Thanks for the information everyone! Most I will spec out several solutions for them, but the preferred solution will probably be a firewall just because most appliances will do more routing then they would need. I was looking at the Sonicwall NS series because it looks like they provide good throughput for the price. Brielle: Thank you for the info about the Ethernet port on the ONT. I will make sure to relay that information. At this point I believe they would want to make their service stable and worry about maximum bandwidth once that is done. The router they have is the MI424WR, which is what I have for my home service. I don't have many complaints about it at home, however it's clear that it's not up to the task in the case of my client. They have had the router replaced by Verizon 4 times in about as many months. - Chris

I was actually corrected off list that its possible to get 100mbit over 100Base-TX, but its entirely possible that cheapie cards and such may not be able to hit that high of performance.

I believe its possible to install DD-WRT on the MI424WR. http://dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/MI424WR You might have luck with running pure Linux on that rather then Jungo's commercial linux abomination that Verizon uses. -- Brielle Bruns The Summit Open Source Development Group http://www.sosdg.org / http://www.ahbl.org
While I replied of list, RouterOS (Mikrotik) can do 100meg in many of their inexpensive devices. WE have a fiber loop here running our office that we can pull 70+ meg and its a 200 buck unit! We actually make a device called a PowerRouter, these are x86 versions, vs 680mhz mips processors. These can route at GigE speeds. Not to mention you get all of the firewalling, traffic management, QoS, etc with it as well. Just another option. ----------------------------------------------------------- Dennis Burgess, CCNA, Mikrotik Certified Trainer, MTCNA, MTCRE, MTCWE, MTCTCE, MTCUME Link Technologies, Inc -- Mikrotik & WISP Support Services Office: 314-735-0270 Website: http://www.linktechs.net LIVE On-Line Mikrotik Training - Author of "Learn RouterOS" -----Original Message----- From: Brielle Bruns [mailto:bruns@2mbit.com] Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2010 12:55 PM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: FIOS Router On 5/27/10 11:46 AM, Chris Burwell wrote:
