thewireguys 3 Posted March 24, 2008 I have been testing their 2WG (Firewall) GS2024 (Switch). Great price points, nice build quality and the best part, their tech support is in the US. I would like to here from someone with more networking experience compare their products to Cisco , Netgear, Linksys, Sonicwall....... Zyxel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C7 in CA 0 Posted March 24, 2008 I like the spec's. I have never used the gear but that 2WG interests me. Are those antennas replaceable? and if so do you know what connectors it uses? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewireguys 3 Posted March 24, 2008 Yes they are replaceable it's a smaller connection (thinks its SMA).. The wireless is very powerful a lot stronger then my Linksys AP. You can adjust the wireless power if you need a smaller range. The 2WG doesn't look like much but it comes with a 750 page manual, it has a lot of features most of which are over my head.

C7 in CA 0 Posted March 24, 2008 Thanks for the reply. I may swap out our sonicwall to test that 2WG. We need the VPN for a technician using VoIP through a wISP that blocks ports. (which is why I brought up VPN in your other post about blocked ports) But I really like the idea of sliding in my Verizon Aircard if the DSL goes down. I was considering bringing in cable internet for a backup connection. But that is a substantial cash outlay every year that would only ever be used if the DSL went down. The Aircard cost more but at least it gets used regardless of the DSL working or not. Are you using the 3G for backup or is it the main Internet access?

thewireguys 3 Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) I use the G3 for both. I have it to play around with and to try different stuff with IP cameras. You can set it up so the aircard is the back up to Wan 1 or you can have it the other way around Wan1 be the back up for the aircard. You can also setup load balancing so you can use the aircard and Wan 1 at the same time. The 2WG also has a modem that you can use for backup of Wan1 and the Aircard. I am very happy with it.

C7 in CA 0 Posted March 26, 2008 Sounds impressive. Lots of features considering the price point! The 2WG is on my short list of must try products. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
