D-Link VPN Router > DSR-500
Business Router with Firewall (or UTM)
AugTech:
Office is moving to new space. New office getting new network equipment.
Considering a Sonicwall for UTM. However we were using the DIR-655 and some of the DAP equipment.
Business size: 6 wired and 3-5 wireless. 1 WAN port needed. Need 16 ports (for network printers/scanners/copiers/desktops). No VPN needed.
This is a professional company and needs security more than speed.
Suggestions for a implementation? Thanks.

Link>Welcome!
* What region are you located?
Are you looking to upgrade from your DIR-655 router?
What Rev is the 655?
What ISP Speed will you have at this business?
What ISP mfr and model modem is installed here or will be installed?
A 16-24 port external Gb switch will be needed. Possible a patch panel for multi room LAN port connections.
What kind of DAP models do you have?
AugTech:
I am not at that office at the moment.
Not sure of rev of 655 or DAPs.
ISP speed is 50Mbs down.
ISP modem has not yet been installed at the new location.
If you had a blank new network with the parameters I stated, what would you get?
FurryNutz:
I set up a similar small office with a DIR-655 for 3 PCs and two VOIP phones and a couple of wireless phones and two printers. DIR-655 handles it just fine.
Any current problems with the router your using currently?

My issue with the DIR-655 is the firewall. The 655 was not a UTM device/appliance. And the UTM firewalls have been discontinued by DLink and Netgear.
My question: for small companies that need security and not speed (as for gaming or streaming media) what is the router / firewall suggestion?
Thanks for your suggestions.
