Title: What firewall / router do you recommend? Post by: icanoe on May 03, 2018, 10:01:33 PM Wondering what you guys use as a firewall. I know the meraki mx64w has been recommended by people in the past but just looking for something secure, user friendly, remote access and fail-over capabilities.
I'm not a network guy so thanks for understanding in advanced. ;D sparky Cheers Title: Re: What firewall / router do you recommend?

Post by: dacutey1023 on May 04, 2018, 12:35:19 AM Why not Make your own ? I have a regular PC running Pfsense (Router + Firewall).
I use this four port NIC I350T4V2BLK this NIC https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Intel-OEM-I350T4V2BLK-Ethernet-Server-Adapter-Gigabi-4-Port-RJ45-PCI-Express/112400469306?hash=item1a2b970d3a:g:NHEAAOSwhvFZEIBT. If you want to match the power of that firewall with a cisco switch WS-C3750G-48PS-S is a perfect pair. for wireless connection I use an access point (AP). Title: Re: What firewall / router do you recommend? Post by: nsummy on May 04, 2018, 12:37:28 AM Are you looking for wireless built in? Or just a straight up firewall? If you don't mind building your own, look up pfsense. If you want wireless, this is probably a better alternative to meraki (for home use anyway) https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/RT2600ac

I'm just looking for a hard wired firewall I can add downstream from the service provider's modem. No wireless. Not as technical as some of you guys are so building my own seems daunting. Is it worth spending $1000-$1500 on this? With a license too. Title: Re: What firewall / router do you recommend? Post by: billhinge on May 04, 2018, 04:37:57 PM if you aren't fully paranoid just read the online reviews and pick one to your budget, if you are then get an enterprise grade fortigate with zero day AV for about a grand and use both ;D

Title: Re: What firewall / router do you recommend? Post by: icanoe on May 10, 2018, 03:10:14 PM The juniper Srx220 seems like it has all the bells and whistles. A little pricey but I'm sure it does a superior job.
Is ZyXEL USG60-NB any good? $675 Canadian on amazon doesn't look too bad. Even the USG60 with security bundle, $871 Canadian. |
