Collective Wisdom Needed on SOHO Router/Firewall/VPN Endpo..

I'm not familiar with the Trendware but the others don't strike me as
"Business" class stuff. Start looking at Cisco and other such vendors
to get the higher quality you are looking for. Yes they are more $$ but
but in today's world its very rare that you get more than you payed for.

If you don't want to look like a schmuck, don't put in consumer class
hardware. Look at Sonic Wall, Watch Guard, Firebox, Snap Gear. Sorry, but
you have got to spend the money.
