A Comparison of 802.11g Firewalls?

Posted by Cliff on from the protecting-your-airborne-packets dept.

peoria kid asks: "Does anybody know how to compare the firewall effectiveness between the different providers of 802.11g networking solutions? I am considering purchasing a base station for my parents and I do not know if the Apple Airport base station or others such as Lynksys, or Lucent have better encryption and firewall protection."

  1. D-Link by Tumbleweed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    D-Link is what I'd recommend. They, like other Aetheros (sp?) -based equipment, has 'turbo-g' mode at double the normal rate of 54mbps. Just as long as you aren't within interference range of another turbo-g network, of course. :)
