router

We've been using a SonicWall TZ170 for several years, it's been working fine with occasional glitches.

Now we switched to a 100Mpbs broadband, and the firewall has become the bottleneck for internet access because its max throughput is around 20-30Mpbs.

Any ideas for a replacement? Brand/Model?

Just wondering if anyone has experience with the cisco 2911 or 2900 series routers. I understand it is newer and similar to the 2811 but more robust. The price difference is not that much more. I am trying to determine if I should go with the 29xx or 28xx series for a small-medium sized company… >>> More
