Linksys Wifi/Switch/Router has no firewall?

Archived from groups: comp.security.firewalls (More info?)

I was hoping you could control outgoing ports on a Linksys router, i.e limit
outgoing to ports 80, 443, 21. But it seems none of their products do this.

Who makes a WiFi/switch(hub)/router for DSL that has a real firewall?
Should be not much over $100, $200 at the most.

Sure they do, it's the private port range in one of the tabs.

On the security tab, under firewall, there is only 'Firewall Protection,
enable/disable.

The only thing about 'port range' is for port forwarding under 'Applications
and Gaming'.

No Linkysys wireless B series has a FW. I don't know about the G series,
but it most likely doesn't have a FW either.
