      Need some recommendations on hardware for a dual wan gigabit.

      I will have 2 500/100 lines coming in.

      Have 20 IP phones, 20 computers, NAS server, Need a router that will be able to give me the best speeds.

        Anything relatively recent with a real cpu (starting around i3) and intel nics should be plenty.

          If you plan on accessing that NAS over VPN, make sure you have enough CPU to handle AES at those speeds. Probably make sure you get AES-NI on the CPU, even if it isn't used yet, AES-NI should be getting support "soon".
