if you think that building something based on the j1900 is better
to me they fall to something unreliable/you don't know if it's 100% compatible

They run PC software, just like the refurb HP desktop I'm using now.

For a 20Mbps connection with 4 computers behind it the SG-1100 is ideal.

20 Mb is getting a tad slow these days. My own connection is 75 Mb (actually over 90) and a friend has 300.

@stephenw10 i like overkill i will go for 3100 and 5100 for the main office. I am also considering upgrading our bandwidth. What do you suggest for a stable vpn connections, or is my current bandwidth are enough?
