Suggestions for SOHO networking gear
- by jakemcgraw
I'm a software developer in my day to day job but have landed a contract position to spec out and install the computer equipment for a small office.
Ease of use (easy installation, low maintenance and good support) is priority number one, it supersedes price by a wide margin. The installation we had in mind would support up to ten workstations.
I was originally going to go with Netgear hardware for firewall, switch duties:
Firewall: NETGEAR UTM25-100NAS
Switch:NETGEAR GS724T
but have been told Sonicwall firewalls are easier to configure.
So, sysadmins, if ease of use was priority number one, what hardware would you purchase for firewall, switch duties?
