There is NOTHING wrong with a $50 router. I have one and it works just great. Big bucks don't always mean the best.

Try again.
Um yes it works as a router...but not as a true firewall, especially if it's a crap linksys router.
first /me waves to the other smoothwall users on the forum and asks do you know of any software that reads the logs from it like wallwatcher for example (pm me if you do)
and now why are linksys routers so bad? Minbe is a old befsr41 thats now sering as nothing more than switch hub what ever you want to call it. I bought it new when it was new how ever many years ago that was and have had no problems ever. Is there some huge exploit that breaks the defenses it has for your lan or what ? just curious here i hear people say how bad they are but never what makes them bad.

 Dragon,
The guy for some reason has a bug in his bonnet against the lower priced Linksys, ignore his comment. The $50 linksys I have is not bad, it works just fine as I said. It has been blocking EVERYTHING, including the HUNDREDS of Mydoom attempts the past week or 2. I use Link Logger (paid for it 2 days after downloading it) and it works great also, shows/tells you everything.

As I said, there is NOTHING wrong with the BEFSR41 I have, it's been working like a champ for a month now nonstop.

Tom
