Here's what I look for in a home firewall/router: - is the OS supported? - will the OS continue to be supported down the road (assuming that I upgrade regularly) - is there a team with a significant history of fixing problems quickly? - can I set it to automatically download the fixes and tell me it's ready? - if this one breaks, is it relatively easy to get a new one acting the same way? - can I back it up easily? - can it execute a full reboot in less than 30 seconds? (The last requirement means that you can reboot faster than most TCP sessions will time out, and thus users may not even notice the reboot. In turn, that means you will be content to upgrade and reboot when you feel like doing it, rather than waiting for a time convenient to other people.)
