I've got Verizon DSL (east coast version with PPPoET on a dumb Westell Wirespeed dsl modem).
I have three wired computers currently attached to a Linksys Switch and a Linksys WAP54G to serve my laptops and my computer in the basement.
I currently use Sygate Home Networking with Sygate Firewall Pro, however, the Verizon DSL doesn't play well with the Sygate software router in Home Networking. Verizon is telling me I have to use a hardware router.
Instead of paying for extra firewall installs on each machine once I install a hardware router, I'd like to get a hardware firewall/router combo instead.
I run Windows 2000 Workstation (i.e., Pro) on each machine.
What's your experience? What's your recommendations?
