Any Gigabit Load Balancing Routers For Home Use ~ 2x 300mbps Fibre

[Dr_ARCHer]

Bro, thats a firewall not router.

Errr... they are Layer 3 devices, right?

Tik Guru @ Blue Forum suggested RB1200 to load balance and it hits 1+ Gbps NAT throughput

RB1200 & EdgeRouter Lite not much difference - since you mentioned you have no time - don't touch either solution.

That's my advise.

You can try asking the price for the following:
SRX5308

Shall not say where this is deployed - but let's just say they're runnig 2x 300Mbps fibre through this at the moment.

using RB1100AH now for my ST200 and VQ300..

LoL.... $740

Try the Mushroom. good LB..but expensive.. otherwise use Linux or Windows Server 2012

But tested and proven - when i was on course at this location i personally tried it

FortiGate-80C @ $1200

FortiGate-80C @ $1200

80C? Don't bother...

Worked with the 110C & the newest 100D - after adding UTM/AV etc. maintenance - averages out close to $3K - really love these over sonicwall - anytime.

Can try looking at Sonicwall - Have got a TZ 205 now with me for testing - pretty decent - tested OK on a 200Mbps Singtel line...

Should suffice your requirements.

 

[t258jgn]

FortiGate-100D @ $3000
FortiGate-110C @ $2600

 

[dethangel]

FortiGate-100D @ $3000
FortiGate-110C @ $2600

yeap bout there...

see how you spec it.

Sonicwall TZ 205/215 more wallet friendly - but licensing & usual addons will bloat the price upwards 1K mark.

I am intending to get a Zywall 50 or 70. I used to have a Zywall 5 and 10, and they are absolutely solid routers.

PS. I'm waiting for my 2nd line from VQ, so we can exchange notes on how to do the setup.

i have usg50 at home for singtel fibre 50M. 2nd WAN link connected to an old starhub hubstation 1M free internet for backup purpose. from its spec, it can only do up to 225Mbps throughput for its firewall. take this into consideration.

My 1 cent of input.

Peplink Balance - Compare Specs

But I think u won't want to pay the price juz for home usage.

But some people seems to suggest that the Zywall is better than the Peplink.

why dont bother with 80c? spec seems higher then 110c

I'm using 110c for office, very good and fast, and cheap too (compare to cisco + symantec utm + aruba)

He's using for 300Mbps

Ports are 100 base only...

I've got a couple of sites on 110C / 100A / 300 series... love all of them.

Can't say much for their firmware support.

Currently pissed to the max as they had me upgrade 1 of my sites - which - not sure why - caused the forticlient license key to go missing and they're refusing to help me recover it.

Both zywall and peplink, only the higher end gets you the NAT throughput
Not the "fake" unrealistic value given by manufacturer themself.

And those can cost 4 digits. Pointless - unless one is willing to roll the money.

80c also got 2 GE and the rest FE, same as 110c

similar experience with the firmware, os5 quite buggy

Guys, 2 WAN links is not equal 2 internet links. With 1 device, at most is a failover, the problem is default route.

You got to have proxies to load-balance 2 consumer internet links. I don't think you owned a net block with public ASN, isn't it?

 

[epigram]

Cisco rv042g?

I think it does load balancing but I use Oort for fail over
