Linksys BEFSX41 << anyone here using this router/com

I'm looking forward to dumping Zone Alarm (I'm a big fan of FREE), but I'd like to make a good choice for a router to use with firewall protection to replace it.

I'm not looking to have multiple computers hooked up to it, I just want a good non-software based firewall that will allow the flexibility to play a few games through it. My major turnoff to Falcon 4 was having to completely drop my firewall to get it to hook up and it looks like I can't even do that now.

Opinions or suggestions of other equipment are appreciated,

Alex

I have been using a Linksys BEFSR41 for about 2 years now. no problems. the model you suggest looks like a newer version with added protection. it allows DMZ hosting so you will be able to connect to F4 or host f4 without bringing your system down.

so far so good. Been using it for about a week and nothing unusual. Easy to set up and looks as though it does the trick. Will let you know if anything strange comes up with it
