Hey guy's, This might not be the best forum, but I figured I would get some good insight from the more network savvy members. I am looking for suggestions on what would be the best home network router to purchase, and who develops the best 3rd party software for the above router? My neighbor and I have a GE network link buried between our houses, I want to place a router between the networks.
With OEM S/W most "home" routers only have 2 routed interfaces, and the WAN routed interface will usually only support one ARP entry. Good 3rd party software will allow you to support multiple routed interfaces, eliminating the above WAN interface shortcomings, or alternatively allow for multiple L3 interfaces on the LAN switch portion of the unit. I also require a sustained throughput of 50mbps for HD video and support for static routes. We currently have my neighbor's Ubuntu box with 2 NIC's acting as as router, between the two networks, but this is causing me havoc because he is running his SC on the above box, which is causing my controller to flip out. Apparently his SC is a newer version, which prompts my controller to try and upgrade. Alternatively, does anyone know how to limit SC to communicate out a single NIC on Ubuntu? Any feedback would be appreciated. -- sfraser 2 Chan.
