Im looking for an easy to use router/firewall software for my home network.I was trying different ones but till now i was not happy with any of them.
Setup is : cablemodem - router : mITX PC with onboard NIC and gb PCI-e NIC - gb switch - 3 computers and one laptop.
Software i was trying already:
- Smoothwall: no support for sata drives , so cant install it.
- vyatta: got stuck at the middle of the installation process, manual and online videos were not very helpfull.
- untangle: i got it to work, but it refuses to use the NIC's the way i want to and second is that internet speed goes down to a 56k dial up like experience.
-Monowall: no support for PCI-e interface NIC.
-clearOS: didnt find the NIC's
well is there any easy to setup and easy to use software that doesnt slow down my connection speed either , so i can download and have the browser and messenger service open at the same time ?
TY
