Hey Guys,
I am having tough time deciding what firewall hardware to buy so I need some advise? Any network or IT specialist who knows all about this stuff? I am willing to spend to about $300 or so if necessary... This is for home use.
I need a rock solid high performance SPI firewall with fast thoroughput speed... Right now, my cable modem is capable up to 15MB/s download and can be upgraded to 30MB/s download... so I don't want a typical bottleneck with consumer grade.
SPI
Denial of Service Alert...
Antivirus and Anti spyware is nice but not necessary.
Reliability... Number 1 importance... I do not want to reboot often... I think someone is doing DoS on my... locking up my router... It never had problem before until recently... I never had to reboot my router for months... and all of the sudden I had multiple reboots within a week.
Your help is very much appreciated.
Wireless is not important as I can use my existing router as access point.
