    Yeah, I had conflicting info about the 10. Well, I used to have the
    zywall 2x and the 2, it is the same, just without the x, no idea why
    they did it. Anyway it had the features i like except for no keyword
    filtering. the 10 does have that. everything else i think is the same.
    the 2 has nice bandwidth information logging and reporting. i love how
    it shows you what local ip did what and how much they downloaded per
    port/protocol and so on. it just didn't have keyword filtering. so i saw
    a review on the zywall 10 and that review said it did not have a reset
    switch. i was glad because for security i don't want someone to be able
    to hit the button to delete the password in the router. so i went to
    zywall web site and saw for the 10 a pdf file that said there is a reset
    button however in the phot in the pdf file for the 10 it had no reset
    switch at all. then i called them and a guy named Tan said it has a
    reset switch and that he was looking at it right then. so i was very
    confused and then finally from another tech found out the orriginal 10
    did not have a reset switch, but the 10w does have it and i think the 10
    II might not have it cus the toms hardware review was using the 10 II.
    Well, the 10w is the only one not discontinued so i did not want to buy
    a product that is end of life. so i bought the 10w.
