Its a router and not a firewall - are you looking for something for your home or the datacenter..ugh..?

Something that i can use in both locations.

Yeh, its not a firewall and what "firewall" it has is just the very basics (I have the 950 here at home).

....as for using it in the datacenter, unless you are needing to provide free wifi or something for your clients it will be of little use as the CPU/RAM will not handle anything more than your normal home use.

Alright thank you.
