I think really highly of the Juniper SRX240h2, for example, but if you aren't planning on moving a couple hundred megabits per second across several links, it's probably wasted. ($2400ish, btw.) At another scale, a Routerboard RB2011 is $129 right from the manufacturer (http://routerboard.com/RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN ) and will supply wifi, 5 gig-e ports, 5 fast-e ports, and will certainly handle a house or small office with alacrity. -dsr-
