Only advise i have to give about dual WAN routers is that when you make a connection to the internet you are going to end up using one of 2 IP address, most of the time this is fine however if your IP address changes whilst in the middle of say doing some online banking the secure website will kick you off.

You need to setup a rule for HTTPS (port 443) to only use one of the WAN links to stop this.

In terms of security i love being able to create firewall rules that make sense rather than the wierd way most home routers work.

And to answer your question – yes you cant run your home server without electricity so be aware of your carbon footprint when you are leaving it running all the time.

If comparing consumer grade with corporate grade is to be a regular feature then perhaps someone who understands that market place ought to write some of the articles.

On the other hand I agree with some of what you originally said – but not the way you said it – I dont see why THIS company got so much of their documentation reproduced directly in someones blog. – Why not a similar entry for CISCO or LUCENT or JUNIPER – all of which produce enterprise class routers similar to this one.

It just did not feel like an actual review. There are several manufacturers claims that are just copied here without any proof. Like better security, high performance, enhanced VPN, etc compared to 'consumer router'.

From reading this article I just don't see why pay premium. Yes, some people believe if it cost more it will work better (like the guy above talking about QoS). I base my opinion on something more substantial. At least show us some tests that it is in fact High Performance Router compared to the run-of-the-mill d-link or linksys.
