<div dir="auto">I would suggest that you look at the ubiquity edgerouter lite. 3 ports, 1 Wan, 2 lan, and a management port. Capable of a good amount of traffic. And it gets you all sorts of business class features for a good price. Then you can do wifi however you like. It's about 130 and will go on sale for down to 95. I use one happily connecting it to a switch and from there to my wifi servers etc. </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Oct 26, 2019, 12:17 PM <<a href="mailto:techlists@phpcoderusa.com">techlists@phpcoderusa.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>It appears I am having Internet router problems. Occasionally I will not be able to access the Internet for a few seconds to a minute or so. This morning I was not able to access the Internet at all. </p>
<p>I am with Cox and have a home office business account. I called Cox and they suggested bypassing my router and connect directly to their modem. That worked. Based on that I think my router is going bad. </p>
<p>I had turned off the modem and the router for a maybe an hour or so while I did other things. I now have access.</p>
<p>I would like a secure router. Cox says almost any modern router will be secure. Security is a big issue. When I look at all the WiFi that is available in my neighborhood I see maybe 10 routers. That is scary! </p>
<p>Since I have a business account that allows servers I have been using port forwarding. I am a programmer and occasionally I fire up my laptop turned server for testing. </p>
<p>I also have set up my WiFi to only accept those devices that I have configured by MAC address. </p>
<p>Any toughs on my pending router purchase?</p>
<p>Thank you so much for all your feedback!!</p>
<p>Keith </p>
