New Router..

Post by hpprinter100 »

So my current router is a not very good as it does not have VPN support apart from pass-through.

So i am looking for a new router but i am unsure on what to get.

It would need to have support for VPN so that i can connect to a swissvpn account and then have computers on the network connect to the router but not all the computers on the network.

So what would you recommend?

and what router do you currently have?

I have a router/DSL modem combo from Netgear:

I can really recommend it (there are also versions without modem of course), Netgear is simply the best imo...also the features provide all you need (VPN too).

both packet sniffing and wardriving only depends on the network card, has nothing to do with the router... :wink:

for wardriving you mean?
best look for Buffalo ones, might have changed in the meantime (I'm not really an active wardriver anymore since I have a fast internet connection), but in my active days Buffalo cards were the top ones because some of them had external antenna connectors...can be used for the famous "cantenna" for example (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantenna).... :wink:

you're welcome! :D
the DG834G runs on Linux btw, you can initiate a debug mode that starts a telnet server on the router where you can access the embedded Linux OS.... :)
