Well I don't know what to think of that router as there aren't many reviews for that one but there seems to be problems for some with many claims of poorly written firmware although the hardware sounds ok 400Mhz, 32mb ram but flash of 4mb I guess we will just have to see

As for the Netgear reliablity, mine has been rock solid for months with no problems at all on wired or wireless connections, and I've not heard of anyone else having problems with it either.

Ahh yes I did a quick Google and found a few complaints but might have been for the v1 but upon more research, upon more research thou if the WRN1000v2 dosn't work out or I need more options and features I might get the WRT160NL and load DD-WRT as I always liked the WRT54GS but thats getting a Lil underpowered with my family using the net more these days and at £59.99 compared to around £150 plus the effort and head scratching of setting up the ALIX with BSD
Thanks, big help so far everyone always have problems deciding things alone, even if I do sound like I'm talking to myself or going off on a tangent

I've been tempted by the ALIX route, but I'm not sure how well it'll cope with also being my imap/webmail server as well as dutifully virus scanning everything that goes in or out.
Currently I'm using an Asrock A330 NG (Atom based PC motherboard) in place of the old AMD64 that was running it, and moved the old mysql/www sites over to a bytemark vm.
The savings in electricity pay for the VM

I'm using an old Watchguard Firebox to run pfSense. After some tweaking it runs around 40W but that gives me 10 individual interfaces, 3 of them gigabit and one wireless. It cost me £40 from Ebay.
Please ask if you want to know anything.

I am another VM refugee and have been using pfsense on an ALIX with them for quite some time.
How are you running it on PN? Does the pfSense box have an Internet valid IP address?

I have an ALIX (2 Ethernet) with a WLAN card and it works great. Linitx also carry a neat little box with the right cut-outs for a wireless aerial too.

The Vigor 120 can act as a pure pppoa to pppoe bridge, and does by default. So you just plug it into your adsl line and your pfSense WAN port and use pppoe. pfSense then receives a proper internet addressable IP.
