Advice, please. I set up a small business here with Windows Home Server, an ASUS RT-N66U, and a small unmanaged switch. They have a very large area to cover with wireless and that ASUS does it perfectly whereas their previous router only covered about 1/2 the area. There are about 8-10 organization machines. However, with phones, etc. there could be 20-50 devices on the guest wireless at any given time. (Don't really care if we can support 50 on guest)
Here are my needs:
- Log dhcp leases (ASUS firmware can't)
- provide guest wireless limited to something like only ports 80 and 443.
- provide 'registered' LAN and wireless for organization machines.
- provide content filtering for the entire network that disallows adult content, gambling, etc.
- prioritize the registered network for QoS
- Block torrents completely for the entire network
I'm told Merlin's firmware will do some of this and that may be an option, but would like to know what is most efficient and cheapest. I also wonder about Tomato and DD-WRT.
I'm familiar with ForitGate units, but never used them for content filtering. I was just told about Pandora's Hope and contacted them to see if they can handle all my needs, including bandwidth, but I doubt it.
Suggestions, please.
