Hi Guys, since you are such a knowledgable bunch when it comes to computers, I thought i'd ask your advice.

I'm looking at getting a 4-port ADSL router.

It must have VPN Pass through, and pref a firewall.

So far the only one that appeals is the Netgear one, but could you guys give me any ideas to what else is available, and any reccomendations?

oh, and it must be sub 100GBP...

I can reccomend Netgear stuff

Ive been installing them for over a year here at work and not had any downtime yet

I got all ours from www.ebuyer.co.uk

I've installed a Netgear unit for a couple of people, not what I use personally but for the money they seem good. Also have a look at Linksys.

Netgear for sure, I've installed them on a couple of sites.

Good after sales support as well, I've called them up a few times, and even though the fault was found to be BT in the end, they still sent me an upgrade pack and a call back service.

personally i like Linksys stuff..

they got a Instant Broadband™EtherFast®Cable/DSL Firewall Router with 4-Port Switch/VPN Endand amazon do it for 40 quid

or EtherFast Cable/DSL VPN Router with 4-Port 10/100 Switch for 92 quid

I know the second one very well, as it has one of our chips in there! The only issue with those two products is they are designed to terminate the VPN, which will mean all the traffic from my other PC's will have to go through the works server, whereas with pass through, only the work machine will have to.

Thanks for the advice guys, you've given me something to chew over..
