After I wrote this, I learned from someone that Zywall 2X is actually 6Mbps
in upload and download rather than 12Mbps in both directions as I thought.
Therefore, I guess I would need to go with the 10 series, and the 10 II
series seems to have a slower cpu and less current firmware updates than the
10W. So now it looks like the Zywall I would need is the 10W which is
around $250+ which is more than I wanted to spend. The 10 II is only $20 or
so cheaper so if I did go Zywall it would be the 10W. Also the 10W doesnt
have a built in switch so thats even more money I would have to spend.
