- hp50g 14y agoDraytek Vigor. Any of the mid range units. Bomb proof, well supported and have VoIP support that isn't a piece of shit.
- rdl 14y agoJuniper SRX100 ($500), with Ubiquiti APs (~$100).
- MertsA 14y agoThat's a bit overkill don't you think? Do you really think a home user would have a need to run BGP?
- rdl 14y agoOverkill for a random home, but maybe OK if you WFH and need to vpn/IT wants manage a bunch of devices centrally/etc. $1k in equipment vs. $300 in equipment isn't that big a difference for a few important home users if you're already using all the same equipment in your other offices. (also a lot of startups have like 20 people working out of a home or condo, and they bump up against memory/crapiness/etc. limits of consumer routers and APs pretty hard.) OP asked for "low end commercial router", though.
