The Best Wi-Fi for Small and Midsize Companies: The 5 Best Routers
You need a wireless network for your smaller business that is more robust than what you have at home but less daunting -- and expensive -- than what the bigger guys get. Have we got the router for you
This router from Nortel may weigh less than a pound, but it packs some serious SMB punch. It supports a wide range of services that smaller businesses need, is easy to use, and works with either cable or DSL modems. It will support hundreds of calling, voice messaging, unified messaging, automated attendant, and contact center features and will help prioritize traffic, so services such as VoIP calls are given priority and e-mail or faxes are given less priority. It can be used to create a secure VPN, even over the public Internet, and supports up to 10 secure IPsec tunnels simultaneously. It also features a built-in firewall and converts internal IP addresses into your public IP address and vice versa. Lastly, Nortel says it designed the BSR-252 to be plug and play. A configuration wizard will help you set up the router and manage it from any Web-enabled PC.
