Thanks for the suggestions.

I have 30 machines (7 &amp;&nbsp;XP) with an SBS 2011. My D-link DIR 655 is about to become a wireless access point. &nbsp;It keeps crashing when the traffic gets heavy, and I can't seem to find a fix. &nbsp;Anyways... &nbsp;I have two broadband internet connections (Long Story). &nbsp;So, I want a new router with dual WAN ports. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Any suggestions? &nbsp;I have heard the D-link dual wan router is the best are far as features and ease of use, but it just doesn't work half the time.<br />
<br />
Netgear makes a dual, but it's not wireless, which is ok since I'll have the 655 for that. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Any other suggestions?<br />

THanks,<br />

Need a new router

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Routers

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
