We have a 1GB WAN Connection. Needs NAT so performance is a must.

What do you recommend?

      Very few people need a “router”, Cisco or otherwise. Unless you’re doing BGP with full tables, building a bunch of GRE tunnels, or have some advanced traffic shaping needs, it’s probably not the right tool.

      If you’re studying for a CCNA, NP, or IE then you might want to look into renting a lab or virtualizing one. That will be far more cost effective.

      If your needs are business-oriented with a budget but don’t fall into the list I gave above, consider Fortinet or Palo Alto. Without a meaningful budget, OPNsense is probably the way to go.

      I would not, under any circumstances, recommend Ubiquiti.
