monowall was designed to run on embeded systems, pfsense was designed to be installed in a standard computer that you want to turn into a router. I tried it out and haven't looked back. It has no problems handling a lot of connections, has built in OpenVPN support, packet shaping, and all that other fun network stuff. It's free and you can run it off the cd or install it to the hard drive (recommended if you decide to keep it). It can handle PPPoE (what your dsl probably uses) and do dns updates through DynDNS and a few other services. Since this was just a standard computer with two NICs in it (external and internal) I have a separate netgear wireless router that I just have an internal ip address and use it as wireless access point and it works fine. This sollution may be a little more complicated than what you're looking at, especially if you don't have an old computer laying around, but for more "power users" I would recommend something like this.
