Hi. I am looking for a router for my home network. I currently use
Sygate on my host machine and everything else is connected to it through
a hub and daisy chain. Can anyone recommend a good brand and maybe
model. I'm looking for something with at least 5 ports that is easy to
set up and maintain (I want be home so it has to be able to be set and
forgot until I can get back and have a look at it again). It would also
be good if it were gigabit enabled. I don't know much about routers and
know a little about home security (like windows is bad and when my new
pc comes Linux's goes on it) so if someone could also explain port
forwarding and other router related queries to me in plain English it
would be much appreciated.
