Is it possible to get a router with 512 bit encryption? I have been told by a friend you can get routers with 512 encryption but I can't seem to find one.

I have and ADSL Internet connection (from Pipex UK) and use an Alcatel 330 USB modem. I need to share the connection between 2 PC’s only. I am looking for a wired modem as I do not trust the security of the wireless modems.

Features I am looking for are

512 bit encryption
Easy to configure
Peer to peer friendly

Sorry I mean I am looking for a wired router not modem.

Hi enner100,

You don't need a router to connect 2 PCs... a crossed cable between them will do the job.

Sorry I did not explain myself properly. What I meant to say is I only have software firewall. I want to start using a hardware firewall. I also want the firewall to have a router as well.

Sorry is this better? What I want is a hardware firewall with router that has 512 bit encryption.

I want to stop using my crap software firewall.

Sorry for being such a newbie.

So can anybody recommend a good Ethernet hardware firewall and router lol?

Well, I really like D-Link, I have bought & installed three different setups using the w/less router and setup, and I have had excellent results with them. It is only necessary to encrypt no more than 128bit max. I have my home network set at 64, and nobody has busted in yet.

My personal favorite is the Linksys BEFSR41; it has 4 100BT network ports for your "internal" network and a 10/100BT port for your ADSL modem to plug into.

Great router/firewall in my opinion, easy to configure, just remember to change the default admin password and disable remote configuration.
