i have tried 3 main linux routers. And here is what i have found.

1. Smoothwall works well, but is the least robust. It's perfect if you have never used one before.

2. IP COP is a little more robust but the interface leaves a lot to be desired for.

3. monowall this one is extreml simplistic and incredible small (only a couplf of megs) How ever it's interface is extremely simplistic. How ever one plus side is it is capable fo connection to a sonicwall vpn appliance while the other 2 can't.

Personally i never liked d-link. If it were me i would get a netgear.

1. Netgear Prosafe
2. D-link
3. Linksys

I have had my netgear running fine for years with no issues. The other feature i love about it is that it auto reboots every day at 4 am.
