suggestions for a wireless router with 8 LAN ports?
Hi all, I'm looking for a wireless router with 8 LAN ports, for installation in a laboratory environment where we have a whole bunch of computers in one room.
The issue is that nearly all consumer wireless routers ($50-$200) have only 4 LAN ports. I have only found one affordable model that has 8 ports, the Netgear FVG318
Does anyone know how good this thing is? It gets very mixed reviews on Newegg. I'm not too concerned about wireless range (we don't need more than about 50 feet) but it does need to be very reliable for wired use. And this model seems kind of slow with only 12.5 Mbps LAN-to-WAN... is there a way to turn off the firewalling and crank it up to line speed?
Can anyone recommend any other models of wireless router with 8-port LAN in
