i dont need a gigabit, rather i want 100Mbps.
The WRT has 10/100 Mbps interfaces, the Cisco routers up to the 2811 have 10/100 interfaces. If you need to have 6 or 7 different interfaces you won't find that on a consumer grade router (the WRT).
Technically there is no such thing though Cisco seems to be one of the closest to approach that. I think I know what you mean though (not a PC).
Mr Neil Cherry do u mean that there isnt any such hardware that enable ip_forwarding between those networks.
My apology for bringing up this subject, sometimes I am too picky for my own good. Correct there is always software involved hence no such thing as a hardware router. It's a minor quibble, some Cisco routers have hardware (ASICs) that accelerates routing. I would expect this to be true in any of the larger router platforms from any vendor. One more thing, firmware is just software in a chip. I don't consider that strictly hardware. I guess my quibble is really for naught as there is also no such things as a strict software router since there must be hardware to support it. Maybe it's best to define this as a dedicated router (a Cisco router) vs a non-dedicated router ( a PC with router software). -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog http://home.comcast.net/~ncherry/ Backup site
