Hi all,
Was hoping someone could recommend a good Wireless Router that meets all of the following requirements:
-Password Lockouts: The router can be configured to only accept a certain number of login attempts per specified time interval (say, 5 login attempts every 10 minutes or so). I get a lot of password hack attempts on my router due to where I am. This is an essential feature for me.
-MAC Address Reconfigurable: The Router allows the user to alter the perceived MAC Address of the router via a certain menu option. This would ensure greater online anonymity.
-WiFi On/Off Switch: It would be very helpful if the router has a physical WiFi On/Off switch. Being able to disable the WiFi without having to log in to the Router's control panel is extremely convenient.
-WiFi Signal Strength Modulation: The more precisely the router allows the administrator to control the WiFi Signal Strength, the better. I'm in a densely populated area. Being able to precisely tweak the signal strength would be massively convenient.
-A Focus on Security: A Router with a superior Firewall, IDS/IPS, and advanced Packet Filtering would be ideal. I'm focused on security and also the ability to detect and trace malicious access attempts. The better and more detailed the Router's firewall and the more advanced its logging capabilities, the more clear my picture of network activity.
If anyone can name a router for an advanced, enthusiast home user that meets the above criteria, please do so.
Your assistance much appreciated.
