    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.

    If you only want to share between two computers, why don't you just get a Crossover Cable?

    A wired router does not need 512bit encryption. If configured correctly, wireless networks can be safe, but you must use very strong keys and know what you're doing.

    Sorry my mistake. 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.

    So I am looking for a hardware firewall with router that has 512 encryption.

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

    I want to stop using my software firewall.

    What reason is compelling you to get a 512bit encrypted router? All wired routers from Netgear, D-link, Linksys etc should be good.
