Could you help me decide?

[larrys2006]

I am looking for a hard wired no wi-fi router but I do not know what specs I need to look for, I will get the 50 meg Verizon fios to start and I will run cat 6a to the ont either port. I use bittorent so I will have a lot of simultaneous connections maybe 250 or more and watch vids. I am looking at these units but I do not know what is the most reliable and easiest to configure.

Doesn't Verizon FIOS enforce NAT?

 

[larrys2006]

I do not know and even I tried to ask verizon they either did not know or want to answer to a non user.

 

[Nate7311]

The ERL will be easier to configure of the 2 and neither will be as easy as a higher end consumer router.

 

[larrys2006]

As far as the boards their self not the ez of config what is the better?

 

[diizzy]

You need to look up that first otherwise you're wasting your money...

Exactly what words should I use so it is perfectly clear what I am asking?
