Mikrotik's 400 series routers are very good for this purpose. They are, in my opinion, better in most respects than either of the devices you mention, but cost is between your numbers. ;-) You can get from 1 to 9 ethernet ports for less than $200 with all the power you need to run good QOS management. Another alternative, though I'm not sure it would fit in the price model you mention, is ImageStream. They have all the power of Linux with the benefit of tested package interactions. VERY nice solution. -- ******************************************************************** *Butch Evans *Professional Network Consultation * *Network Engineering *MikroTik RouterOS * *573-276-2879 *ImageStream * *http://www.butchevans.com/ *StarOS and MORE * *http://blog.butchevans.com/ *Wired or wireless Networks * *Mikrotik Certified Consultant *Professional Technical Trainer * ******************************************************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
